Oral Surgery with Sedation Dentistry

Oral surgery covers some of the more involved procedures we perform, from routine extractions to bone grafting ahead of an implant. These are exactly the cases where sedation makes the biggest difference. At Sleep Dentists, we offer sedation dentistry oral surgery so you can complete complex or lengthy treatment in comfort, often in fewer visits than you’d expect. Below are the surgical services we provide, each available with the sedation option that fits your procedure and comfort level.

Oral surgery service

Simple and Complex Extractions

Removing a problem tooth without the dread.

Whether a tooth is too damaged to save or simply needs to come out, extractions are one of the most common reasons patients seek us out. Simple extractions involve teeth that are fully visible above the gumline, while complex extractions address teeth that are broken, impacted, or require additional access. Sedation keeps you calm and still throughout, regardless of which type you need.

Duration

20 to 60 minutes

Recovery

Two to three days

Best for: damaged or decayed teeth, teeth beyond repair, patients anxious about extractions

Oral surgery service

Anterior Composite Bonding

A natural-looking fix for visible front teeth.

Anterior composite bonding repairs chips, gaps, or discoloration on your front teeth using a tooth-colored resin that’s sculpted and polished to match your natural smile. Because this work is visible and requires careful shaping, patients often want to sit still and stay relaxed throughout, which sedation makes easier to achieve.

Duration

30 to 45 minutes per tooth

Recovery

Same day

Best for: chipped or discolored front teeth, small gaps, patients wanting a quick cosmetic fix

Oral surgery service

Oral Biopsies

Answers, without the added stress.

An oral biopsy removes a small tissue sample from the mouth for lab testing, typically used to investigate unusual sores, lumps, or discoloration. It’s a diagnostic step, not a guarantee of a serious finding, but the uncertainty around it can understandably raise anxiety. Sedation helps you stay relaxed while our team collects what’s needed quickly and precisely.

Duration

15 to 30 minutes

Recovery

One to two days

Best for: unexplained sores, lumps, or lesions that need further investigation

Oral surgery service

Bone Grafting

Rebuilding a strong foundation.

Bone grafting adds volume and density to the jaw where bone has been lost, often due to a missing tooth, gum disease, or injury. It’s a common step before dental implant placement, giving the implant a stable foundation to anchor into. The procedure requires precise, close work in the jaw, which sedation makes significantly more comfortable.

Duration

45 to 90 minutes

Recovery

One to two weeks

Best for: patients preparing for dental implants, bone loss from missing teeth or gum disease

Oral surgery service

Soft Tissue Augmentation

Protecting your gums and your smile.

Soft tissue augmentation adds gum tissue in areas where it has receded, helping to protect exposed tooth roots and improve the appearance of your gumline. Left untreated, gum recession can lead to sensitivity and further bone loss. Sedation allows for a calmer experience during this detailed, tissue-level work.

Duration

45 to 60 minutes

Recovery

One to two weeks

Best for: receded gums, exposed tooth roots, sensitivity near the gumline

Oral surgery service

Socket Preservation

Protecting the site after an extraction.

After a tooth is removed, the surrounding socket can begin to lose bone and shape if left untreated. Socket preservation fills the space with grafting material immediately after extraction, maintaining the site’s structure for a future implant or restoration. Performing this step under sedation, right alongside your extraction, keeps the entire visit comfortable from start to finish.

Duration

15 to 30 minutes (added to extraction time)

Recovery

Same as extraction, three to five days

Best for: patients planning a future implant, preserving jaw structure after extraction

Oral surgery service

Sinus Lifts

Making room for a lasting implant.

A sinus lift adds bone to the upper jaw near the sinuses, creating enough depth and density to support a dental implant in the back teeth. It’s a more involved procedure, often needed when the sinus sits too close to the jawbone for an implant to be placed safely. Sedation makes this longer, more technical procedure far easier to get through comfortably.

Duration

60 to 120 minutes

Recovery

One to two weeks

Best for: patients needing upper jaw implants, insufficient bone height near the sinuses

Oral surgery service

Apicoectomy

A second chance for a treated tooth.

An apicoectomy removes infected tissue from the very tip of a tooth’s root, typically performed when a previous root canal hasn’t fully resolved an infection. It’s a precise, minor surgical procedure that allows you to keep the tooth rather than losing it to extraction. Sedation keeps you comfortable throughout this detailed, root-level work.

Duration

30 to 60 minutes

Recovery

Two to three days

Best for: persistent infection after a root canal, saving a previously treated tooth
