Surgical services

Bone grafts

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that uses a special type of bone powder to restore your jaw bone if it has been affected by bone loss. If you are interested in restoring your smile with dental implants but your jaw bone is not strong enough to support the treatment, a bone graft will strengthen your jaw and make an implant possible.

Tooth extractions

We offer tooth extractions for all non-impacted teeth, including wisdom teeth. If your tooth is too damaged to save due to gum disease, decay, or an oral injury, extracting it may be the best choice. After an extraction, your pain will be relieved and you’ll be at a lower risk of further complications like tooth infection.

Dental Implants

Dental implants offer a long-lasting way to replace missing teeth and rebuild a healthier, more confident smile. Our team can place implants directly into the jawbone to create a strong foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture that looks, feels, and functions naturally.

The Oral Surgery Treatment Process

1

Schedule your consultation

Getting started begins with a thoughtful consultation. Dr. Blalock will evaluate your oral health, review your concerns, and talk through the treatment options that may be right for you. In many cases, care can be completed right here at Lakeside Dental. If your needs would be better supported by a trusted specialist, our team will help coordinate a referral so you feel confident about the next step in your care.

2

Evaluation and treatment planning

At your consultation, Dr. Blalock will perform a thorough exam and review any x-rays or records needed to fully understand your situation. He will explain your diagnosis, walk you through your surgical options, and answer any questions you have before moving forward. If sedation is a good fit for your procedure, we will discuss those options at this time as well.

3

Your surgical procedure

On the day of your procedure, our team will make sure you are comfortable and at ease before we begin. Dr. Blalock uses minimally invasive techniques along with sedation and numbing to keep you pain-free and relaxed throughout. More than one-third of all Americans avoid dental treatment due to anxiety, and we want you to know that at Lakeside Dental, your comfort is always our priority.

4

Recovery and follow-up care

After your procedure, Dr. Blalock will provide clear post-operative instructions to support a smooth recovery. We will schedule any necessary follow-up visits to monitor your healing and make sure your results are on track. Our team is always available to answer questions as you recover.

First-time visit, and everyone was wonderful. Nice, kind, helpful front desk, and my dental hygienist, Autumn, was fantastic!
