Getting your wisdom teeth removed can seem like a daunting experience, but finding the right dental office for your procedure can make all the difference in the world. Dental Arts of Florida proudly boasts the most professional oral surgery Jacksonville, FL, has to offer. By taking advantage of our oral sedation options, you'll forget your procedure ever happened.
Oral surgery refers to any surgical procedure performed in or around your mouth and jaw, usually by a dentist with specialized training in surgical techniques. It’s often necessary when non-invasive treatments cannot resolve conditions like tooth impaction, bone loss, or infection.
At Dental Arts of Florida, we use digital diagnostics and advanced imaging, such as CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), to ensure surgical accuracy and treatment planning.
You may be a good candidate for oral surgery if:
Oral surgery can significantly improve your oral and overall health. Key benefits include:
Our patients enjoy long-term success and faster recovery with precise treatment planning and post-operative support.
Oral surgery is typically used to treat issues beyond general dentistry's scope. Common causes and symptoms include:
Wisdom teeth stuck beneath the gum line can cause pain, swelling, infection, and pressure on surrounding teeth.
Symptoms: Jaw pain, swelling, gum tenderness, and difficulty opening the mouth.
Severe decay or fractured teeth may expose nerves, leading to infection, sharp pain, and difficulty chewing or speaking.
Symptoms: Deep pain, infection, swelling, bad breath, and inability to chew properly.
Caused by missing teeth or gum disease, bone loss weakens jaw support and complicates implant or denture placement.
Symptoms: Loose teeth, sunken facial appearance, or difficulty with dentures.
Unusual mouth sores, lumps, or patches may indicate infection, cysts, or oral cancer and require prompt surgical evaluation.
Symptoms: Persistent sores, white/red patches, lumps, or unexplained bleeding in the mouth.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult with our surgical team promptly.
Wisdom teeth often become impacted or misaligned, leading to pain, crowding, or infection. Our office provides gentle, expert extraction with local anesthesia or sedation, ensuring a smooth and safe experience.
When teeth are severely decayed or broken below the gumline, surgical removal is necessary. We use minimally invasive techniques to protect surrounding tissues and promote faster healing.
Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. Using guided implant placement, we position titanium posts into the jawbone to support custom restorations that function and feel like natural teeth.
Bone grafts rebuild lost jawbone to make implant placement possible. We use biocompatible materials and advanced grafting techniques to encourage natural bone regeneration.
For patients needing implants in the upper molar area, a sinus lift may be necessary. This procedure elevates the sinus membrane and adds bone to create a solid foundation for implants.
Suspicious oral lesions, cysts, or chronic sores may require surgical evaluation. We perform oral biopsies and send tissue samples to pathology labs to rule out oral cancer or other diseases.
Recovery typically ranges from 3–10 days depending on the procedure.
Wisdom tooth extractions can feel intimidating, but at Dental Arts of Florida, we make the experience as stress-free as possible with safe, effective sedation options.
Our most popular choice, oral sedation, requires no needles. You’ll simply take a pill 30–60 minutes before your procedure to help you stay calm and relaxed throughout. It's FDA-approved, carefully monitored, and ideal for patients with dental anxiety.
Sedation also helps minimize movement or panic during surgery, ensuring a smoother, safer procedure. Combined with local anesthesia, it allows for a pain-free and comfortable extraction experience.
At Dental Arts of Florida, we offer expert oral surgery with a patient-first philosophy, modern technology, and a commitment to making care accessible and comfortable for everyone.
