Oral Surgery and Post-Operative Patient Care
Sometimes our patients are in need of extractions, surgical extractions, an alveoloplasty, or bone grafting
in order to reach optimal oral health and functionality.
Noor Family Dentistry performs these procedures regularly and safely, ensuring the
best possible comfort level and outcome for our patients.

Alveoloplasty
An alveoloplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes and smooths out the jaw where a tooth or teeth have been extracted or lost. The part of the jawbone that houses the teeth is called the alveolus, and “plasty” means molding, so alveoloplasty is the process of molding or reshaping the jaw.
Extractions and Surgical Extractions
A dental extraction is the removal of teeth from the dental alveolus (socket) in the alveolar bone. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, but most commonly to remove teeth which have become unrestorable through tooth decay, periodontal disease, or dental trauma, especially when they are associated with toothache. Extractions can be preformed surgically depending on the extent of the case.
Implant Restorations
Dental implants are composed of three pieces: a small screw made of titanium, an abutment that connects the screw and the final restoration, and the final restoration. The screw, which is placed in the jawbone, acts as a replacement for the tooth root, providing a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth. The screw begins to fuse with the bone over the course of a few months. After the fusing process, the abutment is inserted into the screw to allow for the permanent attachment of the restoration.
As you discuss your treatment plan with your dentist, they can recommend the best periodontal option for you.
