THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF ORAL SURGERY

Medically reviewed by Saad Bassas, DDS — Board-Certified Prosthodontist · Diplomate, American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry

When you think about oral surgery, you typically think about tooth extractions. Removing teeth is a significant part of oral surgery; however, did you know that your oral surgeon can also help with tooth implant placement and gum contouring? Dr. Bassas and Dr. Chong help our patients with all aspects of oral surgery in Sartell, MN.

Tooth Implants to Restore Your Smile

Losing a tooth is devastating in many ways, but the good news is that a tooth implant can replace your lost tooth with an alternative that feels, looks, and functions just like a natural tooth. Your team at i-Implant Dentistry can guide you through every step of the dental implant process so you can work with the team you trust. In fact, Dr. Bassas has over 20 years of experience performing implant placement surgeries and restoring his patient’s smiles with tooth implants in Sartell so that you can rest assured that you are receiving the best implant dentistry the area has to offer.

Tooth Extractions and Wisdom Teeth

If it’s time to have a tooth extracted, you can trust your experienced Roseville dental team at i-Implant Dentistry. Whether it’s due to decay, infection, or gum disease, we make removing your tooth a comfortable and seamless process.

Most dentists recommend that you remove wisdom teeth to protect your dental health. Wisdom teeth can be hard to brush and floss, or they might be impacted, which could result in an infection.

Gum Contouring and Crown Lengthening

In some cases, when a tooth breaks near the gum line, a patient may need to remove extra gum tissue to restore their tooth. This procedure is called crown lengthening.

Gum contouring can eliminate a “gummy smile” by removing the excess gum tissue that may be hiding your teeth.

Dr. Saad Bassas is a board-certified prosthodontist and a Diplomate of both the American Board of Prosthodontics and the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry — a dual distinction held by only a small number of dentists in the United States. He completed residency training in both oral surgery and prosthodontics, which qualifies him to surgically place and prosthetically restore dental implants himself rather than dividing that care between two providers. With more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Bassas performs hundreds of implant and bone-grafting procedures each year at i-Implant Dentistry in Roseville and Sartell, Minnesota, and is specially licensed to provide IV sedation. He has practiced dentistry in Minnesota since 2003.
