Oral Surgery Procedures
At Lubbock Dental Specialists, we offer many services at our offices in Lubbock, Amarillo, and Plainview, TX. Dr. Graves and Dr. Wilkinson offer oral surgery procedures to improve your oral health and function. We invite you to learn more about the services we provide and schedule a consultation to find out which procedure is right for you and your oral health needs.
Dental Implants
Dental implants serve as a healthy, natural-looking tooth restoration and can replace one or more missing or damaged teeth.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Many people don’t have room for wisdom teeth, or third molars. Having them extracted prevents pain, infection, misalignment, and more.
4-Hour Smile
In only 4 hours, we can replace an entire arch of teeth with a fixed, fully functioning arch of teeth supported by dental implants.
Tooth Extractions
While we make every effort to save your natural teeth, a severely damaged or infected tooth may require extraction to protect remaining teeth.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting restores health and function to facial bones and tissue, and regeneration treatments like PRGF and BMAC® speed up recovery.
Jaw Surgery
Bite problems, facial pain, TMJ disorders, and congenital abnormalities can be corrected by surgically aligning the jaws.
Stem Cells
Stem cells can be harvested from wisdom teeth and potentially used in life-saving treatments in the future.
Oral Pathology
Our oral surgeons can detect and treat oral cancer and disease. With regular screenings, oral cancer can be diagnosed and managed early.
Facial Trauma
We treat lacerations, fractures, burns, and more to ensure facial structures regain function while achieving pleasing aesthetics.
Impacted Canines
Expose and bond treatment helps an impacted canine tooth erupt into the dental arch so it can function properly.
TMJ Disorders
Pain, clicking, and stiffness in the jaw joint may indicate a TMJ disorder, which can be treated with non-surgical or surgical approaches.
Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
Pre-prosthetic surgery is a minor procedure that prepares the mouth for dentures to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
Cleft Lip and Palate
If a child is born with a cleft in the lip or palate, we can close the gap during infancy to restore oral function and appearance.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy treats a tongue-tie or lip-tie, which occurs when the bands of connective tissue in the mouth are too long or thick.
Distraction Osteogenesis
By slowly pulling two segments of bone apart, new bone can form in the empty space, resulting in a stronger and healthier jaw.
Cosmetic Services
To help you feel confident and rejuvenated, we offer BOTOX® and JUVÉDERM® to reduce the signs of aging and restore volume.
