Oral Surgery

When you come to Shadow Creek Ranch Dental Specialists, we have everything you need to keep your mouth healthy. From pediatric dental care to orthodontics, our specialists are always ready to help. Our oral surgeon is no different. Dr. Johnson offers a number of different procedures that correct issues in your mouth and get you back on the path to good oral health.

• Corrective Jaw Surgery: Corrective jaw surgery, otherwise known as orthognathic surgery, is performed to correct a wide array of both major and minor irregularities. Whether skeletal or dental, this includes correcting misalignment in jaws or teeth. Corrective surgery can improve your ability to chew, speak, and even breathe. Although it is not a cosmetic procedure, it can also enhance your personal appearance.
• Bone Grafting and Implants: For people who want dental implants but don’t have a strong enough jaw, we can perform bone grafting. This procedure rebuilds the foundation of your jaw so that implants can be placed.
• Wisdom Teeth Extractions: A majority of people have wisdom teeth that come in at angles. When they erupt, they push against your teeth, causing pain and shifts in alignment. An oral surgeon can extract these teeth long before they cause any problems in your mouth!
• Sedation: Some patients feel severe anxiety about visiting the dentist. No matter what, receiving dental care is crucial. To help these patients cope, we offer various forms of sedation.
