Our Dental Surgery Services
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes tooth removal is the best option for your oral health. We perform both simple and surgical extractions with gentle technique and appropriate anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort.
Common reasons for extraction include:
- Severe decay beyond repair
- Advanced periodontal disease
- Crowded teeth requiring orthodontic space
- Fractured or broken teeth
- Failed root canal treatment
- Preparation for dentures
Our Westboro team uses minimally invasive techniques that preserve bone and surrounding tissue whenever possible, optimizing healing and future treatment options.

Wisdom Teeth Removal
Third molars (wisdom teeth) often require removal due to impaction, crowding, or difficulty maintaining hygiene. We safely remove wisdom teeth at all stages of development, from fully erupted to deeply impacted.
Signs you may need wisdom teeth removed:
- Pain or swelling in the back of your jaw
- Difficulty opening your mouth fully
- Gum infection around partially erupted teeth
- Damage to adjacent teeth
- Cyst development around impacted teeth
Early evaluation can identify potential problems before they cause symptoms.
Dental Implant Surgery
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. We perform precise implant placement using 3D-guided surgery technology for optimal positioning and long-term success.
Our implant services include:
- Single tooth implants
- Multiple tooth implants
- Implant-supported bridges
- All-on-4 full arch restoration
- Mini implants for denture stability

Bone Grafting
When jaw bone has been lost due to extraction, disease, or trauma, bone grafting rebuilds the foundation needed for implants or other treatment. We offer various grafting techniques including:
- Socket preservation after extraction
- Ridge augmentation for implant preparation
- Sinus lift procedures
- Block bone grafts for significant defects

Gum Grafting
Gum recession exposes tooth roots, causing sensitivity and aesthetic concerns. Gum grafting restores the protective tissue covering, reduces sensitivity, and improves smile appearance.
Periodontal Surgery
Advanced gum disease may require surgical intervention to restore health. For complex periodontal procedures, we can refer you to a periodontist. We offer:
- Crown lengthening
- Gum grafts

Surgical Root Canals (Apicoectomy)
When standard root canal treatment is unsuccessful or not possible, apicoectomy surgically removes the root tip and surrounding infected tissue, saving the tooth.

Frenectomy
A frenectomy removes or modifies the small tissue attachment (frenum) between the lip and gums or under the tongue. This procedure addresses:
- Tongue-tie in infants and children
- Lip-tie affecting speech or eating
- Frenum pulling on gums causing recession
- Interference with denture fit
Biopsy and Lesion Removal
Suspicious oral lesions require evaluation. We perform biopsies for diagnostic purposes and remove benign growths when indicated.
Advanced Technology for Better Outcomes
At BluSky Dental Holland Cross, we invest in technology that improves surgical precision, comfort, and outcomes.
3D CBCT Imaging
Cone beam computed tomography provides detailed 3D views of your jaw, teeth, nerves, and sinuses. This allows us to:
- Plan surgeries with exceptional precision
- Identify anatomical variations before surgery
- Place implants in optimal positions
- Reduce surprises during procedures

Digital Surgical Guides
For implant surgery, we create custom surgical guides using your 3D imaging data. These guides ensure:
- Precise implant placement matching your treatment plan
- Shorter surgery times
- Reduced invasiveness
- Better long-term outcomes

Piezoelectric Surgery
This ultrasonic cutting technology allows precise bone modification while protecting soft tissues, nerves, and blood vessels. Benefits include:
- Reduced tissue trauma
- Less post-operative swelling
- Faster healing
- Safer procedures near nerves
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
We may use your own blood to create PRF—a concentrated healing matrix that accelerates recovery and improves outcomes when placed at surgical sites.
Sedation Options for Your Comfort
We understand that dental surgery can cause anxiety. Our sedation options ensure you remain comfortable throughout your procedure.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
This mild sedative provides relaxation while allowing you to remain awake and responsive. You recover quickly and can often drive yourself home.
Oral Sedation
Prescription medication taken before your appointment produces deeper relaxation. You'll feel drowsy and may not remember much of the procedure. Transportation is required.
IV Sedation
For maximum comfort during complex procedures, IV sedation provides deep relaxation. You'll be closely monitored throughout and won't remember the procedure. Transportation and recovery monitoring are required.
Our Westboro team discusses your anxiety level and procedure requirements to recommend the best sedation option for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not all dental problems require surgery. We always explore conservative options first. Surgery is recommended when conditions can't be adequately treated non-surgically, when teeth can't be saved, or when reconstruction is needed. During your consultation, we explain all options and why surgery may be beneficial.
This depends on the procedure and your preference. Many procedures are performed with local anesthesia while you're fully awake. Sedation options allow you to be deeply relaxed or unconscious during surgery. We discuss the best approach for your situation.
Costs vary significantly depending on the procedure's complexity. During your consultation, we provide detailed cost estimates and discuss insurance coverage and payment options. Many surgical procedures are partially covered by dental insurance.
This depends on your procedure and job requirements. Many patients return to desk work the day after simple extractions. More complex surgeries may require several days off, especially if your job involves physical activity or extensive speaking.
Delaying necessary surgery can allow conditions to worsen. Infections can spread, bone loss can progress, and dental problems can become more complex and costly to treat. We help you understand the risks of waiting versus proceeding with recommended treatment.
