Surgical Services

Extractions

Removal of Teeth

Dr. Bernhard provides extractions for all but the most difficult cases

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is frequently needed as part of the extraction process in order to maintain or increase the amount of bone needed for implants or to keep the right contours of tissue for a natural appearance where bridges are planned.

Biopsies

The Removal of Tissue for Microscopic Examination

When oral tissue is found that does not appear normal, a sample is removed and sent for laboratory analysis and to make a diagnosis. This service is performed in our office.

Gum Surgery

As part of the treatment for gum disease gum surgery is utilized to eliminate pockets and bone defects and to make it possible for you to maintain better home care.

When a tooth is planned for extensive restoration it is sometimes necessary to  reposition the gums to expose more of the tooth.
