Oral Surgery in Coconut Creek, FL

Careful surgical planning, clear explanations, and support through recovery.

What Is Oral Surgery?

Surgical care may be part of replacing missing teeth or preparing the jaw for a restoration. Dr. Emmy will assess your needs and explain which procedures are offered here, what each involves, and when a specialist referral may be appropriate.

Procedures such as bone grafting, sinus augmentation, or reshaping the jaw ridge may be considered when preparing for an implant or denture. The recommended approach depends on the location, available bone, medical history, and planned restoration; not every patient needs these procedures.

Your examination and imaging help determine which options may be appropriate and whether care in our office or a referral is the better next step.

Why Oral Surgery May Be Recommended

A surgical procedure is recommended only when it supports a specific treatment goal. For example, grafting may help prepare an area for an implant, depending on the available bone and the planned restoration.

A sinus lift is a type of bone-grafting procedure in the upper jaw. It may be considered when additional bone support is needed in the area of the back upper teeth before implant placement.

Alveoloplasty reshapes and smooths the jaw ridge. It may be performed with an extraction or when the ridge needs adjustment for a denture. The expected benefit and healing plan depend on the individual case.
