Get Comfortable Dental Surgery at Our Modern Facility

It’s not always necessary to see a specialist if you need an oral surgical procedure. Your dentist can handle many types of oral surgery right here. Our dedicated team will make sure you’re comfortable in our private patient care rooms by offering you a choice of sedation options. You can opt for either inhaled sedation with laughing gas or oral conscious sedation by taking a small pill. For an extra special touch, pillows and blankets will help you feel at home.

To speed your healing and recovery time, we’ll use an innovative technique called platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). We’ll take a small sample of your own blood, then process it and add the fibrin back to your surgical site. You’ll experience a quicker and more comfortable healing time.

Below are some of the types of oral surgery we offer at Arlington Dental:

  • Tooth Extractions – We can remove a troublesome tooth to protect your oral health.
  • Wisdom Teeth Removal – Dr. Whitlock can handle many cases of wisdom teeth removal in-house.
  • Dental Implant Placement – We’ll place your implants here, rather than sending you to an oral surgeon to have it done.
  • Bone Grafts – A bone graft will stimulate the growth of new bone cells, preparing your weak jawbone for implants.

For comfortable oral surgery in Cordova, visit Arlington Dental. Call us today at 901-445-8144 to schedule your consultation with Dr. Whitlock. You can also request an appointment online.

Common Questions About Oral Surgery

When would I need oral surgery?

Some of the most common reasons you may need oral surgery are removing a tooth that is too damaged to save, extracting wisdom teeth that are painful or causing dental problems, removing teeth for dentures or other restorations, or preparing for dental implants with a bone graft or other procedure.

When is oral surgery covered by insurance?

Your dental insurance or medical insurance may cover a portion of your oral surgery. We recommend you check with your individual carriers to find out what they will and won’t pay for before you have any work done. That way there aren’t any big surprises in store for you. As a convenience, we offer in-house financing as well as third-party financing through CareCredit and LendingPoint.

When can I exercise after oral surgery?

You should not exercise at all for the first 24 hours after your oral surgery. Doing too much too soon can increase your healing time. For example, strenuous exercise can loosen the blood clot on an extraction site and cause a painful condition known as dry socket. After the first day, limit your exercise to low-impact activities for several more days to prevent complications.
