If you want a healthier mouth, your dentist may recommend dental surgery to make that a reality. While no one likes to hear they need oral surgery in Key West, it can transform your smile and make it fully functional again. Whether infected teeth, a receding gumline, or missing teeth are causing the problem, our team can:
Call 305-990-2532 for an appointment. Our office is open as early as 7 a.m. and as late as 7 p.m. during the week.
Our team is here to make sure your smile is in top shape. Surgery is only recommended when absolutely necessary. Your dentist can gently remove troublesome teeth, including wisdom teeth, to keep your smile healthy. If you’re missing teeth, you can gain natural-looking replacements with implants to bring back your confident smile.
You may need a stronger jaw for your new teeth, and your dentist can restore it to give your smile a solid foundation. We even offer cosmetic gum surgery, so you can show off a healthy gumline. Whatever your smile needs, your dentist will explain what’s involved and address any concerns.
Needing extensive dental procedures can feel nerve-wracking. That’s why our team offers ways to help you feel at ease during your surgical procedure. You can choose laughing gas that keeps you awake but worry-free. Or you can take a small FDA-approved pill before your appointment to help you feel more deeply relaxed.
Your dentist also uses advanced healing techniques and cutting-edge technology like lasers to ensure your surgery and recovery go smoothly. You can get the care you need, without the worry, at our practice!

Tooth extraction is often needed if a tooth is too damaged to repair or if it is damaging your other teeth. In some cases, you need to have teeth removed to make room for dentures or another dental restoration. If necessary, we’ll recommend a bone graft to ensure your jaw is strong enough to support dental implants. Your dentist may also recommend surgery to restore your gumline.
For the first 24 hours after your oral surgery, you should not exercise at all. Doing too much too fast can actually create problems and prolong healing. Overexertion can loosen the blood clot from an extraction site and cause a painful condition known as dry socket. After the first 24 hours, limit your exercise to low-impact activities for several more days.
Many people do feel soreness after oral surgery, but that fades as you recover. If anything, oral surgery is done to alleviate pain and long-term oral health problems. Our dental professionals will be happy to advise you on the best way to recover from your surgery so you can get back to feeling like yourself as soon as possible.
