Oral Surgery Los Angeles CA

At Dr. Goto’s Dental Office, our prosthodontist, Dr. Goto, offers advanced oral surgery procedures, including tooth extractions, socket preservation bone grafting, sinus bone grafting, dental implant surgery, and gingival periodontal surgery. Each procedure is performed with precision using high-quality materials and advanced techniques to support your oral health, function, and smile. Here’s a clear overview of each service.

Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction removes a severely damaged, decayed, impacted, or problematic tooth, often to support treatments like dental implants. Dr. Goto uses minimally invasive methods to gently extract the tooth, preserving surrounding bone and tissue to promote faster healing and reduce discomfort. Whether it’s a simple or complex case, he tailors the procedure to prioritize your comfort and support a smooth recovery.

Socket Preservation Bone Grafting

Socket preservation bone grafting is performed after a tooth extraction to maintain your jawbone’s structure. Dr. Goto places biocompatible bone graft material into the empty socket to encourage natural bone growth and prevent bone loss. This step helps preserve your facial structure and prepares the site for future dental implants, supporting a stable foundation. He uses high-quality materials informed by current research to promote healing and long-term success.

Sinus Bone Grafting (Sinus Lift)

A sinus lift is a specialized procedure for patients needing dental implants in the upper jaw but lacking sufficient bone height due to the nearby sinus cavity. Dr. Goto carefully lifts the sinus membrane and adds bone graft material to build up the area, creating a strong base for implants. This precise technique enhances bone volume to support stable implant placement while prioritizing your comfort. 

Dental Implant Surgery

Dental implant surgery involves placing small, biocompatible titanium posts into the jawbone as artificial tooth roots to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dr. Goto’s expertise supports accurate implant placement, promoting strong integration with your bone for durable results. This procedure enhances function and appearance, offering a natural-looking, long-lasting solution tailored to your needs. 

Gingival Periodontal Surgery

Gingival periodontal surgery addresses gum issues like disease, recession, or irregularities to improve function and appearance. Dr. Goto reshapes or regenerates gum tissue to support healthy gums for your teeth or implants. This surgery promotes oral health and enhances your smile’s appearance, using careful techniques for natural results and effective healing.
