Oral Surgery encompasses a range of specialized procedures necessary to resolve complex dental issues, from the removal of impacted teeth to preparation for dental implants. At Dr 7 Family Dentistry, our experienced team provides comprehensive surgical care in a controlled, comfortable environment. We prioritize patient safety, use advanced diagnostic tools, and offer tailored sedation options to ensure a smooth, pain-free experience and the best possible outcome for your oral health.
Oral surgery involves diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, injuries, and defects involving the hard and soft tissues of the mouth, jaws, and face. Our in-house oral surgery services allow for integrated care and include:
Surgery quickly removes the source of severe infection (e.g., deep abscesses, infected roots), providing definitive relief from persistent pain.
Prophylactic removal of impacted wisdom teeth or preparation of the jawbone prevents serious issues like shifting teeth, nerve damage, and pathological growths (cysts/tumors).
Procedures like bone grafting are essential for rebuilding the jaw structure, ensuring dental implants can be placed successfully for long-term tooth replacement.
Having surgical expertise in our family practice means your entire treatment plan—from diagnosis to final restoration—is coordinated by a single, familiar team.
We meticulously plan every surgical procedure to ensure accuracy and patient well-being:
We use high-resolution 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scans to visualize bone density, nerve pathways, and the exact anatomy of the surgical site, minimizing risk.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. We offer customized sedation options (Nitrous Oxide, Oral Sedation, or IV Sedation) to ensure the patient is relaxed and comfortable throughout the surgery.
The necessary procedure (extraction, bone graft, implant placement, etc.) is performed using precise surgical techniques to minimize tissue trauma.
Detailed recovery instructions are provided, and the area may be closed with sutures. We prescribe necessary medications and ensure prompt follow-up to monitor healing and prevent complications.
Surgical intervention is recommended for patients presenting with:
Teeth, especially wisdom teeth, that are stuck beneath the gums or bone and are causing pain or infection.
Patients who require dental implants or bone grafting to create a stable base for future restorations.
Injuries affecting the teeth, jawbone, or soft tissues of the mouth (though severe trauma may require specialist referral).
Teeth that are fractured below the gum line or severely compromised by infection that cannot be treated by a root canal.
Oral surgery may be recommended for procedures such as tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, or other surgical dental treatments. The cost of oral surgery varies depending on the type of procedure, complexity, and whether sedation is required. Coverage differs by insurance plan.
Dr7 Family Dentistry accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) for eligible patients. Coverage for oral surgery under CDCP depends on clinical need and program guidelines. Our team will review your coverage and clearly explain any costs before treatment begins.
For patients without insurance or CDCP coverage, fees are discussed in advance based on the recommended treatment plan.

Recovery depends on the procedure. Simple extractions might require 1-2 days. Complex procedures like multiple wisdom tooth removals or major bone grafting may require 5-7 days of limited activity.
Bone grafting (socket preservation) is often recommended after tooth extraction if you plan on getting a dental implant later. It prevents bone collapse, which is necessary to anchor the implant properly.
No, but the timing is important. Wisdom teeth are often removed in young adulthood. Bone grafting and implant surgery can be successfully performed on healthy adults of all ages.
In most cases, no. Our practice is equipped and our dentists are highly experienced in performing the majority of required oral surgeries, including complex wisdom teeth removals, right here in the comfort of our office.
