Oral Surgery Treatments We Offer
Grace TMJ & Urgent Dental Care provides a full scope of oral surgical procedures, all performed with a focus on minimizing discomfort and promoting fast, healthy healing. Our providers are experienced in both routine and complex surgeries, and we offer sedation options for maximum patient comfort.
Some of the most common oral surgeries we perform include:
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
We remove impacted or problematic third molars to prevent pain, infection, or crowding.
Tooth Extractions
Severely damaged or decayed teeth may need to be removed to protect your overall oral health.
Dental Implant Surgery
We place titanium implants to serve as strong, permanent foundations for replacement teeth.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafts restore jawbone density, making patients eligible for implants or rebuilding structural support.
TMJ Surgery
For patients with severe jaw joint dysfunction, we offer surgical options to restore mobility and reduce pain.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Removal of oral lesions, biopsies, or treatment of gum conditions when surgical intervention is required.
Each procedure is backed by a clear recovery plan, attentive follow-up care, and education to help you heal fully and confidently.

You may be a candidate for oral surgery if you:
- Have a dental condition that cannot be treated with general care alone
- Experience chronic jaw pain or difficulty chewing
- Need teeth removed due to overcrowding or infection
- Require preparation for dental implants or orthodontic work
- Have a jawbone or tissue issue that affects your oral function or appearance
