About oral surgery

Oral Surgery at Bensonhurst Dental Care

Oral surgery encompasses the surgical procedures performed within the mouth to address conditions that cannot be resolved through non-surgical treatment alone. At Bensonhurst Dental Care, oral surgery services are designed to be as comfortable and efficient as possible, with a focus on precise technique, thorough patient communication, and smooth recovery. Whether a tooth needs to be removed due to damage, disease, or crowding, the dental team approaches every surgical case with care and clinical expertise.

The practice provides a range of extraction services to address different levels of complexity. Simple extractions are performed on teeth that are visible and accessible in the mouth. Surgical extractions are required when a tooth is broken below the gumline, has not fully erupted, or presents anatomical challenges that make standard removal insufficient. Wisdom teeth extractions address the third molars, which frequently require removal due to impaction, crowding, or the risk of infection.

When a tooth must be removed, planning for what comes next is just as important as the extraction itself. The dental team at Bensonhurst Dental Care discusses replacement options before the procedure whenever possible, including dental implants, bridges, and other restorative solutions. In many cases, ridge preservation or socket preservation is performed at the time of extraction to protect the bone and keep future treatment options open. This forward-thinking approach ensures that patients are not just treated for today's problem but positioned for the best possible long-term outcome.
