Our selection of oral surgery treatments in Spokane Valley includes the following:
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are often performed in an emergency procedure after trauma or injury. Sometimes, they are removed as a preventive measure, most often with wisdom tooth removal. Dr. Hymas can provide a gentle dental extraction for patients who are experiencing tooth pain, discomfort, significant damage, or an oral infection. After taking a set of digital x-rays and a thorough examination, he will determine the best course of action for removing the affected tooth.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom tooth removal is a common procedure most commonly performed for patients in their late teenage years or early 20s. Wisdom tooth extraction is often critical to avoiding excess tooth pain, tooth crowding, and orthodontic concerns that may occur when they are left untreated. Dr. Hymas will work with you or your teen to assess any wisdom tooth-related symptoms you may be experiencing and determine the healthiest time for your wisdom teeth to be removed.
Hymas Family Dental offers all different types of wisdom tooth removal surgeries, including the removal of full-bony and partial-bony impacted wisdom teeth!
Dental Implant Placement Surgery
Patients who have lost one or more teeth often visit us at Hymas Family Dental for state-of-the-art tooth replacement with dental implants. Implants are natural-looking, long-lasting replacement teeth that are crafted using titanium posts that are surgically implanted into the jawbone. They are then topped with crown restorations that are custom-shaded and shaped to look, feel and function like your natural teeth! Without dietary restrictions or daily removal, implants are often the preferred tooth placement solution for our patients.
To restore your smile from tooth loss, our Spokane Valley implant dentist offers single implants, All-on-4® dental implants (known as new teeth in a day), implant-retained dentures, and more!
Sinus Lift
Dr. Hymas
may perform sinus lift surgery to provide more security for dental implants. Also known as maxillary sinus elevation, sinus lift surgery is performed for patients who do not have enough bone height to support a dental implant or if the sinuses are too big or too close for an implant. This surgery allows for greater dental implant stability using a bone graft.
Frenectomy
Is your infant experiencing dysfunction in the lips or tongue related to frenum attachment? Hymas Family Dental offers frenectomies, a quick, non-invasive surgical procedure to correct the problem and restore your child's healthy, functional smile.
A frenum, or frenulum, is a small piece of tissue that attaches either the upper lip to the gum tissue or the tongue to the floor of the mouth. In some children, the frenum may be attached too tightly, causing a "tongue-tie," pulling on the gums, impaired speech, problems with eating or drinking, and more.
A frenectomy is a non-invasive procedure that involves our dentist making a small incision within the frenum. This minor surgery produces instant results, and quickly allows greater movement of the lips and restore the function of the tongue. The incision site usually heals in a few days with little to no discomfort!
