What we do.
At Oral Surgery +, we excel in conducting wisdom teeth removal procedures. Our streamlined system and expert training empower our team of surgeons and nurses to manage a substantially greater number of wisdom teeth extractions per day than an individual surgeon typically could.
How.
Our oral surgeries are meticulously organized and carried out to secure optimal results. It all begins with an initial consultation, during which we review your medical history and specific requirements. Cutting-edge imaging technologies such as X-rays or 3D scans aid in precise surgical preparation.
On the surgery day, anesthesia is administered for your comfort. The surgeon creates a small opening in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and surrounding bone. The tooth is then delicately extracted, sometimes in segments for easier removal. Following extraction, the area is thoroughly cleansed, and the opening is closed with stitches.
Postoperative care involves comprehensive guidance on managing pain, swelling, and promoting proper healing. Follow-up appointments ensure your steady recovery and address any further needs. Our comprehensive approach guarantees a safe and efficient oral surgery journey.
Why.
Oral surgery plays a crucial role in resolving intricate dental issues beyond the scope of general dental care. Here are some primary reasons why oral surgery may be indispensable:
- Wisdom Teeth Extraction: Impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth can trigger discomfort, infection, and harm to neighboring teeth. Extracting them averts these complications.
- Corrective Jaw Surgery: Jaw misalignments can hinder chewing, speech, and breathing. Corrective surgery enhances function and facial aesthetics.
- Management of Oral Diseases: Conditions like cysts, tumors, and severe infections necessitate surgical intervention for comprehensive treatment and prevention of further complications.
- Relief from Chronic Pain: Conditions like TMJ disorders and severe gum disease may require surgical remedies to alleviate pain and enhance quality of life.
At Oral Surgery + of Lafayette and Wisdom Teeth of Louisiana, our specialized proficiency and advanced methodologies guarantee effective, secure, and comfortable oral surgery care.

Wisdom Teeth
At Oral Surgery + Lafayette, we specialize in the expert extraction of wisdom teeth to ensure the health and well-being of our patients. Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a common procedure performed to restore or augment bone in the jaw, typically in preparation for dental implants or to address bone loss resulting from trauma or periodontal disease.
Facial Trauma
Facial trauma, resulting from accidents, sports injuries, or other incidents, can cause significant physical and emotional distress. At Oral Surgery + Lafayette, our experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of facial trauma to restore function, aesthetics, and confidence.
Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
Pre-prosthetic surgery is a specialized branch of oral surgery focused on preparing the mouth and surrounding structures to ensure optimal outcomes for dental prosthetic treatment, such as dentures or dental implants.
Anesthesia
At Oral Surgery + Lafayette, patient comfort and safety are our top priorities. To ensure a positive and pain-free experience during oral surgical procedures, we offer a range of anesthesia options administered by our skilled team of anesthesia providers.
Extractions
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure performed to remove damaged, decayed, or problematic teeth that cannot be restored. At Oral Surgery + Lafayette, our skilled oral surgeons specialize in tooth extractions to alleviate pain, prevent infection, and preserve overall oral health.
Impacted Canines
Impacted canines, also known as impacted teeth, occur when the canine teeth (also called eye teeth or cuspids) fail to erupt properly into the dental arch. This condition can lead to various complications, including dental misalignment, bite problems, and potential damage to adjacent teeth.
Oral Pathology
Oral pathology encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and abnormalities affecting the mouth, jaws, and related structures. At Oral Surgery + Lafayette, our skilled oral surgeons specialize in oral pathology services to diagnose and manage a wide range of conditions, from benign lesions to oral cancer.
