Surgical Care for Your Jaw
What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery is outpatient treatment that involves surgery inside the mouth or along the jaw. For this service, we may remove a tooth, place bone graft material into a socket, smooth sharp bone ridges with alveoloplasty, or position a dental implant with a surgical guide. Bone grafting uses synthetic material as a scaffold while your own bone grows into place. These procedures are planned with the end result in mind and you go home the same day.
- Outpatient treatment, then home the same day
- Bone grafting uses synthetic scaffold material
- Implants are placed with a surgical guide
Heal with less stress
Benefits of Oral Surgery
When a tooth, bone, or jaw area needs more than routine care, the right treatment can make the next steps feel manageable instead of overwhelming. Oral surgery gives us a way to address those deeper concerns with a plan built around recovery and long-term stability. You can move forward knowing the problem has a clear path forward.
Go home the same day
This is an outpatient procedure, so you do not need a hospital stay after treatment. You can rest in your own space, follow your instructions at a familiar pace, and let your day settle back into a normal rhythm more quickly.
Create space for future teeth
When bone is preserved after an extraction, the area keeps more of its shape for what comes next. That can make later replacement more predictable and help you avoid the frustration of losing valuable support while you wait.
Reduce sharp pressure points
Smoothing uneven bone after extractions can make a removable denture feel more manageable and less irritating. You get a better fit, fewer sore spots, and a mouth that is easier to live with during everyday wear.
Support a steadier implant result
When the jaw has the right foundation, a replacement tooth has a stronger place to live. That stability can help you feel more at ease chewing, smiling, and trusting that your restoration is built on solid ground.
Protect nearby healthy teeth
Oral surgery can help us treat a problem area without putting extra strain on the teeth around it. That matters when you want to keep the rest of your smile working well and avoid unnecessary wear on healthy structure.
Recover with a clear plan
Knowing what to eat, how to rest, and what to expect after surgery can make healing feel less uncertain. You are not left guessing, which helps the recovery period feel calmer and more manageable from day to day.
Move forward with a stronger foundation and a smoother recovery.
Right for more people
Who benefits most from Oral Surgery?
If your mouth needs more than a standard fix, Oral Surgery may be the next step. We help you sort out whether your situation calls for a simple, outpatient approach that supports comfort and healing.
Needing space prepared
When a tooth has to come out before something new can go in, you may be a strong fit. Bone grafting helps preserve the area so your mouth has a solid foundation for the next phase.
Getting rid of rough edges
If dentures have to fit well after extractions, sharp jaw ridges can get in the way. You may need Oral Surgery to smooth those areas so your mouth feels less irritated and more balanced.
Pursuing implant support
A missing tooth can leave you wanting a more stable long-term solution. You may be a good candidate for guided implant placement when you want a thoughtful plan built around function and confidence.

What to expect
Oral surgery procedure steps for a smoother visit
A clear plan can make oral surgery feel more manageable. We keep the experience judgment-free and pressure-free, so you can stay calm while your care moves forward. You are not just a number, and your comfort stays front and center.
1
Start with a Plan
Your visit begins with a careful evaluation and a conversation about what has been bothering you. If you feel nervous, that is completely normal, and we make space for your questions so you can feel informed before anything starts. That first conversation helps you feel ready, not rushed.
2
The Surgery Visit
During the procedure, you stay in an outpatient setting and can head home afterward. Depending on your needs, this may involve a bone graft, alveoloplasty, or guided implant placement. The visit is designed to keep you comfortable while your care moves forward with precision.
3
Heal and Move Forward
Afterward, you go home to recover in familiar surroundings and rest with soft foods nearby. Over the next few months, the area heals and settles as your mouth adjusts. You walk away with a stronger foundation for future treatment and more peace of mind about what comes next.

