Procedures
At Golden Foothills Oral, Facial, & Dental Implant Surgery, we’re dedicated to helping others by providing exemplary oral surgery care. Our board-certified surgeons treat patients of all ages in the greater Sacramento area at our offices in El Dorado Hills, Folsom, and Auburn.
Dental Implants
A dental implant looks and feels just like a natural tooth and can replace a single missing tooth or restore your entire smile.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth should be extracted by an oral surgeon as soon as possible to avoid pain, overcrowding, infection, and more.
Bone Grafting
If the jaw has deteriorated, we can use bone grafts to build new bone and treat trauma and disease or prepare for implants.
Full-Arch Restoration (Teeth-in-an-Hour™)
By using only a few dental implants, we can provide you with a new, fully functioning, beautiful smile in as fast as one hour.
Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery can improve facial symmetry and drastically improve your ability to speak, eat, and breathe.
Facial Trauma
Our surgeons respond quickly to trauma incidents and manage these cases throughout all stages to ensure proper healing.
Tooth Extractions
We may recommend extraction if a tooth is infected or severely damaged. We can also discuss replacing the tooth with a dental implant.
Impacted Canines
When a canine tooth cannot erupt, we expose the tooth and help guide it into the dental arch so it can function properly.
Additional Procedures
Oral Pathology
We examine the mouth for abnormalities and, if detected, we will perform a biopsy to diagnose and treat oral cancer or oral disease.
Sleep Apnea
For patients with obstructive sleep apnea, we offer surgical and nonsurgical options to ensure proper airflow during sleep.
Stem Cells
After wisdom teeth removal, you can bank the stem cells within these teeth for potentially life-saving treatment in the future.
Ridge Augmentation
Often performed after a tooth extraction, this treatment contours the gums for a healthy and symmetrical appearance.
Nerve Repositioning
If a nerve is blocking the path of a future dental implant in the lower jaw, we can reposition the nerve for safe and successful placement.
Distraction Osteogenesis
By slowly separating bone, we can help new bone grow in the open space to treat bone loss in the upper or lower jaw.
TMJ Disorders
Jaw clicking, popping, facial pain, or discomfort caused by a TMJ disorder can be treated with surgical and nonsurgical techniques.
Cleft Lip & Palate
A cleft in the lip and/or palate requires delicate care to close the gap and ensure both oral function and aesthetically pleasing results.
Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
Before receiving dentures, we can reshape the bony ridges and gum tissues in the mouth to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
Sinus Lift
Prior to receiving a dental implant in the upper arch, we may perform a sinus lift to promote bone growth and support the implant.
Socket Preservation
Socket preservation involves using a bone grafting material to preserve the size of a tooth socket following extraction.
