Oral Surgery

If you suffer from serious oral health problems that can only be resolved surgically, we offer a range of oral surgery options that can help you restore your dental health and your beautiful smile.

For any surgical procedure, a consultation to discuss the procedure and sedation options will be scheduled prior to treatment. There are several different sedation options available to improve your comfort level through the procedure. 

Some of our most common oral surgery procedures include:

  • Wisdom Tooth Removal
  • Gum surgery
  • Extractions
  • Oral Biopsies

Impacted Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are the last teeth to become fully developed. When the wisdom teeth do begin to emerge, they often become impacted—trapped beneath the gums—because there is little room for them to grow in properly.

In cases such as this, we may need to perform a surgical procedure to extract these teeth before they cause serious pain and damage to surrounding teeth.

 

Gum Surgery

In cases of intermediate to advanced gum disease, we may recommend surgical procedures to halt and to reverse damage. This may consist of one or both of the following procedures:

Gum Surgery — In this procedure, the gums are gently pushed back so the root of the tooth can be thoroughly cleaned and surfaced to prevent further damage.

Bone Grafting — In this procedure, damaged and depleted jawbones can be reinforced and strengthened using bone graft procedures.

Gum Grafting — In this procedure, areas of damaged and receded gum tissue can be replaced using gum graft procedures.

To learn more about our surgical and non-surgical gum treatments, see our Gum Treatment page.

Oral Biopsies

A thorough inspection of the oral cavity is a part of our comprehensive and recall examinations.  A biopsy may be necessary for abnormal oral tissue spots, lumps, and bumps that cannot be diagnosed on the basis of the history and clinical findings alone. A biopsy procedure will determine the cause of the abnormal oral tissue by providing a tissue sample to a medical or dental pathologist for microscopic analysis.

" What Our Patients Say About Us "

Such a refreshing experience with Innisfail Family Dental. Everyone was so pleasant to deal with and Dr Champney took the time to sit with me and thoroughly go through all my X rays and questions I had. I felt so comfortable and heard. Thank you. My entire family will be going here.

As always, we had another great visit with Dr. Champney and his team. They have been taking care of my family for 8 years, and we'll never switch. Everyone is friendly, personable and are great with my kids, since they were little and now into their teens. Dr. Champney takes the time to do things right and makes sure we are comfortable at our visits. Would absolutely recommend.

Innisfail Family Dental is very clean, the staff is great, friendly and reassuring. Dr Champney is friendly and explains the work to be done and what to expect. The fillings were done quickly and painlessly.

100% recommend coming here. Excellent communication from everyone and extremely accommodating, even with a toddler and baby in tow. Very good and patient with children getting their teeth checked too! Was unlike any other dentist experience ever before, and felt truly listened to and had all their attention during the appointment.

I always dread deep cleaning but wow this was the most painless one I've ever had. The hygienist is super supportive and sensitive to needs. I would highly recommend this dental clinic.

We have been with Innisfail Family Dental from the time we moved here in 2010. The staff has always been friendly and helpful and Dr. Champney has always been thorough and honest with us. All of my children have had their wisdom teeth removed at the clinic and we have had zero complications. The office follows the dental fee guide and if we’ve ever had a concern with service or fees they were quick to come to a resolution. Keep up the great work!
