We can preserve your oral health and improve your smile with surgical procedures like:
- Tooth Removal – Saving a diseased or damaged tooth will always be our priority. If an extraction is necessary, we can remove the tooth quickly and gently. We may also require the removal of two or more teeth to prepare your mouth for dentures or dental implants.
- Bone Grafts – If you’ve struggled with tooth loss, you may have been left with a weak jawbone or insufficient bone mass. A bone graft procedure can rebuild and strengthen those areas. It’s often necessary to help you become a good candidate for dental implants.
- Dental Implants — In most cases, we can place and restore your dental implants in our office. These artificial tooth roots keep your new teeth firmly in place. They give you stronger dental function and jawbone strength.
Dr. Ted Thomas has decades of experience restoring patients’ oral function and smile’s beauty. In most cases, you won’t need to visit an outside oral surgeon for the above treatments. Plus, our team will go out of our way to provide a comfortable and positive experience.

Nelson K I had a Ted Thomas coaching course and I enjoyed the service very much. What I enjoyed the most were the people – Ted, coaches and staffs. They were really people and there for you. Also, learning all the details with experts in your own pace was wonderful and you could easily build your confidence in your learning.
I had a little struggle in the beginning for self-study phase but Ted took the initiative to make sure I would learn the process from the best people from his team, which was absolutely amazing and make this program very personal.

I had an emergency where a piece of my molar came off and I was in such pain! I felt like I had a dry socket like when I had my wisdom teeth removed and the pain was HORRIBLE. Anyways, I called my own dentist who wouldn’t have had seen me until Four days later and I called around and no one else was able to fit me in that day. I called Dr. Thomas’s office right before they were going to close and they were able to fit me in and do my procedure which was quick and painless. I was so nervous but Dr. Thomas and his staff were super friendly which caused my anxiety and fear levels to drop significantly! They worked with me, my insurance and set up a payment plan. As I was walking out the door, I knew “This is going to be my new dentist for sure”! Their friendly and kind approach won me over!
Common Questions About Oral Surgery
Tooth extraction is often needed if a tooth is too damaged to repair or if it is damaging your other teeth. In some cases, you need to have teeth removed to make room for orthodontic treatment or restorations. If necessary, we’ll recommend a bone graft to ensure your jaw is strong enough to support dental implants.
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 pain and soreness.
You’ll need to avoid smoking for at least 12 hours prior to oral surgery (and 24 hours after). We perform many oral surgeries using only local anesthesia, so you’ll be able to enjoy a light meal several hours beforehand. We’ll give you more specific instructions. It’s a good idea to take off work or school for at least a day or two, depending on the kind of surgery you receive.
