Surgical & Specialty
Oral Surgery
From extractions to implant placement, surgical care planned and performed with precision.
Some dental issues call for a surgical solution — a tooth that can't be saved, an implant that needs placing, or a procedure to prepare your mouth for future treatment. We plan every surgical case carefully with detailed imaging beforehand.
Dr. Shah walks you through exactly what to expect, so there are no surprises on the day of your procedure.
Procedures we can help with
Oral surgery covers procedures that go beyond a routine filling or cleaning. At Avora Dental, that includes surgical care such as extractions (including wisdom teeth), dental implant placement, and procedures that prepare your mouth for future treatment. Dr. Shah reviews every case personally.
Careful planning comes first
Good surgical outcomes start before the procedure. We use detailed imaging, including 3D imaging when it helps, to see your bone, nerves, and neighboring teeth, and we plan the procedure in advance. Then we walk you through the steps, the recovery, and the cost, so there are no surprises on the day.
Comfort during and after
We numb the area thoroughly and talk with you beforehand about your comfort options. Afterward you'll get written aftercare instructions and a way to reach us if you have questions. Most people manage recovery well when they follow those instructions.
We try to save teeth first
Extraction is sometimes the right answer, but we don't reach for it first. When a tooth can be saved with a filling, crown, or root canal, we'll tell you so. When it can't, we'll explain why and go over your options for replacing it.
