Restore Confidence, Functionality, and Comfort with Oral Surgery

Hearing the words oral surgery can make you a little uneasy. At Mashni Dentistry in East Lansing, Michigan, we want you to stop worrying about that. Drs. James and Jason Mashni combine compassionate care with advanced technology to administer oral surgery with comfort and precision. Whether you need dental extraction, implant surgery, or bone grafting, you can trust our team for expert care.

What are the types of oral surgery?

While we focus on conservative dentistry, not all dental issues can be resolved with fillings and crowns. Complex or advanced issues may need oral surgery to restore comfort and functionality.

Common oral surgical procedures in our office include:

  • Dental Extractions: We strive to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible, but extractions may sometimes be necessary. We will recommend removing a tooth if it’s severely damaged and cannot be restored. Also, we may recommend dental extraction for an impacted or painful wisdom tooth.
  • Dental Implant Surgery: Are you struggling with a missing tooth? Dental implants offer a long-lasting solution. Our office provides precise dental implant surgery to deliver exceptional outcomes. Our doctors blend surgical excellence with cutting-edge technology to place some of the finest dental implants in the East Lansing area. Whether you need single or multiple implants, you can rely on our team for excellent outcomes.
  • Bone Grafting: At times, it may be necessary to stabilize your jawbone for an implant or other reasons. We provide advanced grafting techniques to ensure you have a solid foundation for your smile.

Every patient is unique, so we start every surgical procedure with a consultation. We’ll examine your smile and overall health and discuss your goals to create a personalized treatment plan. We understand that dental anxiety for complex treatments is a genuine concern. We offer oral sedation dentistry to help you remain relaxed during your treatment, regardless of the procedure you undergo. Breeze through your appointment with soothing sedation that makes treatment feel quick and stress-free.

What are the benefits of dental surgery?

Oral surgery offers life-changing benefits, including:

  • Enhanced comfort: Living with pain, infection, or a damaged tooth can make simple tasks like eating or talking feel difficult. Dental surgery removes the source of discomfort, allowing you to live a pain-free lifestyle.
  • Enhanced functionality: Damaged or missing teeth can impact your ability to chew, speak, and smile. Surgical treatments, such as implants, help maintain proper mouth function. You can enjoy your meals, talk clearly, and feel confident in your everyday life.
  • Improved appearance: It’s not just about functionality. Oral surgery improves aesthetics, too. Replacing teeth or rebuilding your jawbone helps you achieve a secure, naturally refreshed smile.
  • Prevent further damage: Dental issues have a cascading effect. One issue can lead to another, and the cycle never stops. When you treat oral problems early, you prevent them from worsening.
