WHY MIGHT YOU NEED ORAL SURGERY?
Not every dental issue can be resolved with routine cleanings, fillings, or non-invasive procedures. Sometimes, oral surgery is the only way to correct structural or functional issues that threaten your oral health or quality of life. If you’re dealing with persistent dental pain, bite problems, or missing teeth, your dentist may recommend surgical treatment as the most effective path forward.
One of the most common reasons patients require oral surgery is to remove impacted teeth—especially wisdom teeth that don't have enough room to emerge properly. Impacted teeth can cause swelling, infection, jaw stiffness, and damage to adjacent teeth. In these cases, extraction through surgical intervention becomes essential to protect the rest of your smile.

Oral surgery is also often necessary for patients with advanced periodontal disease. In cases where gum tissue has severely receded or infection has damaged the supporting bone, procedures such as gum grafting or bone grafting can help restore oral health and prevent tooth loss. Patients looking to replace missing teeth with dental implants also undergo surgery to secure the titanium posts that serve as artificial tooth roots.
Injury or trauma to the face may also necessitate surgical treatment. Accidents involving facial bones, teeth, or soft tissue often require intervention by a specialist with extensive experience in oral surgery and facial anatomy. From repairing broken jaws to repositioning displaced teeth, the skill of your surgeon is critical to successful recovery.
Cosmetic concerns can also be a driving factor. For example, someone with an uneven gum line or a “gummy smile” might benefit from crown lengthening or a gum lift. These procedures fall under the category of oral surgery, but they are focused on enhancing the appearance and balance of your smile—often as part of a comprehensive cosmetic dental plan.
It's important to note that successful surgical outcomes rely on a practitioner with both technical skill and clinical judgment. At Simply Smiles, your care is led by a surgical team with extensive experience treating a wide range of conditions. From diagnostics to recovery, we deliver precision and safety at every step. Whether your case is medically necessary, functionally important, or cosmetically motivated, our team is here to help you achieve the healthiest, most confident smile possible.
WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTIONS
For the most part, we want to help you keep all of your teeth for your lifetime—except for your wisdom teeth. More often than not, these teeth, also called third molars, must be surgically removed to avoid complications that can lead to pressure on adjacent teeth, facial pain, or even infection. Our skilled oral surgery team, including board-certified oral surgeons, expertly perform wisdom tooth removals in the same office where you receive your routine care.
Wisdom teeth extractions are typically performed under local anesthesia, with the option of sedation to ensure your comfort. Our team’s extensive experience means your procedure is efficient, safe, and designed to minimize recovery time. We also offer clear aftercare instructions and follow-up visits to monitor healing and reduce the risk of post-surgical complications such as dry socket or infection. If you have a wisdom tooth that is causing discomfort or swelling, call your Ashburn, VA dentist to schedule an evaluation.
DENTAL IMPLANTS
For our patients who are missing one or more teeth, we offer dental implants—a permanent, natural-looking replacement option. These lifelike restorations require oral surgery to place the implants securely into the jawbone. Made of biocompatible titanium, dental implants integrate with surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.
In addition to restoring your smile, implants help preserve facial structure by stimulating the jawbone and preventing bone loss. Whether you are having a single implant with a porcelain crown or need to replace multiple teeth, our implant specialists offer the precision and care required for long-term success.
Patients appreciate the function and appearance of dental implants, and thanks to our team’s extensive experience, the process is streamlined and supported from start to finish. We use advanced diagnostics and 3D imaging to plan your procedure and deliver optimal results. We also coordinate closely with your general dentist or prosthodontist to ensure your final restoration looks and feels completely natural.
CROWN LENGTHENING
There are two components to everyone’s smile: your teeth and your gums. These need to be in balance for your smile to look attractive. For patients with excess gum tissue or a “gummy” smile, we offer crown lengthening. During this surgical procedure, our oral surgeon removes minimal amounts of gum and bone tissue to expose more of the natural tooth surface.
Crown lengthening can be purely cosmetic, improving the proportions of your smile, or it may be necessary before a restorative procedure such as placing a dental crown. When more tooth structure is needed to anchor a restoration, crown lengthening ensures that the final result is secure and long-lasting. Our team’s extensive experience in surgical planning allows us to tailor each procedure to your unique dental needs.

This procedure is also used in some cases to help treat gum disease, giving your periodontist or hygienist better access to clean infected areas and promote healing. We collaborate with other specialists as needed to deliver comprehensive care.
PRE-SURGICAL CONSULTATION & PATIENT EDUCATION
In every case, we begin with a thorough oral evaluation. Our providers review your dental history, take necessary digital imaging, and discuss all aspects of your care. We believe in transparent communication—you’ll always know what to expect before, during, and after your procedure.
We’ll explain how to prepare for surgery, what recovery may look like, and provide step-by-step instructions for post-operative care. Our team is always available to answer your questions and help you feel at ease. We pride ourselves on creating a calm, supportive environment, especially for patients who may feel anxious about
oral surgery.
