Oral Surgery

Oral Surgery

Oral surgery covers a range of procedures used to treat teeth, gums, and jaw structures that can't be managed with routine dental care alone. At Brighton Family Dentistry in Brooklyn, NY, we provide oral surgery services as part of a broader approach to restorative and preventive dental health, helping patients address issues that affect comfort, function, and long-term oral health.

When Oral Surgery May Be Needed

• Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth — wisdom teeth that are crowded, angled, or only partially emerged often require removal to prevent pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth.
• Non-restorable teeth — teeth affected by severe decay, fracture, or advanced gum disease sometimes need extraction when other treatments aren't viable.
• Preparing for dental implants — some patients require bone grafting to build up the jaw before implant placement.

What to Expect

• Evaluation first — we review your dental and health history, along with imaging, to determine the right approach for your situation.
• Aftercare guidance — you'll receive clear instructions on healing, diet, and follow-up care to support recovery.

Related Services

Oral surgery often works alongside other services we offer, including extractions, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, and dental implants, so your treatment plan can address both the immediate issue and your longer-term oral health goals.
