Oral Surgery in Dallas
Oral surgery covers the procedures that go beyond routine dentistry, like wisdom teeth removal, complex extractions, and the surgical steps that prepare the mouth for implants or other restorative work. These are the cases where technique, planning, and a steady hand matter most.
Dr. Yeo handles a significant amount of oral surgery in-house, including most wisdom teeth cases, surgical extractions, and the surgical placement of dental implants. That comes from years of advanced surgical training. Keeping these procedures in one office means continuity of care. The dentist planning your treatment is the same one performing the surgery and following up afterward.
Comfort is taken seriously. Most oral surgery is done under local anesthesia, with optional nitrous oxide for patients who want to feel more relaxed. For cases that genuinely require IV sedation, Dr. Yeo refers to a trusted oral surgeon, because the right call is always what's safest and most appropriate for the case, not what keeps the work in-house.
Whether it's a tooth that needs to come out, wisdom teeth that are causing problems, or surgical preparation for an implant, oral surgery at Fresh Smile is built around clear communication, careful planning, and a recovery that's as smooth as possible.
