If you think you need dental surgery, call us today at 956-450-7375 to schedule a consultation. You’ll find our office on East Tyler Avenue, not far from its intersection with East Harrison Avenue.

Stop Your Pain With an Oral Surgery Procedure

At Drake Family Dentistry, we use the latest dental technology for diagnosing and repairing your smile. Our office is equipped with digital X-rays and intraoral cameras that make your care as precise and efficient as possible. Although we use local anesthesia and take a gentle approach to minimize discomfort, you’ll have your choice of inhaled sedation or oral conscious sedation to take the edge off your anxiety.

Common oral surgery procedures we perform here include:

  • Tooth Extraction – If you have a damaged or diseased tooth that we’re not able to save with a filling or a root canal, then we’ll gently remove it. Extracting a problem tooth can help prevent additional complications with your other teeth and gums.
  • Wisdom Tooth Removal – If your wisdom teeth are causing you problems – for example, coming in under your other teeth or at the wrong angle – we’ll remove them. Removal will stop your pain and help restore your oral health.
  • Dental Implant Placement – Unlike some dental offices that only restore dental implants, Dr. Burton can also place them. He has received advanced training in implant surgery, so you can rest assured you’ll receive precise treatment and a reliable outcome.

Don’t suffer from pain or a damaged smile! Call Drake Family Dentistry today at 956-450-7375 to schedule an appointment for Harlingen oral surgery. You can also make an appointment if you prefer.

Common Questions About Oral Surgery

Tooth extraction is often needed if a tooth is too damaged to repair or if it is damaging your other teeth. In some cases, you need to have teeth removed to make room for dentures or another dental restoration. If necessary, we can also remove problem wisdom teeth that are putting your other teeth and your oral health in jeopardy.

Your insurance plan may cover part of your oral surgery. Our team will gladly work with your insurance company to maximize your benefits and reduce your contribution to your care. You may also want to check with your carrier to see what they will and won’t cover so there aren’t any surprises when it comes time to pay the bill.

You should not exercise at all for the first 24 hours after your surgery. Doing so could cause problems that prolong your healing. For example, strenuous exercise can loosen the blood clot on an extraction site and cause a painful condition known as dry socket. After the first day, limit your exercise to low-impact activities for several more days.
