Surgical Care That Focuses on Comfort, Safety, and Clarity
Oral surgery can feel intimidating, especially if you’re already in pain. At Alachua Dental, we keep the process simple to follow, explain what’s happening in plain language, and focus on a smoother experience from evaluation through healing.
Our oral surgery services include extractions and bone grafting.
What Your Checkup Covers
A Clear Plan Before Anything Begins
Before starting any treatment, we evaluate the tooth, the surrounding bone, and your overall oral health to recommend the safest approach. If multiple options exist, such as saving a tooth versus removing it, we will walk you through what each path involves and explain why one may be the better long-term decision for your health.
Modern Imaging and Planning
Surgical planning works best when the information is detailed. Advanced imaging helps us evaluate anatomy more accurately, which supports safer planning and fewer surprises during treatment.
Post-Op Guidance That Helps You Heal Well
Most complications happen after patients leave the office because they’re unsure what’s normal. We set expectations, review aftercare clearly, and make sure you know how to protect healing, manage discomfort, and recognize when to call us.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does recovery take?
Healing timelines vary by procedure and patient health. We’ll explain what to expect based on your specific treatment.
Will my gums go back to normal after treatment?
Many patients see reduced bleeding and swelling, but results depend on severity and home care. The goal is to stabilize gum health and prevent progression.
How long does gum treatment take?
It depends on how much buildup is present and how many areas need treatment. We’ll outline your plan and timing after your evaluation.
When should I contact the office after surgery?
If pain worsens instead of improving, swelling increases, or something doesn’t feel right, contact us so we can guide you on next steps.
Do bleeding gums always mean gum disease?
Not always, but bleeding is a sign that gums are irritated and should be evaluated. Early treatment is often simpler.
Can you replace the tooth after an extraction?
Yes. Depending on your needs, options may include a bridge, denture, or implant planning.
What if I’m nervous about oral surgery?
That’s common. We’ll explain each step ahead of time, move at a calm pace, and make sure you feel informed before we begin.
What should I avoid after an extraction?
We’ll provide detailed instructions, but common restrictions include avoiding actions that disrupt clotting and healing. Following aftercare is key to preventing complications.
Will the procedure hurt?
Treatment is done with local anesthesia to numb the area. Afterward, some soreness is normal, and we’ll review how to manage it.
Is bone grafting always required after an extraction?
Not always. It depends on bone levels, tooth location, and whether you may want an implant or other restoration later.
What does bone grafting help with?
Bone grafting can help preserve or rebuild bone to support future tooth replacement and long-term stability.
How do I know if I need a tooth extraction?
If a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or cannot be restored predictably, extraction may be recommended. We’ll confirm this with an exam and imaging.
