Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They act as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or full-mouth restorations. Implants restore both function and aesthetics, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

Advanced Surgical Treatments for Oral Health
Oral surgery includes a number of surgical dental treatments. The goal of oral surgery is to improve the function, health, and appearance of your smile and the surrounding structures, such as your jaw. In many cases, we strive to provide the most conservative treatment possible. However, oral surgery may be necessary to correct certain conditions and improve your oral and overall health. Oral surgery may include:
- Tooth Extraction: For teeth that are decayed, damaged, or infected to the point that an effective restoration is impossible.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal: For wisdom teeth that are impacted or have grown in at an incorrect angle.
- Jaw Surgery: To treat TMJ disorders, correct uneven jaw growth, or improve the fit of dentures.
- Bone Grafts: To increase bone density or improve the chances for a successful dental implant.
Our Commitment to Safe and Effective Oral Surgery
While we provide many oral surgery treatments at our office, we also work closely with other dental professionals and hospitals to ensure you receive the high-quality results you deserve. Our dentists carefully evaluate your smile and needs to determine whether oral surgery is the best available treatment for you.
Our team is committed to making your oral surgery as comfortable as possible. Contact us today to learn more about oral surgery and schedule your individual consultation!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What types of dental surgery do you offer at Coastal Dental Arts?
We provide a range of dental surgical services, including tooth extractions (simple and surgical), wisdom teeth removal, dental implant placement, and bone grafting, as needed. Each surgery is tailored to your specific dental condition and comfort level.
Q. Why would I need dental surgery?
Dental surgery may be recommended when teeth are severely damaged or decayed, impacted (such as wisdom teeth), infected, or causing bite problems. Surgery can also be part of restorative treatment plans, like placing dental implants to replace missing teeth or grafting bone to support implants. Our surgical procedures aim to improve oral health, function, and long‑term comfort.
Q. Will dental surgery be painful?
We use modern anesthesia, sedation options, and gentle techniques to keep you comfortable during surgery. The majority of patients experience minimal to no discomfort during the procedure itself. After surgery, mild soreness or sensitivity is normal, and we’ll provide clear instructions and pain‑management recommendations, so you heal comfortably.
Q. How do I prepare for dental surgery?
Before your surgery, we review your medical history, current medications, and any allergies. We may take X-rays or 3D imaging to assess the area thoroughly. You’ll receive personalized instructions, such as fasting if sedation is used, and guidance to ensure you arrive prepared and comfortable.
Q. What should I expect during the recovery period?
Recovery depends on the type of surgery performed. The majority of patients encounter slight swelling or a feeling of pressure for several days. We will provide detailed after‑care instructions, such as soft-diet recommendations, gentle oral hygiene practices, and guidance on managing swelling or discomfort. Most people return to normal activities within a few days, although full healing can take longer depending on the procedure.
Q. Are dental surgical procedures safe?
Yes. Dental surgery performed at Coastal Dental Arts is safe and supported by thorough planning, advanced imaging, sterile techniques, and professional monitoring. We assess your overall health and dental condition before recommending surgery, and we tailor anesthesia or sedation options to your medical needs to ensure safety.
Q. How do I care for my mouth after dental surgery?
Post‑surgical care generally includes gently rinsing with warm salt water, avoiding vigorous spitting, sticking to soft foods for a few days, and maintaining clean but gentle oral hygiene around the surgical site. We give you specific instructions based on your procedure, so you recover well and avoid complications.
Q. Will dental insurance cover surgical procedures?
Many dental insurance plans cover part of the cost for medically necessary dental surgery, such as extractions, impacted wisdom teeth removal, and certain bone grafts. Coverage varies by plan. During your visit, we review your insurance benefits, help you understand what is covered, and explain any out‑of‑pocket costs. We provide various payment options to accommodate your needs if necessary.
Q. What types of insurance or payment options do you accept for dental surgery?
We accept many common dental insurance plans, especially PPOs and employer‑based coverage that include surgical benefits. For patients without insurance or with limited coverage, we offer flexible payment plans and financing options to make essential surgical care accessible. Our team will walk you through all the choices so you can make an informed decision.
Q. How do I know if I need a bone graft or implant related to surgery?
Bone grafting may be recommended when you don’t have enough jawbone to support a dental implant. It is a common need after long‑term tooth loss or bone loss due to periodontal disease. During a comprehensive evaluation, we assess your bone levels and determine whether grafting will enhance long‑term implant success. If you’re considering implants, we’ll explain the process, timeline, and how surgery supports durable results.
