Oral Surgery in Leduc
Book OnlineWhat is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery is defined as any procedure that involves cutting into or removing tissue from the mouth. At Alexandra Park Dental, we perform a variety of oral surgeries as part of our holistic approach to dental care.

Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is beyond repair or restoration, it must be extracted from the jawbone to prevent infection and further decay.
Once we have completed the extraction, we will work with you to create an individualized plan on how to preserve and protect the void left by the pulled tooth. Options may include a dental implant or partial denture.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are typically the last set of teeth to come in. Because they emerge late, they can cause a variety of problems, including:
- Impactions: When there is not enough room for them to grow, wisdom teeth can cause pain and become infected.
- Alignment issues: Often wisdom teeth emerge through the gum line at an angle, misaligned, or crooked. This not only impacts your bite but can cause spacing issues with other teeth.
- Entrapment issues: If a wisdom tooth does not emerge cleanly, it can stay trapped in the jawbone, causing pain and discomfort.
Sometimes, wisdom teeth will emerge without any problem. However, if they do cause an issue, our dental professionals may recommend extraction to address the problem. Tooth extractions are an outpatient procedure that we can perform here in our clinic in Leduc.
Bone Grafting
Often done to prepare the jaw for dental implants, bone grafting is a surgical procedure that involves taking a piece of bone from one part of the body and grafting it onto a different site. The newly grafted bone builds up the site, making it stronger and more robust.
Pain Relief Methods
At Alexandra Park Dental, it’s important to us that your experience is as comfortable and pain-free as possible. To help ensure your visit leaves you smiling, we offer several pain relief methods for our patients, including:
For most of our dental procedures, we use local anesthesia. Anesthetic is administered via injection to temporarily numb the surrounding area, minimizing or even preventing pain and discomfort.
If the thought of going to the dentist makes you anxious, you may want to talk to your dentist about conscious sedation.
Conscious sedation can be taken in tablet form or delivered using a breathing mask (in the case of nitrous oxide). We use only mild sedatives, which make you feel groggy or tired but aren’t heavy enough to put you to sleep. This means that most patients can relax enough to feel calm but remain coherent enough to follow basic directions.
