Among the types of dental treatment available, oral surgery is one of the most common and necessary. Despite being quite a serious oral procedure, there are reasons to feel positive about oral surgery. Surgical procedures, like wisdom tooth extractions and bone grafts, can prevent further oral health problems.
Clover Hills Dentistry proudly serves the Mission, TX, area with quality dental services. Dr. Alexander Ochoa Falla and Dr. Jo-Ann Collantes perform oral surgery for patients of all ages that need to regain control of their dental health. Our team is passionate about providing the highest level of care for all our patients, ensuring you receive the best service every time.
Oral surgery is a beneficial service for maintaining oral health and wellness. From tooth extractions to bone grafting, oral surgery provides multiple services that can benefit oral health.
For instance, tooth extractions remove teeth that are severely decayed or beyond repair and may put surrounding teeth at risk. Also, removing impacted wisdom teeth before they start problems is a popular way to prevent wisdom tooth pain and infections. By utilizing oral surgery as a preventative measure for oral health, more severe effects of oral issues can be avoided in the future.
Another dental oral surgery service that we offer is bone grafting. Unlike tooth extractions that remove matter from the mouth, bone grafting adds material to help support the jawbone, prevent further damage, and mend bone loss due to periodontal disease, trauma, or missing teeth. Additionally, bone grafting may be necessary to support a dental implant, restoring structural integrity to the jawline and promoting successful integration of the new tooth.
Overall, oral surgery has benefits and reasons for its use in maintaining oral health and, most importantly, peace of mind for the patient.

While it’s normal to have some discomfort or swelling after oral surgery, a bone grafting session or a wisdom tooth extraction should feel comfortable because we numb our patients before starting oral surgery.
If you’re undergoing oral sedation or general anesthesia, we do not recommend driving after oral surgery. For most, we ask oral surgery patients to bring a responsible adult to drive them home.
