Oral Surgery

When Is Oral Surgery Necessary?

Oral surgery is typically considered a last-resort treatment option, but certain situations may arise where pursuing this path can produce the best result. Some common reasons our experts may recommend oral surgery include:

• Restore jaw function to improve eating, speaking, or breathing
• Create space for incoming teeth
• Improve facial appearance
• Help facilitate later orthodontic treatment
• Wisdom teeth extractions
• Improve open bite
• Reduce grinding or excessive wearing of teeth

In-Office Surgical Suite

Each of our nine locations has an in-office surgical suite, so we can handle your child's surgery without you having to go to another location. If your child's dental treatment requires oral surgery, then you can rest assured that you’re in compassionate, experienced hands. Our Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry team are committed to providing the highest level of care and the latest treatment options available. Schedule your child's assessment today to learn more.

Valleygate Surgical Dental Center

In more complex cases, we recommend families visit Valleygate Dental Surgical Center, where our doctors have access to general anesthesia via Anesthesiologists and a team of credited nurses.  This office is specifically designed to manage the unique needs of children, including those with exceptional challenges. Our doctors also have privileges with local hospitals, such as Novant Medical Center, and have access to their OR facilities to better manage the dental needs of patients with special health considerations.
