Surgical Treatments in New York, NY

When dental problems cannot be resolved with routine restorative care alone, surgical treatment may be needed to protect your oral health, relieve discomfort, or restore function. At L.E.S. Dental Group, we provide personalized surgical treatments in New York, NY, based on each patient’s specific dental needs.
​​​​​​​

Our approach begins with a thorough evaluation so we can determine the most appropriate treatment and explain what to expect before moving forward.

When Is Dental Surgery Necessary?

Dental surgery may be recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, an infection threatens surrounding tissues, a wisdom tooth becomes impacted, or additional support is needed for dental implants. Surgical care can also address problems involving the gums, jawbone, or missing teeth.

Our goal is always to preserve healthy teeth and tissues whenever possible. When surgery is the appropriate option, we create a treatment plan focused on restoring oral health while keeping patients informed throughout the process.

Surgical Treatments We Provide

Depending on your diagnosis and treatment goals, surgical dental care may include:

• Tooth extractions and surgical extractions

• Wisdom teeth removal

• Dental implant placement

• Bone grafting to strengthen areas of the jaw

• Gum and soft tissue procedures

• Sinus lift procedures for implant preparation
  
  

Each treatment serves a different purpose, which is why a comprehensive dental examination is important before recommending surgery.

Tooth Extractions And Wisdom Teeth Removal

An extraction may be necessary when a tooth has extensive decay, severe damage, advanced infection, or other problems that make saving it impractical. Wisdom teeth may also require removal when they become impacted or contribute to pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth.

For patients in New York, NY, we carefully evaluate the condition and position of the tooth before determining whether a simple or surgical extraction is appropriate.

Dental Implant Surgery And Bone Grafting

Dental implants provide a stable way to replace missing teeth by placing an implant into the jawbone to support a future restoration. In some cases, there may not be enough healthy bone to provide adequate implant support.

Bone grafting can help rebuild or strengthen the jawbone before implant placement. Dr. Michael Gitlin has completed training in bone and soft tissue grafting, allowing us to incorporate these procedures into personalized implant treatment planning when appropriate.

What To Expect From Surgical Dental Care

Before treatment, we will review your oral health, medical history, imaging, and treatment options. We will also discuss preparation, recovery, and aftercare instructions so you know what to expect.

Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Following post-treatment instructions, maintaining good oral hygiene, and attending recommended follow-up visits can help support proper healing.