Patient FAQs
Oral Surgery FAQs
Oral surgery can bring up a lot of practical questions about healing, comfort, and what happens after treatment. We keep the answers clear and judgment-free, and if you do not see your question below, reach out and we will walk you through it.
What oral surgery do we offer?
We provide outpatient oral surgery that includes bone grafting, alveoloplasty, and guided dental implant placement. Bone grafting can preserve the ridge after an extraction, while alveoloplasty, or bone ridge smoothing, helps prepare the jaw for a better denture fit.
Why would I need bone grafting after a tooth extraction?
When a tooth is removed, the supporting bone can begin to resorb, or shrink. Bone grafting places graft material in the socket to act as a scaffold for new bone, which helps maintain the height and width needed for a future implant.
What is alveoloplasty?
Alveoloplasty is also called bone ridge smoothing. We open the gums, remove sharp ridges of bone between extraction sites, and smooth the jaw bone so a removable denture can fit more comfortably and avoid pressure spots.
How do you place dental implants surgically?
We use a fully guided approach for implant placement. A cone beam CT scan and an intraoral scan help us create a surgical guide, and Dr. Feldman places the implant with the final crown in mind from the start.
Am I a good candidate for oral surgery?
That depends on what your mouth needs and how much healthy bone is available. We evaluate the area carefully and only recommend oral surgery when it is the right step for your situation, whether that means preserving bone or planning for a future implant.
What should I expect after oral surgery?
Most oral surgery outpatient, so you go home the same day and recover in your own space. You will usually want soft foods for about a week, and we give you clear instructions so you know what to expect during healing.
Is oral surgery serious?
Yes, like any surgery, it deserves careful planning. Even so, these procedures are done in an outpatient setting, not a hospital, and we keep your health in mind at every step. If surgery is needed, we talk through why before moving forward.
How long does bone graft healing take before an implant?
After ridge preservation, the grafted site usually needs about 3 to 4 months of healing before implant placement. That waiting period gives the bone time to develop enough support for a stable implant foundation.
What if I am nervous about surgery?
You are not alone, and we expect many patients to feel that way. Our approach is calm, conversational, and pressure-free, and we explain each step before we begin so you know exactly what is happening and why.
Why choose Gainesville Dentistry Co. for oral surgery?
We are a privately owned, dentist-led practice in Gainesville, FL with guided implant planning and experience in bone grafting and alveoloplasty. Dr. Feldman is a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and has completed extensive implant training.

What Our Patients Say
Hundreds of Five-Star Reviews Tell the Real Story
From restored confidence to pain-free comfort, our patients share stories that reflect what we believe dentistry should feel like.
I am a dentist myself that has hypocritically neglected/delayed my own dental work until some pain and discomfort started. I am very grateful to have a lot of options of dental colleagues and family that could treat me but I chose Dr. Feldman and his team at Gainesville Dentistry Co. without hesitation. My experience was incredible from every aspect.Whatever profession/field you’re in, think of a coworker or colleague that you may know and respect very highly. There are always these people that just really amaze you at just how incredible you can be at your same job, or maybe you see them and just get purely motivated. Dr Feldman, Dr Nassif, and his entire team/office is that for me in dentistry. What I admire and value the most as a dentist and a patient is quality, cleanliness, masterful skill, and the compassion to provide an ultimate patient experience to alleviate any anxiety. That is exactly what is perfected at this office and when I see that a business, especially a healthcare office, goes through this much effort in quality then I can immediately be confident in the outcomes of my care as well. Seriously every little detail is just so high quality and knowing myself exactly what goes in to every little step of a dental procedure, it really makes a huge difference. It’s like a chef eating at another restaurant would know when something is top notch service if that makes sense. I would confidently have my own family be seen at this office. Thank you to Jessica, Candace, and Heather as well! I truly can’t recommend this office enough and i’m very grateful to see them provide incredible service to the community and city of Gainesville!! I’m also glad to be out of tooth pain 😂

Today I went for a filling replacement, I haven’t been to the dentist in over 15 years because of prior bad experiences…. Today I also think I overcame my fears with the excellent treatment I got today, the shot to numb my gums was PAINLESS…. They were extremely comforting, gave me headphones and weighted blankets to help with my anxiety. By the time they got done I was almost asleep…. EXCELLENT SERVICE, EXCELLENT PAIN FREE WORK, 10/10, recommend them 10 times over. If you need dental work and are nervous please go here because they actually care.

I feel lucky to have found this place. It’s super clean (not just new-build clean- hygienic clean). Professional staff. Super stress free experience. No TV’s at the chairs (a plus for us). Upfront pricing discussed throughout. They use modern tech & tools for cleanings/x-rays/scans that feel way more gentle than traditional methods. I even took advantage of the Botox service when I realized it coincides with my regular cleaning visits. Office is located in a cute open-air boutique shopping village. One stop. Win-win.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs a dentist! 🙂 I hadn’t been to the dentist in a few years and was a bit anxious about my appointment, but Heather was super nice, accommodating, and explained everything to me in a very solution-oriented way during my cleaning/exams. Candace was also very sweet and informative when I called to confirm my appointment. Kim explained the payment plans really well and emphasized that I had a lot of options, which was especially helpful since I don’t have dental insurance. Dr. Feldman was very easy to talk to and reassuring, which really helped ease my nerves. The clinic itself was also super nice and welcoming. Overall, I was very happy with my visit and really appreciated how kind and accommodating everyone was!
