Comprehensive Oral Surgery Services in Adrian

At Michigan Oral Surgeons, we perform a broad scope of procedures for patients of all ages. Our surgeons are experts in managing conditions relating to the mouth, teeth, jaws, and facial regions. Below are some of the key services available at our Adrian location.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants provide a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Whether you are missing a single tooth or need a full-arch restoration, our team specializes in dental implants in Adrian.

We invite you to read stories from our patients, such as Charles or Steve, to understand how implants can transform your quality of life. For answers to common concerns, please view our Dental Implants FAQ.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often cause issues such as crowding, impaction, and infection. We recommend early evaluation, typically in the mid-to-late teens, to determine if removal is necessary. Our surgeons are highly skilled in wisdom teeth removal, prioritizing patient comfort through advanced anesthesia options.

To learn more about the experience, you can watch patient stories from Maya or Julene. If you live in the area, you might relate to Silas from Tecumseh, who had a positive extraction experience with our team.

All-On-4® Treatment Concept

For patients requiring full-arch restoration, we offer the All-on-4® treatment concept. This revolutionary procedure allows for a full set of fixed teeth to be supported by just four dental implants, often completed in a single day. This is an excellent option for patients looking to avoid the hassle of removable dentures.

Bone Grafting

Over time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies or is reabsorbed. This often leaves a condition of poor quality and quantity of bone suitable for placement of dental implants. We perform bone grafting to repair implant sites with inadequate bone structure, ensuring your implants have a solid foundation.

Corrective and Reconstructive Procedures

Our scope of practice extends beyond tooth replacement. We are equipped to handle complex cases including:

  • Facial Trauma: Treatment of facial lacerations, set fractured jaws, and repair damaged facial bones.
  • Impacted Tooth Exposure: Helping guided eruption of impacted canines to align the bite.
  • Oral Pathology: Identification and management of diseases affecting the oral and maxillofacial regions.
  • Pre-Prosthetic Surgery: Preparing the mouth before the placement of a prosthesis.
  • Apicoectomy: Surgical procedure to save a tooth with a persistent infection after a root canal.
  • General Tooth Extraction: Safe removal of damaged or decayed teeth.

Types of Anesthesia

There are three main types of anesthesia that we use at our practice:

Local

Local anesthesia is commonly used for minor oral surgical procedures such as simple dental extractions, single dental implant placement, or small soft tissue biopsies in the mouth. Local anesthetic only affects the site to be worked on.

IV Sedation

IV sedation is administered directly into the patient’s vein. The medications act to give the patient a combination of tranquility, sedation, and amnesia. The amount and type of medication given will determine the depth of anesthesia. This technique is most commonly used during the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, extensive dental implant surgery, or any surgical treatment that is more complex.

Nitrous Oxide

This is commonly known as laughing gas. This is a mild sedative that is administered through inhalation. It is commonly used in young children and is always accompanied by a local anesthetic injection in the area to be treated. After the treatment is completed, the patient will breathe some oxygen for a few minutes, and the sedative effects of the gas will dissipate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most people have or will have experienced wisdom teeth removal at some point in their life. Your dentist will monitor the growth and development of your wisdom teeth and refer you to an oral surgeon if they have determined removal is in the best interest of your oral health.
In general, wisdom teeth are removed some time during the early to mid-teen years, although some patients may require treatment outside of this range. The surgical procedure and recovery tend to be easier in younger patients.
Common complications of wisdom teeth include pain, infection, dental shifting, bite alignment problems, cysts and tumors, and more.
All surgery carries some degree of discomfort. It is our job as specialists and our mission as compassionate providers to make every effort to minimize this discomfort throughout the procedure and recovery process. We offer several forms of anesthesia to keep you comfortable during surgery and will send you home with post-operative instructions to optimize your healing.Let our office know right away if you are experiencing severe pain, swelling, or bleeding after surgery.
