Oral Surgery and Sedation in Downtown Toronto
Not every dental concern can be solved with a simple filling or cleaning. Sometimes a tooth has to be removed, gum tissue needs special attention, or a patient simply feels too anxious to sit through a longer procedure without help. That’s where oral surgery and sedation come in.
Oral Surgery and Sedation
Surgical Extractions
When a tooth doesn’t come out easily — wisdom teeth that are stuck, roots that have fractured, or teeth broken at the gumline — surgery is often the safest way forward. These treatments are planned carefully so healing is as smooth as possible.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
For patients who feel nervous in the chair, nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) can make the appointment feel lighter. It works quickly, wears off quickly, and allows patients to return to normal activities the same day.
Oral Sedation
Some people need something stronger than nitrous oxide. Oral sedation, taken before the visit, creates a deeper sense of calm. You remain awake but less focused on what’s happening, which can make a long procedure feel shorter.
Periodontal Care
Gum health matters as much as tooth health. In cases of gum disease or tissue loss, periodontal treatment can clean deeply, reduce infection, and sometimes rebuild lost support with grafting.
Prosthodontics & Restorative Work
When a tooth or several teeth are missing, prosthodontic care provides complex restorations — whether that’s advanced crowns, bridges, or dentures that are supported by implants.
Other Oral Surgery
Beyond extractions, surgery may be needed to correct issues with the jaw or supporting tissues. Each case is unique, so recommendations are based on diagnosis and discussion.
