Whether you're dealing with pain, infection, or missing teeth, our team is here to guide you with compassion and clarity.
A Calm, Patient-Focused Approach to Oral Surgery
At Lee Dentistry, we understand that undergoing oral surgery can feel significant. That's why we take extra time to walk you through your treatment plan, answer your questions, and make sure you always know what to expect.
From your first visit to your recovery, our goal is simple: help you feel informed, comfortable, and cared for.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be restored due to decay, damage, or infection, an extraction may be the healthiest option. Our team performs gentle extractions with a focus on comfort and efficiency. After your procedure, we’ll discuss options for replacing the tooth if needed to restore both function and appearance.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth often don’t have enough space to grow in properly, which can lead to pain, swelling, crowding, or infection. We evaluate wisdom teeth carefully and recommend removal when they are likely to cause future problems. Our approach is focused on minimizing discomfort and supporting a smooth, easy recovery process.
Root Canal Therapy
A gentle root canal can save a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed. When the inner nerve of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, root canal therapy removes the infection, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further damage. This treatment helps relieve pain while preserving your natural tooth.
With modern techniques and local anesthesia, root canals are far more comfortable than most patients expect.
Gum Surgery
Healthy gums are essential for a healthy smile.
When gum disease progresses beyond what routine cleanings can treat, gum surgery may be recommended to remove infection, reduce pocketing, and protect the supporting structures of your teeth. Our approach is conservative, focusing on preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is a quick, minor procedure that removes or releases a restrictive band of tissue in the mouth known as a frenum. This treatment may be recommended when the frenum affects speech, oral function, orthodontic movement, or comfort. Frenectomies are commonly performed on both children and adults and are typically well tolerated.
Your Comfort Comes First
We know that many patients feel nervous about oral surgery. That’s why every detail of your visit is designed to help you feel relaxed and supported. At Lee Dentistry, comfort includes:
- A friendly, familiar team that knows you by name
- A calm, welcoming office environment
- TVs in treatment rooms for distraction and ease
- Cozy blankets and sunglasses for comfort during procedures
- A beverage station in our office
- Massage chairs to help you relax
- Our in-office therapy dog, available to help reduce anxiety
- A gentle, step-by-step approach to every procedure
