Aesthetic Dental provides comprehensive oral surgery services focused on safety, comfort, and long-term oral health. Our experienced dental team serves patients throughout North Bergen, Hudson County, and nearby areas including Union City and New York City.

Oral surgery is sometimes necessary to relieve pain, treat infection, correct structural issues, or prepare for restorative or cosmetic dental treatment. At Aesthetic Dental, we take a conservative, evidence-based approach—recommending oral surgery only when it is the best option for your health and outcomes.

What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery refers to specialized dental procedures involving the teeth, gums, jawbone, and surrounding facial structures. These procedures go beyond routine dental care and often address complex conditions such as impacted teeth, jaw infections, bone loss, or trauma.

Our oral surgery services include:

  • Tooth extractions and surgical extractions
  • Wisdom tooth removal
  • Dental implant surgery
  • Bone grafting
  • Treatment of oral infections and abscesses
  • Pre-prosthetic and pre-orthodontic surgery
  • Emergency oral surgery

When Is Oral Surgery Necessary?

Impacted or Painful Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth that do not erupt properly can cause pain, swelling, infection, crowding, and damage to adjacent teeth. Oral surgery is often recommended to remove impacted wisdom teeth before complications occur.

Severe Tooth Infection or Dental Abscess

When infection spreads beyond the tooth root into the jawbone or surrounding tissue, oral surgery may be required to eliminate infection and protect overall health.

Tooth Loss & Jawbone Deterioration

Patients with missing teeth and bone loss may need bone grafting or implant surgery to restore proper function and appearance.

Broken, Fractured, or Non-Restorable Teeth

Teeth that are severely broken below the gumline or damaged by trauma often require surgical removal.

Orthodontic or Restorative Preparation

Oral surgery may be necessary before Invisalign, braces, dental implants, or dentures to ensure optimal alignment and long-term success.

Oral Surgery Procedures We Offer

Surgical Tooth Extractions

For teeth that are impacted, broken, or below the gumline, surgical extractions are performed using precise, minimally invasive techniques.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

We evaluate wisdom teeth early and recommend removal when necessary to prevent infection, cysts, nerve damage, or crowding.

Dental Implant Surgery

Dental implants replace missing teeth with a strong, natural-looking solution that preserves jawbone health and restores chewing function.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting strengthens areas of jawbone loss, often preparing patients for dental implant placement.

Emergency Oral Surgery

Same-day emergency oral surgery is available for severe pain, swelling, trauma, or infections that require immediate attention.
