Visit Us For Comfortable Oral Surgery in Waco

Dental surgery is simply a fact of life for many people. One day you, too, may need oral surgery in Waco. If so, you can rely on the decades of experience of our father-and-sons dental team to care for your smile. Starr General Dentistry offers you all these benefits when you need an oral surgical procedure:

Comfortable, Relaxed Procedures Read Transcript
Comfortable, Relaxed Procedures

A lot of patients, do have a fear of oral surgery, of having a tooth removed or having an implant placed or multiple teeth removed. The nature of dental anesthetics today, of local anesthetics are so much stronger than the days where you just had Novocaine. So we make sure a patient is profoundly numb before we begin any procedure, whether it's oral surgery or restorative dentistry. Also, to ease anxiety, I always tell a patient, if you need me to stop for any reason, just raise your hand. And it's amazing a lot of times the patient will raise their hand at the very beginning, just to make sure that I'm stopping what I'm doing and then they never raise their hand again.

So I think giving patients that ability to communicate when their mouth with what they might think is an uncomfortable situation. Also, for oral surgery, we do offer sedation. A lot of patients will elect to do simply nitrous oxide or laughing gas. We also can give patients oral sedation where they can take a pill before they come back. And it makes them very sleepy. And a lot of times they don't remember the procedure. So that's helpful as well.

  • Your choice of two sedation options – inhaled sedation or oral conscious sedation
  • Comforting amenities that include pillows for head and neck support and cozy blankets for a touch of home
  • Advanced technology like digital X-rays that are more precise and expose you to a fraction of the radiation of traditional X-rays
  • A compassionate staff who will gladly take time to answer all your questions

When you need surgery done on your mouth, Starr General Dentistry is the place to go. Call us today at 254-401-0129 to schedule your consultation.

Your Smile Will Be in Good Hands Here

The team at Starr General Dentistry offers you several types of oral surgery. In many cases, this allows you to go to your familiar, hometown dentist for your surgery rather than spending time and money visiting a specialist. We perform all these procedures right in our office:

  • Tooth Removal – If saving your tooth isn’t possible or beneficial, we’ll remove it to relieve your pain and help you avoid further problems with your oral health.
  • Wisdom Teeth Extractions – When these teeth come through in the wrong place or crowd your other teeth, we can safely remove them to prevent pain and complications.
  • Bone Grafts – A bone grafting procedure will prepare a weak or thin jawbone to receive dental implants so that you can replace your missing teeth.
  • Sinus Lifts – This is a bone graft done on your upper jaw to make the bone healthy enough for implants and make room for them.
  • Ridge Augmentations – This procedure may be done after you lose teeth to build up the jaw ridge. This will prepare it for implants or make it look more attractive.
  • Gum Grafts – Your dentist can place gum tissue from the roof of your mouth on areas where your gums have receded, restoring their appearance and health.

Oral surgery in Waco can keep your mouth healthy. Call Starr General Dentistry today to schedule your consultation, or make an appointment .

Love and highly recommend Starr General Dentistry! The dentists, hygienists, assistants, schedulers and other staff are all very professional and friendly. Drs. Taylor and Martin Starr continue to carry on the excellence established by their beloved dad, Dr. Kent Starr, having worked with him in the practice for many years. Dental hygienist, Kelly is the best! She is professional, personal and has a great sense of humor! I just moved my dad to Waco and couldn’t imagine him going to any dentist other than Drs. Taylor and Martin Starr.

Common Questions About Oral Surgery

What are oral surgery procedures?

At Starr General Dentistry, we are proud that we can offer a variety of oral surgical procedures at our office. This starts with tooth extractions, including wisdom tooth removal. You also can get a bone graft, sinus lift, or ridge augmentation to build up your jawbone. If you’ve suffered from receding gums, we can provide a gum graft, too.

Will oral surgery hurt?

At our practice, we do everything we can to make your dental surgery as painless as it can be. This starts with helping you get cozy with blankets and pillows. We will numb the area being worked on and offer two kinds of dental sedation to keep you pain-free during your procedure. Now, you are likely to experience some soreness as you recover, but we’ll advise you on how to best manage that.

Can oral surgery be covered by medical insurance?

Medical insurance often does not cover oral surgery. Your dental insurance plan, however, may help you with the cost of your oral surgery, depending on your plan and provider. Our team will work with you and your provider to get you the maximum benefit. At the same time, you should know that we offer multiple payment options for our patients. We want you to get the treatment you need without breaking your budget.
