Get Expert Surgical Care

Dr. Koo is trained to perform several types of surgical procedures right here in our office. You won't have to drive all over the area looking for another dentist.

We'll always try to save your natural tooth when possible, but a badly diseased or damaged tooth may require gentle removal to stop your pain and protect your other teeth.

Sometimes wisdom teeth are impacted, cause crowding, or come in crooked. When this happens, we can safely remove them to prevent damage to your other teeth and prevent future problems.

Dr. Koo can perform a bone graft to prepare your jaw for dental implants. If your jaw is too soft or thin for implants, he can use a special material to stimulate new bone growth and restore your jawbone to its proper size and strength.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Surgery

Can oral surgery cause bad breath?
It's often difficult to thoroughly clean your teeth for a few days following a tooth extraction or similar surgery since you'll need to avoid the extraction site when brushing and flossing. More bacteria than usual may accumulate during this time, which can cause bad breath. Your breath should freshen when you resume your normal oral hygiene routine. Let us know if bad breath lingers, as it can be a sign of a problem.
Will oral surgery hurt?
We numb your mouth with local anesthesia prior to oral surgery, so you shouldn't feel any discomfort. You can also receive nitrous oxide sedation during your procedure. It will make you less conscious of sensations, including sights and sounds, and helps you remain relaxed throughout your treatment. We often recommend sedation for longer procedures, such as wisdom teeth removal.
What foods can I have after oral surgery?
For best results, we suggest consuming mostly bland, soft foods for a few days. Soup (not too hot), yogurt, smoothies, and eggs are all good choices. Avoid sucking through a straw, which can cause dry socket or other problems. Also avoid foods with seeds that can irritate your extraction site.
