Our in-house oral surgeries include:
Sinus Lift Surgery
A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that is often necessary for patients who need dental implants in the upper jaw. During a sinus lift, the maxillary sinus, which is located above the upper teeth, is lifted to create more space for the dental implant. This procedure is typically performed by an oral surgeon.
To learn more about sinus lifts and to schedule a consultation with our experienced dentist, please contact Spring Hope Family Dentistry.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often grow at an angle or are partially or fully covered by gum tissue, making them difficult to erupt properly. This condition, known as impaction, can lead to a range of problems. To prevent these problems, many dentists recommend removing impacted wisdom teeth before they cause significant issues.
Our experienced dentist at Spring Hope Family Dentistry is skilled in the safe and effective removal of impacted wisdom teeth, including those that require partial-bony surgery. Partial-bony surgery is a procedure that involves removing a portion of the jawbone to access the impacted tooth. This may be necessary in cases where the wisdom tooth is deeply impacted or if there is a significant amount of bone covering the tooth.
Gum Therapy for Gum Disease Treatment
Gum surgery, also known as periodontal surgery, is a procedure designed to address gum disease. It can involve scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar, or more complex procedures to repair damaged gum tissue and bone. Gum surgery can help prevent tooth loss and improve your overall oral health.

Dental Extractions
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure that may be necessary for various reasons, including:
- Severe tooth decay: When a tooth is severely damaged by decay, it may no longer be possible to restore it. In such cases, extraction may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection and pain.
- Impacted wisdom teeth: Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often become impacted and can cause pain, swelling, and infection. If an impacted wisdom tooth cannot be successfully treated, extraction may be recommended.
- Preparation for other dental procedures: In some cases, tooth extraction may be necessary to prepare for other dental procedures, such as dental implants or orthodontics.
Our experienced dentist at Spring Hope Family Dentistry is skilled in performing tooth extractions safely and effectively. We will carefully evaluate your situation to determine if extraction is the best course of action and to ensure a comfortable and minimally invasive procedure.
Root Canals
A root canal is a procedure used to treat a tooth that has become infected or damaged. It involves removing the infected or damaged pulp (the soft, inner tissue of the tooth) and filling the root canals with a special material. This procedure helps to save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
Dr. Abboud may recommend gentle root canal therapy to:
- Preserves natural teeth: Root canals can help you keep your natural teeth, which is often preferable to having a tooth extracted.
- Relieves pain: A root canal can relieve pain and discomfort caused by an infected or damaged tooth.
- Improves oral health: By saving a tooth, root canal therapy can help prevent the spread of infection and maintain overall oral health.
At your root canal consultation, Dr. Elie Abboud and his team will evaluate your situation and determine if a root canal is the right treatment for you.
The Wand® "Pain Free" Injections
The Wand® is a computerized anesthetic delivery system that provides a more comfortable injection experience compared to traditional needles. It uses a gentle, pulsating pressure to deliver anesthesia, reducing the sensation of the needle and the pain associated with injections. This innovative technology makes dental procedures more pleasant for patients of all ages.
