Oral surgery provides advanced solutions that restore the strength, stability and function of your smile, delivering results that simpler treatments cannot achieve.
Oral surgery corrects issues that can’t be treated through basic dental procedures, preventing infections, bone loss, pain and future complications.
Removing infected or damaged teeth, treating the jaw or strengthening bone structure can dramatically improve your bite, chewing ability and everyday comfort.
Untreated dental infections or impacted wisdom teeth can lead to severe pain, swelling or systemic issues. Oral surgery prevents these problems early.
Bone grafting and corrective procedures help maintain facial shape, support implants and enhance long-term stability.
Treatments like bone grafts or strategic extractions prepare your mouth for strong, long-lasting implant results.
You may be a strong candidate for oral surgery if you:
Have pain, swelling or signs of infection
Need an extraction or bone support for implants
Have impacted, crowded or misaligned wisdom teeth
Have jaw discomfort or trouble chewing
Need structural improvement to support long-term oral health
Every treatment recommendation is based on your health, anatomy and long-term goals.

"Couldn’t recommend this place enough"
I’ve been coming here the past 6 years give or take and always have such a pleasant experience! It’s great to know that current practices and techniques are constantly being refined, instead of just adhering to the norm and being stuck in the past. They recently fit me for a night guard and used new technology to get a “mold” for me without having to physically put my teeth against a material. Smooth, seamless, and right out the door! Couldn’t recommend this place enough.
"The best dental experience I’ve had to date!"
The best dental experience I’ve had to date! Dr. Kim was fast, efficient, kind, and did excellent work. His dental hygienist had the most calming presence and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. After not being in a dental chair for years I was anxious going in, but my experience went so well, any fears I had completely disappeared. I’m so grateful to Dr. Kim and his amazing staff. I plan on staying with Enhance Dentist.
Most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. Local anesthesia is used, and sedation options may be available. Mild soreness afterward is normal and usually resolves within a few days.
You may need oral surgery if you have impacted wisdom teeth, severe tooth decay, infections, bone loss, jaw alignment issues or if you require preparation for dental implants.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Simple extractions may heal in a few days, while bone grafts or more complex surgeries may take several weeks. Dr. Kim provides clear, customized aftercare instructions.
You may experience mild swelling, discomfort or tenderness. Following your prescribed home-care instructions, using ice packs and taking medication as directed help ensure smooth healing.
Dr. Kim gives personalized instructions. Preparation may include arranging transportation, avoiding certain foods, pausing specific medications or fasting if sedation is planned.
