Oral Surgery Services in Austin & Round Rock, TX
At Forest Family Dentistry we offer a range of oral surgery services across our Austin and Round Rock locations, handled in house by our experienced team using modern techniques and technology. We know that the words "oral surgery" can feel intimidating, but our goal is always to make the process as comfortable, clear, and stress free as possible from your very first consulation through your recovery.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is severly damaged, deeply infected, or causing crowding that affects the rest of your smile, a gentle extraction is sometimes the best path forward for your long term oral health. Our team focuses on making extractions as comfortable as possible and will walk you through exactly what to expect before, during, and after the procedure so there are no surprises.
Removal of Over-Retained Baby Teeth
Baby teeth that do not fall out on their own can interfere with permanent teeth coming in properly and may affect jaw development over time. We safely and gently remove over-retained baby teeth to help everything come in the way it should.
Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth and we place them right here in our offices. A titanium post is anchored into the jawbone where it fuses naturally over time, creating a stable and long lastin foundation for a custom crown that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.
Bone Grafting
If there is not enough bone in the jaw to support a dental implant, bone grafting can rebuild and strengthen that area so implant placement becomes possible. It is a straightforward procedure that opens the door to tooth replacement for patients who may have been told they are not candidates elsewhere.
Gum Surgery
For patients with advanced gum disease that has not responded to non-surgical treatment, targeted gum surgery can reduce inflammation, eliminate infection, and protect the support structures that keep your teeth in place.
Gum Grafting
Gum recession exposes the roots of your teeth, which can cause sensitivity, affect the appearance of your smile, and leave teeth more vulnerable over time. Gum grafting restores that tissue, protects exposed roots, and gives your smile a healthier, more even look.
When We Refer Out
While we handle many oral surgery procedures right here in our offices, there are cases where a specialist is the best option for you. When that happens we coordinate closely with trusted local oral surgeons in the Austin area to make the transition seamless and make sure you are in excellent hands every step of the way.
