Oral Surgery

Oral Surgery in Indianapolis

When you need a tooth removed, wisdom teeth taken out, or missing teeth replaced with implants, you want experienced care in a setting that feels familiar and comfortable. Olive Branch Dentists provides a wide range of oral surgery procedures right here in our Lafayette Road office, so you can receive advanced treatment without being referred elsewhere. With nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation available, even complex procedures can feel calm and manageable.

Oral Surgery Procedures We Offer

Wisdom Teeth Removal: Extraction of impacted, partially erupted, or problem wisdom teeth to prevent pain, infection, crowding, and damage to nearby molars.
Surgical Extractions: Removal of teeth broken at the gumline, badly decayed teeth, or teeth with curved or complicated roots.
Dental Implant Surgery: Placement of titanium implant posts to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch.
All-on-X Full-Arch Implants: A complete set of fixed teeth supported by a few strategically placed implants.
Bone Grafting: Restoring lost jawbone so there is enough support for dental implants.
Socket Preservation: Placing graft material at the time of extraction to protect the bone for future implants.
Denture Preparation Surgery: Reshaping and smoothing bone so dentures fit more comfortably and securely.

When Should You See Us for Oral Surgery?

Throbbing pain, swelling, or pressure in the back of your jaw
A tooth that is cracked, broken, or too damaged to save
Repeated gum infections around a wisdom tooth
One or more missing teeth you would like to replace permanently
Dentures that slip, rub, or no longer fit
Teeth shifting or crowding because of erupting wisdom teeth

Comfortable Care With Sedation

Every oral surgery procedure starts with thorough local anesthesia to numb the area. For extra comfort, we offer nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Many patients choose IV sedation for wisdom teeth and implant procedures because it creates a deep sense of relaxation, and most remember very little afterward. We will help you choose the safest and most comfortable option based on your health and treatment.

Careful Planning for Better Outcomes

Before surgery, we use digital X-rays and, when needed, 3D imaging to see the exact position of teeth, roots, nerves, sinuses, and bone. This detailed view allows us to plan precise, efficient treatment, minimize surprises, and support faster healing.

Healing and Aftercare

Most patients return to normal routines within a few days. You will receive written aftercare instructions, which typically include:

Resting for the first day and avoiding heavy lifting or exercise
Applying cold packs to reduce swelling
Choosing soft foods and drinking plenty of water
Avoiding straws, smoking, and forceful spitting
Taking any medications exactly as prescribed

We schedule follow-up visits as needed, and our team is just a phone call away if questions come up while you heal.
