Dentoalveolar Surgery

At Roseville Oral Surgery Center, Dr. Samer Albadawi and our team focus on clear explanations, thoughtful treatment planning, and comfortable care. We use modern imaging and digital technology, including a CBCT scanner, intraoral scanner, and in-office 3D printer, when appropriate, to help plan treatment.

If you feel anxious about treatment, sedation options are available. Depending on your procedure and health needs, we may recommend local anesthesia, oral sedation, or IV sedation. We also coordinate with referring dentists when extractions or pre-prosthetic treatment need to align with future restorative care.

Dentoalveolar surgery may be recommended when a tooth cannot be restored, is impacted, causes infection, or interferes with dentures, implants, or other dental treatment.

Common reasons for treatment include:

• Painful or non-restorable teeth

• Impacted teeth, including wisdom teeth

• Teeth that interfere with dentures or implant treatment

• Dental infections that could affect the surrounding teeth or tissues

• Bone that needs reshaping before dentures or other prosthetic treatment

• Bony spicules or unerupted tooth fragments that need to be removed

Pre-prosthetic surgery may include smoothing or reshaping the jawbone so future dentures, bridges, or other restorations can fit more comfortably. Whenever possible, we use conservative techniques designed to preserve bone and support future treatment.

Your visit begins with a focused examination and a review of your medical and dental history. Dr. Albadawi may use CBCT imaging and an intraoral scan to evaluate your teeth, jawbone, sinuses, nerves, and other important structures.

After reviewing your case, we will explain your treatment options, expected timeline, and likely recovery. If teeth need to be removed before dentures, implants, or another restoration, we plan treatment with that future care in mind.

We also review your medications and overall health and measure your vital signs before procedures. When helpful, digital scans may be used to create models or surgical guides that match your anatomy.

Roseville Oral Surgery Center provides a range of dentoalveolar procedures, including:

• Simple and surgical tooth extractions

• Removal of impacted teeth

• Pre-prosthetic bone smoothing

• Alveoloplasty

• Removal of bony spicules

• Removal of unerupted tooth fragments

Local anesthesia is used for procedures, and additional sedation options may be available when appropriate.

We use atraumatic surgical techniques whenever possible to protect surrounding teeth and preserve bone. In select cases, our intraoral scanner and in-office 3D printer may also be used to create models or guides that assist with treatment and restorative planning.

Recovery after dentoalveolar surgery varies based on the procedure, your overall health, and the complexity of treatment. Some patients can return to many normal activities within a day or two, while more involved procedures may require additional recovery time.

Swelling and soreness are common after oral surgery and may increase during the first couple of days before gradually improving. We provide written aftercare instructions and explain what you can expect during healing.

Typical recommendations may include:

• Resting after your procedure

• Using cold packs as directed

• Following instructions for pain management

• Eating an appropriate diet while the surgical area heals

• Keeping your mouth clean according to your postoperative instructions

• Returning for follow-up visits when recommended

We may call after certain procedures to check on your progress. If there are concerns about healing, our team can address them early.

Contact Roseville Oral Surgery Center if you experience heavy bleeding, uncontrolled pain, fever, or numbness that does not improve, or if you have other concerns about your recovery.

Dr. Samer Albadawi brings years of surgical experience to both routine and complex dentoalveolar procedures. Our practice combines surgical care with modern digital technology, including CBCT imaging, intraoral scanning, and in-office 3D printing when these tools are helpful for treatment planning.

We also place a strong emphasis on communication. Before treatment, we explain your options and answer your questions so you know what to expect. Our surgical assistants and patient coordinators are available to help with follow-up questions, and we work closely with referring dentists when treatment is part of a larger restorative plan.

Free Wi-Fi is available in our waiting area for patients and families during appointments.

Healing time depends on the type of procedure and your overall health. A simple extraction may require less recovery time than a surgical extraction or a more extensive pre-prosthetic procedure. Dr. Albadawi will give you guidance based on your specific treatment.

Often, yes. When future implant treatment is being considered, we plan extractions and other procedures with bone preservation in mind whenever possible. Your dentist and oral surgeon can help determine the appropriate timing for your restorative treatment.

Anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Depending on your needs, local anesthesia, oral sedation, or IV sedation may be appropriate. After treatment, we provide instructions for managing soreness, swelling, and other expected symptoms.

Some patients return to work or other routine activities within a day or two, while others need additional recovery time. The appropriate timeline depends on your procedure, your health, and how physically demanding your job is.

Pre-prosthetic surgery prepares the mouth and jawbone for future restorative treatment. It may involve smoothing or reshaping bone, removing bony spicules, or addressing other areas that could interfere with the fit of dentures, bridges, or other restorations.
