Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that increases the amount of hard tissue in the jaw. Using a graft, an oral surgeon can replace missing bone or simply build up an area to strengthen it. Bone grafting can help alleviate issues affecting the teeth and gums, and also prepares patients to receive a dental implant at a later date. Though the surgery may sound painful, our oral surgeons, Christopher Burton and Jared Rasmussen, have many methods of reducing discomfort during and after the procedure. In addition to detailed pain management instructions, our team can prescribe pain relievers to manage discomfort as you heal.

Oral surgeons are dentists who have additional, specialized education and training in treating oral health problems involving the face and jaws. While some dentists may be able to do simple, non-surgical extractions, they usually send their patients to an oral surgeon for complex extractions or other dental surgeries. At our Orem and Saratoga Springs, UT, practice, we offer local anesthesia combined with relaxing sedation dentistry when surgical extraction is needed or when a patient finds dentist appointments stressful. We use the correct monitoring, training, and equipment to make sure our patients experience safe, comfortable, and efficient extractions.

At Utah Valley Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we offer every level of sedation. We perform the majority of procedures in-house using light, conscious, or deep sedation. Dr. Burton also offers general anesthesia at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center and Timpanogos Hospital for patients who qualify. Dr. Christopher Burton and Dr. Jared Rasmussen are skilled and experienced. They have undergone advanced training in all areas of oral and maxillofacial surgery. To learn more about the dentistry treatments and sedation options we offer, request an appointment at our Orem or Saratoga Springs, UT, locations.
