Oral Surgery Services at Innovation Dental
At Innovation Dental, we build upon a legacy started by Dr. John Haymore, Oro Valley’s very first dentist over 30 years ago. His unwavering commitment to excellent care remains evident in our practice today, led by Dr. Jess Haymore, Dr. Peterson, and Dr. Adams. In addition to our preventive and restorative treatments, we’re proud to offer a range of oral surgery services that address a variety of conditions—everything from simple extractions to dental implant placements.
What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery is a specialized field of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating diseases, injuries, and defects of the mouth, teeth, and jaw. Our team has undergone extensive training and education, ensuring that every patient experiences the highest standards of care. We also invest in cutting-edge technology to make our procedures as precise, efficient, and comfortable as possible.
Common Oral Surgery Procedures
- Tooth Extractions (including selective third-molar extractions)
- Bone Grafting
- Dental Implants
- Mini Dental Implants
- Certain cosmetic surgeries or reconstructive procedures
From straightforward treatments to more complex surgeries, our goal is always to maintain or restore your oral health while delivering a positive, stress-free experience.
Tooth Extractions
Simple Tooth Extractions
Sometimes a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be saved. In these cases, our team may recommend a simple extraction to protect the overall health of your smile. We use local anesthesia and, if needed, mild sedation options for maximum comfort. Our approach is gentle and patient-focused, ensuring you feel at ease from start to finish.
Selective Third Molar (Wisdom Tooth) Extractions
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed, but if they’re impacted, painful, or threatening adjacent teeth, extraction may be necessary. At Innovation Dental, we perform selective wisdom tooth extractions on a case-by-case basis. For more complex or deeply impacted third molars, we may refer you to a trusted specialist. Our team will guide you every step of the way to ensure safe, effective care.
Bone Grafting
When a tooth is lost or removed, the jawbone can begin to recede over time. Bone grafting is a procedure that helps rebuild and strengthen the jaw, creating a stable foundation for:
- Dental implants
- Improved facial structure
- Overall jaw health
By using advanced grafting materials or even the patient’s own bone, we can help ensure long-term success for future restorations. We’ll discuss all your options—whether autogenous, allograft, or xenograft—to find the solution that best fits your unique situation.
Dental Implants
Losing a tooth can affect not only your smile’s appearance but also your confidence and overall oral health.
Dental implants offer a
long-lasting and
natural-looking replacement:
Implant Placement:
A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting like an artificial tooth root.
Healing & Integration:
Over several weeks to months, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a strong, stable foundation.
Restoration:
We cap the implant with a custom-made crown, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Thanks to modern advancements in imaging and surgical techniques, dental implants are a
highly successful and
predictable solution. Our team will evaluate your bone density and overall health to determine if you’re a good candidate.
Mini Dental Implants
For certain patients—especially those with lower bone density—mini dental implants can be an excellent alternative. They function similarly to traditional implants but are smaller in diameter:
Less Invasive:
The placement procedure is often quicker and less invasive than traditional implants.
Faster Healing:
Because they’re smaller, healing times may be reduced.
Ideal for Denture Support:
Mini implants can secure loose dentures, improving comfort and stability.
During your consultation, we’ll help you decide if mini dental implants are a suitable option, ensuring you get the most effective and personalized treatment for your needs.
