Oral Surgery Treatments
at Vail Dental Associates of Hunt Valley
Before treatment, Dr. Cross or Dr. Romay will create a personalized treatment plan to consider your budget, goals, and oral health needs. Learn more about the treatments we offer below:
Our first priority is always to restore and repair your smile with conservative treatments. Certain situations, like severe infections, significant damage, or overcrowding, may require surgical intervention, however. Using advanced technology, our team will plan your procedure precisely and efficiently. Some options for dental surgery include:
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth needs to be removed, your dentist will handle your extraction with exceptional care and precision. Once your tooth has healed, you can return to our office for a replacement tooth. You’ll have many options, including dental implants.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Don’t let troublesome teeth impact your oral health. If these third molars need to be extracted, your dentist can handle most cases in house.
Bone Grafts
If you’ve lost bone density in your jaw, you may need a bone graft before getting dental implants. After a period of healing, you can return to our office for your implant placement.
Periodontal Surgeries
These procedures are often necessary to repair soft tissue and bone damage caused by severe gum disease, prevent further tooth loss, and prepare your mouth for successful restorative treatments.
For added peace of mind, you can opt for anxiety-relief medication prior to your surgical procedure. You’ll arrive feeling completely comfortable.

Tooth Extractions
While preserving your natural teeth is always our priority, a tooth removal in Hunt Valley is occasionally the wisest choice for your long-term dental health, whether to address severe decay, manage a fracture, or prepare for necessary restorations like dentures. When extraction is required, you can often receive same-day care and get your tooth removed without the need to see a separate specialist, helping to quickly relieve persistent tooth pain and stop the spread of infection. With our gentle approach, you will feel comfortable and confident throughout the process, ensuring a healthier, more comfortable smile moving forward and setting the stage for future restorative work.
Before recommending extraction, Dr. Vail thoroughly examines your smile and explores all possibilities to save your tooth, such as root canal therapy, custom crowns, or gum disease treatment. If extraction is necessary, you can trust our experienced team to ensure your complete comfort: the area will be carefully numbed using gentle techniques, and you always have the option of taking anxiety-relief medication ahead of time to help you remain calm and relaxed. Following a period of healing, we will help you choose the ideal tooth replacement, from a single implant crown or fixed bridge to partial or implant-supported dentures, so you can bite and chew the foods you love again and have a complete, healthy smile back in no time.

Wisdom Teeth Removal
As you transition into adulthood, the development of your wisdom teeth (third molars) may necessitate wisdom teeth removal if they begin to cause problems. While these are a natural part of dental development, they often don't integrate smoothly with your existing teeth, leading to overcrowding, misalignment, and pressure that can cause significant pain and discomfort. By extracting problem teeth, we help keep your straight smile intact and maintain proper alignment while reducing the likelihood of future dental complications.
If you are between the ages of 17 and 25, or even older, and your wisdom teeth are causing issues, removing them is a proactive way to take control of your long-term oral health. These back molars can be difficult to clean, leaving you susceptible to decay and gum disease. With our gentle extraction techniques, we aim to relieve pain, preserve your oral health by removing those problem teeth, and make it easier for you to clean your entire mouth properly going forward.

Bone Grafts
Years of missing teeth often lead to jawbone deterioration, which can make obtaining dental implants challenging. Bone grafts are essential surgical procedures designed to rebuild your jaw's health and strength, creating a strong foundation for implants. This crucial step prevents further jawbone deterioration, helps maintain your facial structure and appearance, and restores the necessary strength required to successfully support dental implants.
Through bone grafting, Dr. Vail uses either natural donor bone or synthetic materials precisely placed to enhance your jaw’s strength. Over the following months, the grafting material stimulates your body’s natural healing process to encourage the growth of new bone. By taking this step, you significantly improve your chances for successful implant placement, allowing you to rebuild your smile for better oral functions.

Periodontal Surgeries and Procedures
If non-surgical treatments are not sufficient to fully restore the health of your gums, we offer a range of advanced periodontal surgeries.

Our team is dedicated to providing these complex procedures with the utmost care, precision, and a focus on your complete comfort.

Laser Pocket Decontamination
