Extractions & Socket Preservation

Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary when we cannot save a tooth due to decay, infection, or trauma. We perform both simple and complex extractions with great attention to comfort and precision. Using modern tools and local anesthesia, Dr. Teodoro minimizes discomfort and helps patients experience a stress-free procedure.

After an extraction, maintaining the integrity of your jawbone is critical to avoid long-term bone loss. Our socket preservation technique involves placing bone grafting material into the socket immediately after we remove the tooth. This prevents the bone from collapsing and maintains the natural contour of your gums and jaw. Socket preservation also helps prepare the site for future dental implant placement, reducing the need for additional grafting later on.

In many cases, this proactive approach enables patients to receive implants sooner, with improved stability and long-term success.

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically erupt in the late teens or early twenties. Because the jaw often lacks sufficient space for them to erupt properly, these teeth can become impacted, leading to pain, infection, swelling, or the shifting of nearby teeth. We specialize in the careful removal of wisdom teeth to ensure your oral health is protected.

Dr. Teodoro utilizes advanced imaging technology to assess the position of your wisdom teeth before the procedure, ensuring precise planning. During extraction, he employs minimally invasive techniques to reduce tissue trauma, bleeding, and recovery time. Patients often report easier healing and less swelling thanks to the use of PRF and PRP therapy to support tissue regeneration. Following surgery, our team provides thorough post-operative instructions and personalized follow-up care.

PRF / PRP (Platelet-Rich Fibrin / Platelet-Rich Plasma)

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) are revolutionary biological techniques that enhance the body’s natural healing process. These therapies involve drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge to isolate platelets and growth factors, and applying the concentrated material to surgical sites.

The growth factors in PRF and PRP accelerate healing by stimulating the formation of new cells and enhancing blood supply to the affected area. These treatments reduce inflammation, minimize pain, and shorten overall recovery time. They are particularly beneficial for bone grafting, extractions, implant placement, and sinus lift procedures. Because the material comes from your own body, PRF and PRP are biocompatible.

By integrating these regenerative techniques into most oral surgeries, Dr. Teodoro helps patients heal more quickly and achieve stronger, healthier outcomes.

Oral Pathology & Biopsy

Detecting and diagnosing oral diseases early is essential for effective treatment. Oral pathology focuses on identifying abnormal tissue changes that could indicate conditions such as infections, cysts, precancerous lesions, or oral cancer. Dr. Teodoro performs comprehensive oral examinations to evaluate any unusual lumps, sores, or discolorations in the mouth.

When further evaluation is necessary, we can perform a biopsy. This involves gently removing a small tissue sample for microscopic analysis. Dr. Teodoro conducts biopsies with precision and care, ensuring patients experience minimal discomfort. We review results thoroughly to determine the best treatment plan. Early diagnosis not only protects your health but also provides peace of mind through proactive care.

Sinus Lift

The upper back jaw is one of the most challenging areas for dental implants due to its proximity to the sinus cavity. When teeth in this region are lost, the sinus may expand downward, leaving insufficient bone height for implants. A sinus lift corrects this issue by raising the sinus membrane and placing bone grafting material beneath it.

During the procedure, Dr. Teodoro makes a small opening in the bone, gently lifts the sinus membrane, and fills the space with bone graft material. Over several months, the graft integrates with your natural bone, creating a strong foundation for implant placement. The procedure is safe, predictable, and has a high success rate.

Patients who undergo sinus lifts often benefit from improved implant longevity and function, as well as enhanced facial structure and symmetry.

Ridge Augmentation & Reconstruction

Following tooth loss, injury, or periodontal disease, the jawbone may lose height and width. Ridge augmentation or ridge reconstruction rebuilds this lost bone, restoring both function and appearance. Dr. Teodoro uses advanced grafting materials and techniques to recreate the natural contours of the jawline.

This procedure is essential for patients planning to receive dental implants, as it ensures there is enough bone to anchor implants securely. Ridge augmentation also enhances the aesthetic outcome of restorations, resulting in a natural, balanced smile.

Dr. Teodoro tailors every treatment plan to the patient’s unique needs. Whether rebuilding the ridge with particulate bone grafts, block grafts, or membranes, the goal remains the same—to achieve lasting stability and beautiful results.
