Oral Surgeryin Omaha & Lincoln, NE
Some dental problems require more advanced care to restore comfort and protect your oral health. Oral surgery treatments help address complex dental issues so you can get back to eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence.
What is oral surgery?
Oral surgery includes dental procedures that treat more complex issues involving the teeth, gums, and jaw. These treatments are often recommended when problems cannot be resolved with routine dental care alone. Common oral surgery procedures include tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, dental implant placement, and bone grafting.
At Superior Dental Health, our team provides oral surgery services with a focus on patient comfort and careful treatment planning. Modern imaging technology such as CBCT scans allows our dentists to evaluate oral structures in detail and perform procedures with precision.
The benefits of oral surgery
Oral surgery treatments help address complex dental concerns that affect both comfort and oral health. Proper treatment can improve function while preventing future complications.
Relief from pain and infection
Oral surgery procedures can remove infected or damaged teeth and treat conditions that cause ongoing discomfort.
Protect surrounding teeth and tissues
Addressing dental problems early can help prevent damage to nearby teeth, bone, and gum tissue.
Support long-term oral health
Oral surgery can help restore oral health and create a strong foundation for treatments such as dental implants or restorative care.
Our oral surgery treatments
Tooth extractions
Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or cannot be repaired with restorative treatment. During an extraction, the dentist carefully removes the tooth while focusing on patient comfort. Removing a problematic tooth can help relieve pain and prevent infection from spreading to nearby teeth or tissues. After the procedure, your dentist may discuss options for replacing the missing tooth, such as dental implants or bridges.
Wisdom teeth removal
Wisdom teeth often require surgical removal when they become impacted or cause crowding in the mouth. Impacted wisdom teeth may lead to pain, swelling, or infection if not treated.
Our team carefully evaluates wisdom teeth using digital imaging before performing the procedure. Removing wisdom teeth can help protect surrounding teeth and prevent future oral health problems.Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common oral surgery procedures and helps many patients avoid long-term complications.
Bone grafting
Bone grafting is a procedure used to restore bone structure in the jaw. This treatment is often recommended for patients preparing for dental implants or for those who have experienced bone loss due to missing teeth or infection. During a bone graft procedure, grafting material is placed in the area where additional bone support is needed. Over time, the graft integrates with the natural bone to create a stronger foundation.
Dental implant placement
Dental implant placement is a surgical procedure used to replace missing teeth. A small titanium implant is placed into the jawbone, where it acts as a replacement root for the missing tooth. Once the implant integrates with the bone, it can support a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants provide a strong and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth.

Real patients. Real experiences. See what people are saying about their care with us.
Great, fun, and efficient office! People with cool names and great attitudes work there. They took me in for an emergency on a Friday and treated me like family. I highly recommend this office!
It had been very long since I’d been to the dentist so I went into this appointment with a lot of fear and anxiety. Every person I interacted with was so kind and understanding. The woman at the front desk helped me with my insurance, and even called to confirm my visit would be covered when I didn’t have the right insurance card with me. I felt very taken care of during my visit and they put my nerves at ease.
My first experience was positive! They accomplished more than I thought we would in that appointment & I feel confident in the treatment plan. I learned a few things about my particular dental structure that I was not aware of - leads me to think I will have better health in the long run.
Very professional and attentive staff. Scheduling is simple; appointments are on time. The hygienist and dentist have been phenomenal! Highly recommended.
Honestly, I am not a gusher with my compliments so when I say, this was THE BEST dental experience I have ever had in my 64 years of life, you can take it as truth! Plus, the office was able to schedule me on the same day I called as a new client. Extra kudos!
The staff was incredibly friendly and upbeat. The office and exam areas looked clean and organized. Most importantly, they were able to get me in quickly and arranged follow up appointments within the coming weeks around my schedule so I didn't have to wait months or take days off.
