As a specialty practice, we focus on oral and maxillofacial surgery, including dental implants, tooth extractions, and bone grafting. Our oral surgeon, Dr. Mark Dreher, has advanced surgical and medical training, allowing us to handle more complex cases safely and comfortably right here in our Johnson City office.
A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth with a small titanium post. Once the implant fuses with the jawbone, it forms a solid foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. The result looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. Because implants help prevent bone loss, they’re one of the best long-term solutions for replacing missing teeth.
Healing time can vary depending on your bone health and whether additional procedures, like bone grafting or sinus lifts, are needed. In many cases, the implant site takes about two to four months to fully integrate with the bone. During this time, we monitor healing closely and coordinate with your dentist for the restoration phase.
Yes. We provide IV sedation and other forms of anesthesia to ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable during your procedure. Sedation is especially helpful for patients undergoing longer treatments or those who experience dental anxiety. Before surgery, we’ll review your health history and discuss which option is safest for you.
Bone grafting and sinus lift procedures are often recommended for patients who have lost bone density in their jaw. These treatments strengthen and rebuild the bone, making it possible to securely place dental implants later on. Our team will take detailed 3D scans to determine if grafting is necessary before your implant surgery.
You can expect some mild swelling or tenderness for a few days after surgery, which is completely normal. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions on how to manage discomfort, protect the surgical site, and speed up healing. Most patients are able to return to their normal routines within a few days, depending on the procedure.
