What is oral surgery?

Oral surgery is a broad term that covers a wide range of procedures designed to address issues relating to teeth, gums and jaws as well as the surrounding structures. They are necessary to relieve pain, improve functionality or overall oral health. New River Valley Dental Care uses the latest technologies and techniques to make your procedure as painless and efficient as possible.

What are the most common types of oral surgery we offer?

  • 1. Wisdom Teeth Removal

    Third molars or wisdom teeth are often visible in late adolescence and early adulthood. These teeth can lead to overcrowding or pain if the jaw is not large enough for them. Our team is specialized in wisdom tooth extraction to avoid complications and promote long term oral health.

  • 2. Dental Implants

    Dental implants are a natural-looking and durable solution for missing teeth. The titanium post is surgically implanted into the jawbone as a foundation for the custom crown. Dental implants restore your smile, but they also help to prevent bone loss and maintain facial structures.

  • 3. Tooth Extractions

    Extractions may be necessary in some cases due to trauma, severe decay or overcrowding. Local anesthesia, sedation and other options are used to make the procedure as stress-free and pain-free as possible.

  • 4. Bone Grafting

    Bone grafting can be performed to prepare for dental implants, or to restore bone lost due gum disease or trauma. This procedure helps to restore the integrity of your jawbone and provides a solid foundation for any future dental work.

  • 5. Corrective Jaw Surgery

    This procedure, also known as orthognathic surgical treatment, addresses jawbone irregularities that may cause difficulties in speaking, chewing or breathing. Corrective jaw surgery is a great way to improve both aesthetics and functionality.

  • 6. Oral Pathologies: Treatment

    We diagnose and treat a wide range of oral pathologies including lesions, cysts and tumors. Our team can handle these conditions with precision.

Advanced Sedation Options to Relax Yourself

New River Valley Dental Care prioritizes patient comfort and wellbeing during each procedure. We offer several sedation options for those with anxiety or fear of dental treatment.


Nitrous oxide (Laughing gas) - This mildly sedative inhaled via a mask provides a soothing effect during the procedure. The sedative wears off rapidly, so you can resume your normal activities with little downtime.


Oral Sedation - For a deeper relaxation, you can take a prescription medication before your appointment. This option is best for patients who have moderate dental anxiety, or are undergoing long procedures.


IV Sedation - Administered into the bloodstream directly, IV sedation induces a deep relaxation that is closely monitored by our team of experienced professionals. This option is recommended when patients have a fear of dental work or are undergoing complex surgery.

Supporting your long-term oral health

The journey does not end with oral surgery. New River Valley Dental Care is committed to maintaining your results and preventing future issues. For long-term success, regular checkups, an oral hygiene regimen, and following the dentist's advice are all essential.
