Why do I need a referral for a dental implant ❓

Great question!

Dental implants are a team effort. While Dr. Raj and Dr. Savage are responsible for surgically placing the titanium implant post, your general dentist plays an equally important role by designing and placing the final crown that completes your smile.

A referral helps ensure that your oral surgeon and dentist are working together from the beginning to create a treatment plan that fits your specific needs. This collaboration helps provide the best possible outcome for both function and appearance.

Dental implants are one of the most predictable and long-lasting solutions for replacing missing teeth, and successful treatment starts with careful planning and communication between your dental providers.

☀️ Summer break is the perfect time to think about wisdom tooth treatment!

With school out and schedules a little more flexible, many families choose the summer months for wisdom tooth evaluations and removal. Early assessment can help identify potential problems before they become more complicated later on.

If your teen or young adult still has their wisdom teeth, now is a great time to schedule a consultation and discuss the best timing for treatment.

Contact AOMS to learn more about wisdom tooth management and whether it's time for an evaluation.

Pain management is evolving!

A newly approved medication called suzetrigine (Journavx®) is the first new non-opioid prescription pain medication for acute pain in more than 25 years. Unlike opioids, it works by blocking pain signals before they reach the brain, helping manage discomfort without the same risks of many common prescription medications.

While it may not be the right option for every patient, innovations like this are expanding the ways healthcare providers can help patients stay comfortable after surgery.

At AOMS, we are committed to staying current with advances in oral surgery and pain management so we can provide safe, effective care tailored to each patient's needs.

FAQ: My dentist just took x-rays. Why do I need another one at your office?

We completely understand the question! 🦷

While your dentist's x-rays are very helpful, oral surgery often requires a different view. Our office uses panoramic x-rays and CT scans, which allow us to see the entire upper and lower jaw, surrounding bone, jaw joints, sinus cavities, and other important structures that aren't always visible on standard dental x-rays.

📸 This more comprehensive imaging helps our doctors safely and accurately plan procedures such as wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, bone grafting, and other oral surgery treatments.

The more information we have, the better we can tailor your care and ensure the best possible outcome. 🦷✨

Sometimes a tooth just needs a little help finding its way into place 🦷✨

Exposure and bond treatment is a common oral surgery procedure used to help guide impacted teeth—often canines—into proper alignment as part of orthodontic treatment. Our team works closely with your orthodontist to help make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Questions about treatment? We’re here to help every step of the way!
