Oral Surgery encompasses a range of specialized surgical procedures performed on the teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues of the mouth. This area of dentistry is critical for treating complex issues that extend beyond standard general care, such as impacted teeth, jaw bone defects, and preparatory work for restorations. At Prime Smile Dental, our skilled team performs many common oral surgery procedures with precision, utilizing advanced imaging and prioritizing patient comfort through effective pain management and sedation options.
Oral surgery involves diagnosis and surgical treatment of defects, injuries, and diseases of the mouth and jaw structure. Our in-office surgical services include:
Removes the source of severe, chronic infection (e.g., abscesses or impacted teeth) that non-surgical treatment cannot resolve.
Procedures like bone grafting and ridge augmentation create the necessary stable foundation for successful, long-lasting dental implants.
Proactive removal of impacted wisdom teeth prevents damage to adjacent healthy teeth and avoids severe inflammatory episodes.
Pre-prosthetic surgery (like reshaping the bone) ensures that dentures fit securely and comfortably, improving chewing function.
We ensure every surgical procedure is planned precisely and performed comfortably:
Step 1Advanced Diagnostics
Detailed examination and use of 3D CBCT imaging to assess bone structure, nerve location, and pathology, allowing for precise surgical planning.
Step 2Anesthesia and Sedation
The surgical site is thoroughly numbed with local anesthesia. We offer safe sedation options (Nitrous Oxide, Oral Sedation) to maximize patient relaxation and comfort during the procedure.
Step 3Surgical Procedure
The planned surgery is executed using sterile techniques and precision instrumentation. Minimally invasive methods are used whenever possible to ensure reduced trauma.
Step 4Post-Surgical Care
The site is cleaned and sutured. Comprehensive verbal and written post-operative instructions are provided, along with necessary prescriptions for pain management and antibiotics.
Step 5Follow-up:
A follow-up visit is scheduled to monitor healing and remove any non-dissolvable sutures.
Surgical intervention is indicated for patients requiring treatment beyond routine care, including:
Individuals needing surgical removal of problematic or deeply impacted wisdom teeth.
Those who require surgical placement of the implant fixture or preliminary procedures like bone grafting to support the implant.
Patients whose teeth are broken or infected below the gum line and must be surgically extracted.
Patients whose jaw ridges are uneven or sharp and require contouring (alveoloplasty) for comfortable denture wear.
The cost of oral surgery in Aurora depends on the type of procedure and how complex the case is. Oral surgery can include treatments such as tooth extractions, wisdom tooth removal, surgical extractions, and other procedures required to address infection, impacted teeth, or damaged tooth structure. Pricing can vary based on factors like the position of the tooth, root shape, the need for digital X-rays or other diagnostics, and whether the surgery is urgent due to pain or swelling.
At Prime Smile Dental in Aurora, Ontario, we begin with an exam and evaluation to confirm the safest approach. If imaging is needed, we explain why before proceeding. After your assessment, we provide a clear treatment plan and an estimate so you understand the expected costs and next steps. Our team can also help review your insurance or CDCP information and explain coverage considerations whenever possible.
Oral surgery at Prime Smile Dental is performed under the guidance of Dr. Shideh Khalilakbar, our lead dentist. Dr. Khalilakbar focuses on careful planning, patient comfort, and clear explanations throughout the process. Before recommending a surgical procedure, she reviews your symptoms, medical history, and diagnostic findings to ensure treatment is appropriate. You’ll receive detailed pre- and post-operative instructions to support healing and reduce complications.
Choosing a dental clinic is about more than services, it’s about feeling comfortable, informed, and confident in your care. At Prime Smile Dental in Aurora, we focus on clear communication, a calm environment, and consistent clinical standards for every patient.
We take time to listen to your concerns, explain findings in plain language, and walk you through treatment options so you can make informed decisions.
We accept CDCP and work with most dental insurance plans. Our team can help you understand coverage, billing, and expected costs before treatment whenever possible.
From a welcoming atmosphere to a gentle approach, our team works to make appointments feel calm and manageable—especially for patients who feel anxious about dental visits.
We use updated tools and thorough assessments to support accurate diagnosis and thoughtful treatment planning, with your long-term oral health in mind.
For minor procedures (simple extraction, minor biopsy), you may return to work the next day. For complex surgeries (multiple impacted wisdom teeth, bone grafting), 3 to 5 days of rest are typically recommended.
We offer Nitrous Oxide (minimal sedation) and Oral Sedation (moderate sedation) to keep you relaxed. For complex cases, we may coordinate with an external anesthesiologist for deeper IV sedation.
If the jawbone has insufficient width or height due to long-term tooth loss, bone grafting is essential to create a strong, stable foundation for the implant to successfully fuse (osseointegrate).
If you notice a lump, lesion, patch of discolored tissue, or sore in your mouth that does not heal within two weeks, it should be examined, and often biopsied, to rule out serious oral pathology.
