You’ll Be in Good Hands During Your Dental Surgery

As a patient of Olympia Dental Center, you’ll feel at ease the moment you arrive. Our friendly team will welcome you and help you feel completely comfortable. We have private care rooms, so you will get your dental surgery in peace.

We offer a range of oral surgery procedures to address diverse dental concerns. It’s our goal that you won’t have to visit an outside oral surgeon. Depending on what your smile needs, your dentist may recommend:

Teeth Extractions – We’ll remove severely damaged or infected teeth to keep other healthy teeth intact. We’ll numb your mouth, so you don’t feel anything while we work.
Sinus Lift – We’ll prepare your upper jaw for implants by making room in the area and increasing your bone strength
Bone Grafting – If you have suffered bone loss, we’ll increase the bone density of your jaw, so it can support implants. We also perform this procedure to maintain your jaw structure after an extraction.

You will need time to heal before we move forward with other procedures, such as dental implants or teeth replacements. Your dentist will give you detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the area remains protected during the healing process.

Call 360-549-9659 if you need oral surgery in Tumwater. You can also request an appointment online.

Common Questions About Oral Surgery

When would I need oral surgery?

There are many reasons you may need an oral surgery procedure. One of the most common is to remove teeth, whether you need to make room for dentures or another restoration or to avoid future dental problems. If you are getting implants, you may need a procedure such as a bone graft or sinus lift to ensure your jaw is strong enough to support them.

When can I exercise after oral surgery?

For a healthy recovery, it’s best to ease slowly into exercise. You’ll want to avoid sports, workouts, and most other physical activity for the first 24 hours. Doing too much too soon can impede healing. For example, it can interfere with blood clotting. We recommend taking it easy for at least a few days.

Is there much pain after oral surgery?

Your pain level will vary depending on the extent of your surgical procedure, your age, and your overall health. For some procedures, you may feel little or no pain as you recover. For more extensive procedures, you may have some soreness. In any case, we’ll provide guidance to help you minimize discomfort and tenderness.
