Oral Surgery in Rittenhouse Square

When Is Oral Surgery Needed?

Oral surgery is often necessary when a dental issue extends below the gum line or affects the jawbone, nerves, or sinus cavities. You may need oral surgery if you’re experiencing:

• Tooth decay that extends beneath the gum line
  
  
• Infection or abscess that can't be treated with root canal therapy
  
  
• Broken or impacted teeth
  
  
• Bone loss before dental implant placement
  
  
• Jaw or gum tissue reshaping for restorative or cosmetic procedures
  
  
• Sinus lift or ridge augmentation
  
  

We’ll always explore conservative options first. If oral surgery is recommended, you’ll receive a detailed treatment plan and a clear explanation of the process ahead.
