We perform each surgical treatment with the utmost care, backed by years of expertise.
Biopsies
For early detection
If suspicious lesions or abnormal tissue is present, we may recommend a biopsy. This involves a member of our team taking a small tissue sample for analysis. Biopsies allow us to identify and treat any concerns early. A simple biopsy can provide you with peace of mind, but it can also be life-saving in cases of confirmed oral cancer.
Our Surgical Treatments Help You
RESTORE FUNCTION
IMPROVE ORAL HEALTH
PREVENT FURTHER DENTAL PROBLEMS
Frenectomy
Improve oral function and comfort
A frenectomy corrects conditions such as tongue-ties and lip-ties that restrict movement and affect feeding, particularly in babies. These conditions can also contribute to speech difficulties. Frenectomies are a fast and straightforward treatment that improves a child’s oral function and comfort. This provides your little loved ones with relief and improves quality of life.
Canine Exposure
Ensures proper tooth eruption
At Metro Dentalcare Richfield Oral Surgery, we perform surgical canine exposure treatment for canines (sometimes referred to as eye teeth) that are trapped beneath the gum tissue. This simple procedure removes the problematic bone or gum tissue to either encourage the natural eruption of a tooth or prepare a patient for orthodontic treatment that will guide the tooth into place.
Temporary Anchorage Devices
Stabilizes teeth ready for orthodontics
At Metro Dentalcare Richfield Oral Surgery, we place temporary anchorage devices (TADs) to provide stability during your orthodontic treatment. These small, titanium screws support tooth movement in ways that traditional braces alone can’t. This results in more effective treatment and better patient outcomes.
Tooth Extractions
Gentle care for problem teeth
When a tooth is too damaged to be saved, extraction is necessary. The team at Metro Dentalcare Richfield Oral Surgery provides gentle, compassionate care to ensure your extraction is as comfortable and painless as possible. Removing a problematic tooth will not only help you to maintain your overall oral health, but it can also help you to avoid further complications.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Safe and comfortable treatment
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, and misalignment of your other teeth. At Metro Dentalcare Richfield Oral Surgery, our team specializes in the safe and comfortable removal of impacted wisdom teeth. We have a range of sedation options available, which our team will discuss with you prior to your appointment. Using the latest techniques, we will ensure your extraction appointment is stress-free. We’ll also provide you with detailed aftercare instructions so that you can enjoy a smooth recovery.
Treatment for Orofacial Trauma
Repairing injuries with care and precision
We understand that some patients may experience dental anxiety. Sedation options are available to ensure you remain relaxed and comfortable throughout your treatment. We can provide nitrous oxide or oral sedation. Our team will discuss your individual needs and any concerns you have, and then work with you to determine the best approach for your circumstances. Here at Metro Dentalcare Richfield Periodontics, we want to make every visit as stress-free as possible.
Socket Preservation
Preparing your gums for further treatment
Following the loss of a tooth, it’s important to preserve the structure of your jawbone to support future replacements. Socket preservation helps you to maintain your bone health, making it easier to place implants or other restorations later on. Even if you aren’t yet sure when or how you will replace the missing tooth, socket preservation is still an important step to keeping your options open.
Ridge Expansion
Creating space for implants
When the jawbone is too narrow to support implants, ridge expansion can help. This procedure widens the bone, ensuring a more stable foundation for your new teeth. Ridge expansion helps improve the success rate of your future dental implants.
Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
Preparing your jaw for dentures
At Metro Dentalcare Richfield Oral Surgery, our team is dedicated to ensuring your dentures fit securely and comfortably. Before the creation of new dentures, your jawbone may need to be reshaped. Our team performs pre-prosthetic surgery to smooth the bone ridge, allowing for more comfortable, better-fitting dentures that will enhance both your oral function and confidence.
Bone Grafting
Rebuilding your jaw for implant placement
If the jawbone has weakened or deteriorated, you may need a bone graft to increase its density before you can move forward with dental implants. Our team uses advanced techniques to perform alveolar onlay grafts. These grafts strengthen the bone and prepare it for successful implant placement.
Sinus Lift
Preparing for dental implants in the upper jaw
At Metro Dentalcare Richfield Oral Surgery, our team often performs sinus lifts to prepare the upper jaw for dental implants. This process gently raises the sinus membrane and adds bone to create a strong foundation for implant placement.
Post-Extraction Denture Care
Immediate dentures for a seamless transition
For patients needing dentures after their extractions, we offer immediate denture placement. Our team ensures a smooth transition by placing your new teeth right after the extraction appointment. This way, you can leave our office with a confident smile on the same day.
Implant-Retained Dentures
A stable solution for secure dentures
Implant-retained dentures provide added stability for patients seeking a secure alternative to traditional dentures. After placing the small implant posts into your jaw, we will release you back to your referring doctor’s care so they can place your dentures. The implants will ensure your dentures stay in place, offering premium-level comfort and stability. We also offer All-on-4 treatment for a full arch restoration. Ask our team at your appointment to see if you’re an ideal candidate for this innovative treatment.
Dental Implants
Permanent solutions for missing teeth
Dental implants offer a permanent solution for replacing your missing teeth. Our team at Metro Dentalcare Richfield Oral Surgery uses cutting-edge technology to place implants that feel and function like natural teeth. Dental implants restore your smile and greatly improve your ability to eat, speak, and live confidently.
Sedation Options
Ensuring a comfortable, stress-free experience
We understand that not every patient is particularly excited about getting oral surgery. That’s why we offer several sedation options to ensure your experience is as comfortable and relaxing as possible. From nitrous oxide to IV sedation to general anesthesia, we tailor our approach to your needs. Our trusted and experienced team provides all sedation in-office.
