At Central Virginia Family Dentistry, you can count on expert care for your complex dental needs. Our team provides comfortable, precise oral surgery care right here in Amherst, in the same welcoming environment you know and trust.
We understand that the idea of oral surgery can feel intimidating, so our dentists take time to explain every step, answer your questions, and ensure your comfort from start to finish. Our top surgical procedures include:
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be saved, an extraction may be the best way to relieve pain and protect surrounding teeth. We perform gentle, efficient extractions using modern techniques to minimize discomfort and promote quick healing.
If you need a replacement tooth, we’ll discuss your available tooth replacement options, including dental implants, bridges, or dentures, so your smile can be fully restored.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy removes a small band of tissue (the frenum) that restricts movement of the tongue or lips, a condition commonly known as tongue-tie or lip-tie. This simple procedure can improve speech, feeding, and oral comfort, and it’s often performed for both children and adults.
Our doctors perform frenectomies with precision and care, ensuring a smooth experience and a fast recovery.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often erupt in the late teens or early twenties, and they don’t always have enough room to come in properly. When they grow at an angle, only partially erupt, or become trapped under the gumline, they can cause pain, crowding, or infection.
We offer both simple and surgical wisdom tooth extractions, including:
- Partial bony impactions, where part of the tooth is covered by bone
- Fully bony impactions, where the tooth is completely trapped in the jawbone
Our goal is always to make your procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible, with clear guidance for post-operative care and healing.
