Oral surgery covers a range of procedures, from routine tooth extractions to more involved treatments like bone grafting, and it is often the recommended path when a tooth cannot be saved or when a dental issue requires a surgical approach. At GN Dental, we perform most oral surgery procedures right in our Yuba City office, so you do not need a separate referral for common cases.

We understand that the idea of oral surgery can feel intimidating, which is why we take extra time to explain what to expect before, during, and after your procedure. Depending on the treatment and your comfort level, we offer local anesthesia as well as sedation options, so you can stay relaxed and comfortable throughout.

Whether you need a tooth extracted, an impacted wisdom tooth removed, bone grafting to prepare for a future implant, or treatment of oral soft tissue, our team uses careful, modern techniques designed to minimize trauma and speed up healing. After your procedure, we provide clear aftercare instructions and are available if you have any questions or concerns during your recovery.

Most patients find recovery more manageable than they expected, and our team stays available throughout your healing process if any questions or concerns come up.

Tooth Extractions

We remove damaged or non-restorable teeth, including wisdom teeth when necessary. Our dentist uses advanced techniques to minimize discomfort. We offer local anesthesia and sedation to make the process as painless as possible.

Impacted Teeth

If your wisdom teeth or other teeth are stuck beneath the gum line, we perform surgical extractions to free them. Removing impacted teeth can prevent pain, infection, and crowding of adjacent teeth.

Bone Grafting

For patients needing dental implants or who have lost bone volume, we perform bone grafting. This involves placing bone material to strengthen the jaw in preparation for a future restoration.

Soft Tissue Procedures

Some oral surgeries involve gum tissue ( see Soft Tissue Periodontics page ). We can perform gum contouring or removal of small oral lesions in-office.

After oral surgery, we provide clear instructions and follow-up to ensure you heal comfortably. Pain management and infection prevention are top priorities - we may prescribe antibiotics and give tips for care at home. Most post-op soreness is manageable with over-the-counter or prescription medication.

Comfort-Focused Surgical Care

Oral surgery sounds intimidating, but most procedures, from a single extraction to bone grafting, are completed right in our office under local anesthesia or sedation, so you can recover in familiar surroundings rather than a hospital setting.

We walk you through the procedure beforehand, answer questions honestly, and give you a clear recovery plan so you know exactly what to expect in the days after treatment.
