Oral Surgery At Yerra Family Dentistry


Yerra Family Dentistry - Woodinville Dentist

Oral Surgery Requires Additional Training

Oral surgeons are educated and trained in oral and maxillofacial dentistry. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are the only type of surgeon, other than anesthesiologists, who can offer all levels of sedation up to general anesthesia. If you live in Woodinville, WA or the surrounding area and are looking for an oral surgeon, we’d like to serve you.

Surgery Procedures Performed By Dr.Yerra

The most common procedure performed by Dr. Yerra is a tooth extraction, which often requires sedation. Removing impacted wisdom teeth is a routine procedure here at Yerra Family Dentistry. Sometimes a patient may have a misaligned bite that cannot be solved by orthodontics. In this situation, the patient would receive corrective jaw surgery. This procedure may also be recommended if the patient has congenital abnormalities (birth defects) or to treat skeletal problems. If this is recommended, Dr.Yerra may suggest reshaping jaw bones or repositioning jaws and teeth. It’s not uncommon to coordinate this procedure with the patient’s orthodontist. Other common surgeries are:
  • Cleft palate or cleft lip surgery
  • Cosmetic and restorative dental work
  • Placement of dental implants
  • Bone grafting when required in the placement of dentures
  • Facial trauma surgeries
  • TMJ treatment when non-surgical treatment is unsuccessful
  • Oral cancer biopsies
  • Dental implants
  • Outpatient anesthesia
