Advanced Dentistry
Oral Surgery in Whitesboro, Texas
Oral surgery covers procedures in and around the mouth and jaw, including tooth extractions, impacted teeth, jaw alignment problems and facial injuries. At Main Street Dental Smiles, we handle complex cases with care and use current technology to improve results and shorten recovery.
For advanced surgical cases, Dr. Draper, a dual-degree oral and maxillofacial surgeon, sees patients right here in our office on a rotating schedule, so there is no need to travel to an unfamiliar practice.
Common Procedure
Tooth Extractions
We always try to keep your natural teeth, but sometimes removing one is the healthiest choice. Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common reasons, especially when third molars are impacted and put nearby teeth at risk. See also tooth extractions.
Common Procedure
Dental Implants
A titanium post placed in the jawbone becomes a solid foundation for a replacement tooth. Careful placement is followed by a restoration plan made for your smile. Learn more about dental implants.
