What is oral surgery?

Oral surgery encompasses a range of procedures designed to address concerns that go beyond the surface of your smile. At Cherry Dental, oral surgery is something we approach with a level of confidence and care that only comes with decades of experience. Dr. Hanna has spent over 35 years performing complex oral procedures with a steadiness and precision her patients have come to rely on — and trust completely. Whether you are coming in for a straightforward extraction or a more involved surgical procedure, you will always be walked through exactly what to expect before we begin. We believe that informed patients are comfortable patients, and comfort is something we take seriously at every stage of your care.

Why it matters

The benefits of oral surgery

Oral surgery is often the procedure patients are most apprehensive about. In the right hands, it is also one of the most transformative things dentistry can offer.

Address concerns at their root

Some dental concerns cannot be resolved with conservative treatment alone. Oral surgery allows us to address problems at their source, preventing further damage and protecting the long-term health of your smile.

Expert care in comfort

At Cherry Dental, you never have to navigate the uncertainty of an unfamiliar surgical setting. Complex care is delivered by a team that knows you, in a space designed around your comfort.

Foundation for lasting results

Many oral surgery procedures lay the groundwork for restorative and cosmetic treatments that follow. Getting this stage right means everything that comes after it is built on a solid, healthy foundation.

Our oral surgery treatments

Tooth extractions

A tooth extraction is one of the most common oral surgery procedures we perform at Cherry Dental, and one that Dr. Hanna performs with a confidence and efficiency her patients genuinely appreciate. Whether you need a straightforward removal or a more involved extraction, we approach every procedure with the same careful attention to your comfort and your outcome. We always explore every option to preserve your natural tooth before recommending an extraction — but when removal is the right call, you can trust that it will be handled with precision and care.

Wisdom teeth removal

Wisdom teeth are among the most commonly extracted teeth in dentistry, and for good reason. When they do not have sufficient room to emerge properly, they can cause crowding, infection, and damage to the surrounding teeth. At Cherry Dental, we assess wisdom teeth carefully and recommend removal only when it is genuinely necessary. When it is, the procedure is performed with the kind of steady, practiced expertise that makes a significant difference in your recovery experience. We will walk you through the process clearly and make sure you know exactly what to expect before, during, and after your appointment.

Dental implants

Dental implants are the closest thing modern dentistry has to a natural tooth. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone and topped with a custom crown, creating a restoration that looks, feels, and functions exactly as a natural tooth should. At Cherry Dental, we place implants using Nobel and Hiossen systems and offer single tooth, full arch, and mini implant solutions tailored to your specific needs and anatomy. Implants are a long-term investment in your smile, and we approach every case with the thoroughness and precision that investment deserves. We will ensure you have a complete understanding of the process, the timeline, and what to expect at every stage before we begin.

Bone grafts

A bone graft is a procedure used to rebuild or reinforce the jawbone in areas where bone density has been lost, most commonly in preparation for dental implant placement. Without sufficient bone volume, implants cannot be placed successfully — making bone grafting a critical step in the implant process for many patients. At Cherry Dental, bone grafts are performed with care and precision, and we take the time to explain exactly why the procedure is recommended, what it involves, and what you can expect during your recovery. The goal is always to give your treatment the strongest possible foundation.

Tooth icon

Sinus lifts

A sinus lift is a specialised procedure performed when the upper jaw does not have sufficient bone height to support implant placement, often because the sinuses have expanded into the space where bone once existed. The procedure involves gently lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone grafting material beneath it to create the volume needed for a successful implant. At Cherry Dental, sinus lifts are approached with the careful technique and patient communication that define our surgical care. We will make sure you understand every aspect of the procedure and feel completely confident before we proceed.

Complex occlusion adjustments

Occlusion refers to the way your upper and lower teeth meet when your mouth is closed. When this relationship is off, due to tooth loss, wear, or structural changes over time, it can lead to discomfort, uneven wear, and a range of secondary concerns. At Cherry Dental, complex occlusion adjustments are approached with a thoroughness that goes beyond surface-level correction. We assess the full picture of how your bite functions, identify the underlying causes of any imbalance, and recommend a course of treatment designed to restore proper alignment and long-term comfort.

The oral surgery process

01

Consultation and assessment

Every oral surgery procedure at Cherry Dental begins with a comprehensive assessment. We take detailed X-rays, examine the full picture of your oral health, and have an honest conversation about what we find and what we recommend. Nothing is rushed and nothing is assumed. You will leave your consultation with a clear understanding of your options and complete confidence in the path forward.

02

Your procedure, handled with precision

On the day of your procedure, our team will make sure you are comfortable and fully prepared before we begin. We work with the kind of practiced steadiness that only comes with decades of experience, and we check in with you throughout to make sure you are doing well. Every step of your procedure is performed with the precision and care your smile deserves.

03

Recovery and what comes next

After your procedure, we will walk you through your recovery instructions clearly and thoroughly, making sure you know exactly what to expect in the days that follow. We are available to answer any questions that arise during your recovery and will schedule any necessary follow-up appointments to make sure your healing is progressing exactly as it should.

Frequently asked questions

We believe informed patients make confident decisions.

We are always happy to talk through anything on your mind.

This is the question we hear most often, and the honest answer is that modern oral surgery is far more comfortable than most patients expect. We take every measure to ensure you are completely numb and at ease before we begin any procedure, and we check in with you throughout to make sure you remain comfortable. Post-procedure discomfort varies depending on the complexity of the surgery, and we will always give you clear, specific guidance on what to expect and how to manage it during your recovery.

The most reliable way to know is to come in for a comprehensive exam. Common indicators that oral surgery may be necessary include persistent tooth pain, visible damage or infection, difficulty chewing, or a tooth that has failed to emerge properly. If something feels off, do not wait. Early intervention almost always means simpler treatment and a smoother recovery.

We will give you detailed pre-operative instructions specific to your procedure at your consultation appointment. In general, you should plan to arrange transportation home if your procedure involves any form of sedation, avoid eating or drinking for the period we specify beforehand, and come in wearing comfortable clothing. If you have any questions or concerns in the lead-up to your appointment, do not hesitate to call us.

Coverage depends on your specific plan and the procedure involved. Many oral surgery procedures, including extractions and certain implant-related treatments, are at least partially covered by standard dental insurance plans. Cherry Dental accepts HMO, PPO, and Medicare, and our front desk team is happy to help you understand your benefits before your appointment. For treatments not fully covered, we offer flexible financing through CareCredit, Lending Club, and Cherry.

Dr. Archie was great and very patient. She really took the time to explain everything and made sure i was comfortable throughout the entire visit. I came in with a lot of pain and left feeling much better. I didn't feel any pain during the treatment and felt very well taken care of. Highly recommend.
