Common Oral Surgery Procedures

Oral surgery encompasses a variety of specialized procedures designed to treat conditions affecting your teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding tissues. These treatments go beyond routine dental care to address complex issues that impact your comfort, appearance, and overall health.

Tooth Extractions: Gentle, Expert Care When You Need It Most

Sometimes, saving a tooth isn’t possible, and that’s when a safe, professional extraction becomes the best step toward protecting your overall oral health. At Roman Dental Arts, we offer both simple and surgical tooth extractions, including minor wisdom tooth removal, all performed with your comfort as our top priority.

  • Simple extractions are used for teeth that are fully visible above the gum line and can be removed with minimal intervention.
  • Surgical extractions are necessary for teeth that are impacted, broken, or not easily accessible—such as partially erupted wisdom teeth.

No matter the complexity, our gentle, precise approach ensures a smooth experience and promotes faster healing. We’re here to guide you every step of the way, so you can move forward with confidence and comfort. Experiencing tooth pain or need an evaluation? Contact us today to schedule your consultation.

Dental Implants: The Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement

Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring not just your smile but your confidence and quality of life. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, implants replace both the root and crown of a tooth, offering unmatched stability and function.

The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it undergoes osseointegration—a process in which the implant fuses with the bone to create a secure, long-lasting foundation. Once healed, a custom crown is attached, completing the restoration.

Why Patients Choose Dental Implants:

  • Natural Look & Feel – Implants mimic the appearance and function of real teeth.
  • Long-Lasting Solution – With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
  • Improved Chewing & Speaking – Eat your favorite foods and speak clearly without worry.
  • Preserves Jawbone Health – Prevents bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth.
  • No Impact on Adjacent Teeth – Unlike bridges, implants don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support.
  • Boosts Confidence – Enjoy a complete, confident smile that feels like your own.

At Roman Dental Arts, we use advanced technology and a personalized approach to ensure your implant journey is smooth, successful, and comfortable from start to finish. Ready to reclaim your smile? Book your dental implant consultation today and take the first step toward lasting oral health.

Pinhole Gum Surgery: A Gentle Solution for Receding Gums

Gum recession can expose the roots of your teeth, leading to increased sensitivity and a higher risk of decay and requiring cosmetic dental procedures. Pinhole Gum Surgery offers a breakthrough, minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum grafting—without the need for scalpels, sutures, or extensive downtime.

Using a specialized technique, we create tiny pinholes in the gum tissue and gently reposition it to cover exposed roots. This innovative approach:

  • Eliminates the need for incisions or stitches
  • Reduces discomfort during and after the procedure
  • Promotes faster healing and minimal recovery time
  • Delivers natural-looking, long-lasting results

At Roman Dental Arts in Hackensack, we’re proud to offer this advanced treatment to help restore your gum health, protect your teeth, and enhance your smile—all with a gentle touch.

Schedule a consultation today to see if Pinhole Gum Surgery is right for you.

Other Surgical Techniques 

Our surgical capabilities extend to specialized procedures that address complex oral health issues requiring advanced techniques and precision.

Crown Lengthening: Reveal a Healthier, More Balanced Smile

Crown lengthening is a precise surgical procedure that removes excess gum tissue and sometimes bone—to expose more of the natural tooth structure. This treatment is often necessary before placing a crown on a damaged or decayed tooth, ensuring a secure and lasting fit.  By reshaping the gum line, crown lengthening creates a more balanced, attractive appearance while improving oral function.

Benefits include:

  • Improved aesthetics and smile symmetry
  • Better access for restorative treatments
  • Enhanced oral hygiene and gum health

Dental Trauma Surgery: Emergency Care When Every Second Counts

Dental trauma from accidents, sports injuries, or falls can cause serious damage to teeth, jawbones, and soft tissues. When dental emergencies arise, immediate attention is critical, and at Roman Dental Arts, we’re equipped to provide prompt, expert care when you need it most.

Whether it’s a fractured tooth, a displaced tooth, or a gum injury, our team acts quickly to stabilize the area, relieve pain, and preserve your natural teeth whenever possible.

Immediate care matters for the following reasons:

  • Increases the chance of saving injured teeth
  • Reduces long-term complications
  • Promotes faster healing and recovery

Bone Grafting: Building a Strong Foundation for Dental Health

When the jawbone lacks the density or volume needed to support a dental implant, bone grafting becomes essential. This procedure uses specialized grafting materials to rebuild and strengthen the bone, creating a stable foundation for future implant placement.

Over the following months, your body naturally integrates the graft material, forming new bone that supports long-term implant success.

Key benefits of bone grafting include the following:

  • Enables successful dental implant placement
  • Restores facial structure and jawbone integrity
  • Prevents further bone loss after tooth loss

Getting Ready for Your Procedure: What You Can Expect

At Roman Dental Arts, we believe that feeling informed and comfortable is just as important as the procedure itself. Before your surgery, we’ll take the time to get to know you, starting with a detailed examination that may include X-rays or 3D imaging. This helps us plan your treatment with precision. We’ll also review your medical history and current medications to make sure everything is safe and tailored to your needs.

You’ll receive clear pre-op instructions, which might include changes to your diet and medications, or even arranging a ride home. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.

During Your Procedure

Your comfort is our top priority. Depending on your procedure, we’ll discuss the best anesthesia options for you—whether it’s local numbing or “Laughing Gas.” Throughout the surgery, our team will be by your side, monitoring you closely and explaining what’s happening so you feel calm and confident.

We use advanced techniques and modern equipment at our Hackensack office to make your experience as smooth and gentle as possible. Once your procedure is complete, we’ll walk you through the first 24 hours of care and make sure you have everything you need, including emergency contact info and a follow-up plan.

Healing and Aftercare

Recovery is a team effort, and we’re with you the whole way. You’ll get personalized aftercare instructions based on your specific procedure. Most patients feel some discomfort at first, but it usually improves quickly with the right care and medication.

Some swelling is normal, and we’ll show you how to manage it with simple steps, like using ice packs. We’ll also guide you on what to eat and how to keep your mouth clean without disturbing the healing area. And, of course, we’ll check in with you during follow-up visits to make sure everything’s healing just right.
