Missing teeth can impact your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Dental implants offer a lasting solution by replacing the tooth root and providing support for a crown, bridge, or denture. The implant is securely placed in the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for a natural-looking result.
If you are considering dental implants in Thomasville, we start with an exam and imaging to plan the safest approach. Some patients need additional support before implant placement, such as bone grafting. We can also coordinate with your general dentist to support a smooth path from surgical treatment to final restoration.

Wisdom teeth don’t always emerge properly. When they are impacted or erupt at an angle, they can lead to pain, swelling, infection, or pressure on surrounding teeth. We assess each patient individually, considering symptoms, X-rays, and risk factors to determine the best timing for removal. If extraction is necessary, we plan the procedure to promote healing and minimize future issues. Sedation or IV sedation may be used as needed, and you’ll have the opportunity to review our anesthesia and sedation options before treatment.
Some teeth cannot be removed safely in a routine dental setting. This can happen when a tooth is broken below the gumline, severely infected, or impacted. In those cases, surgical extraction may be recommended to protect nearby teeth and bone.
We plan tooth extractions with a clinical exam and imaging to make the procedure as efficient and predictable as possible. Local anesthesia is used, and sedation may be recommended when appropriate, based on your needs and the complexity of the extraction.

TMJ refers to the jaw joint. TMJ problems can lead to jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping, or discomfort when chewing. Many cases improve with conservative care, but some patients need a more detailed surgical evaluation.
At Southwest Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in Thomasville, we evaluate TMJ concerns using an exam and imaging when needed. Then we clearly explain your options, focusing on reducing pain, improving function, and supporting long-term jaw health.
