Oral surgery may sound complex, but in many cases, it’s the best solution to restore comfort, function, and long-term oral health. At Arlington Dental Excellence, we help patients who need surgical care to address pain, infection, or functional problems.
You might be an ideal candidate for oral surgery in Arlington, VA if you experience any of the following:
When wisdom teeth don’t have enough space to erupt properly, they can become impacted, causing swelling, pain, or infection. In such cases, wisdom tooth extraction prevents future complications and preserves your oral health.
If you’ve lost one or more teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease, dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking replacement that restores your smile's function and appearance.
Teeth that are beyond repair with fillings, crowns, or root canals often need to be removed through a safe and precise tooth extraction procedure. Extraction prevents infection from spreading and paves the way for future restorations like implants or bridges.
When teeth are missing for an extended period, the jawbone begins to deteriorate. Bone grafting is a common oral surgery procedure that rebuilds lost bone structure, making it possible to place implants or restore facial balance.
Patients with significant jaw misalignment or chronic bite issues may benefit from orthognathic (jaw) surgery. This procedure corrects the alignment of your jaws, improving chewing, speaking, and overall facial symmetry.
Unusual growths, cysts, or persistent oral infections may require oral pathology and biopsy to diagnose and treat potentially serious conditions. Early intervention helps prevent complications and ensures long-term oral health.
Ongoing dental pain, even without visible decay, can signal underlying issues in the roots, gums, or jawbone. In such cases, oral surgery helps identify and correct the source of pain, offering lasting relief.
If you have any of these concerns, our experienced surgical team at Arlington Dental Excellence can provide the right treatment to restore your comfort, function, and confidence.
At Arlington Dental Excellence, we provide advanced oral surgery solutions focused on restoring health, comfort, and confidence. Each treatment is performed with precision and care, using modern techniques and technology to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Wisdom teeth often emerge improperly or become trapped beneath the gums, leading to pain, infection, or misalignment. Our gentle wisdom tooth extraction eliminates discomfort and prevents potential damage to surrounding teeth and gums.
Ideal For: Patients experiencing swelling, pain, or crowding due to impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth.
Dental implants are the most reliable, permanent replacement for missing teeth. The titanium post integrates with your jawbone to act as a tooth root, providing a stable foundation for a crown or bridge that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
Ideal For: Individuals missing one or more teeth who want a durable, natural-looking restoration.
A tooth extraction may be the best solution when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or infected beyond repair. We use advanced techniques to ensure a quick, safe, and comfortable procedure, reducing pain and preventing future complications.
Ideal For: Patients with broken, infected, or non-restorable teeth causing pain or swelling.
Bone grafting is used to rebuild areas of the jaw where bone loss has occurred due to missing teeth or gum disease. The procedure strengthens and regenerates bone tissue, creating a strong foundation for dental implants and improving facial structure.
Ideal For: Patients with bone loss who plan to receive dental implants or want to restore jaw stability.
Jaw surgery corrects misaligned jaws and bite irregularities that affect chewing, speaking, and facial balance. This procedure improves function and aesthetics, restoring harmony between the upper and lower jaws.
Ideal For: Patients with chronic jaw pain, bite problems, or difficulty chewing or speaking.
Oral pathology and biopsy procedures are essential for diagnosing unusual growths, cysts, or lesions in the mouth. Early detection allows for timely treatment, helping prevent serious oral health issues.
Ideal For: Individuals noticing lumps, persistent sores, or discolorations in their mouth that require professional evaluation.

You may need oral surgery if you have impacted wisdom teeth, severe tooth decay, jaw pain, missing teeth, or bone loss. A consultation and X-rays will help determine if surgery is necessary.
No, oral surgery is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, ensuring a pain-free experience. Mild soreness afterward is normal and manageable with prescribed medications.
The length of the procedure depends on the type of surgery. Simple extractions take 30–60 minutes, while more complex procedures like dental implants or bone grafts may take 1–2 hours.
Most patients recover within 3–7 days after minor surgeries. Full recovery can take up to 2–3 weeks for more complex procedures. Your dentist will provide a personalized recovery timeline.
If you receive sedation or general anesthesia, arrange for someone to drive you home. For minor procedures using local anesthesia, you can drive yourself.
Avoid hard, sticky, spicy, or hot foods for several days. Choose soft, cool foods and gradually return to your normal diet as healing progresses.
Follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions carefully. Keep the area clean, avoid touching the surgical site, and take prescribed antibiotics if recommended.
Certain oral surgeries, such as bite correction or joint alignment procedures, can relieve chronic jaw pain and improve overall function.
Contact us if you experience excessive bleeding, persistent pain, swelling that worsens after three days, or signs of infection such as fever or discharge.
