We offer IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide so you can choose the comfort level that’s right for you.
Oral Surgery Services We Offer in Houston
Our oral and maxillofacial surgery team provides comprehensive surgical services to address a wide range of dental and facial conditions. Below are the core procedures available at our Houston practice:
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, crowding, and damage to adjacent teeth. Our surgeons specialize in wisdom teeth removal in Houston, using 3D cone-beam imaging to map the exact position of each tooth relative to nerves and sinuses. Most patients undergo the procedure under IV sedation and return to normal activities within 3–5 days. We remove all four wisdom teeth in a single visit when clinically appropriate, reducing the need for multiple surgeries.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is too damaged by decay, fracture, or infection to be saved, a surgical extraction may be necessary. Our Houston oral surgeons perform both simple and surgical tooth extractions with precision and minimal discomfort. We also offer socket preservation bone grafting at the time of extraction to prepare the site for a future dental implant, helping maintain jawbone volume and facial structure.
Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, and proper surgical placement is critical to long-term success. Our oral surgeons place single implants, implant-supported bridges, and full-arch solutions including All-on-4 implants. Using computer-guided surgery and 3D treatment planning, we achieve predictable results with faster healing times. Learn more about our dental implant services →
Bone Grafting & Sinus Lifts
Patients who have experienced bone loss due to tooth extraction, periodontal disease, or prolonged denture wear may require bone grafting before implant placement. Our surgeons perform ridge augmentation, socket grafting, and sinus lift procedures using biocompatible graft materials to restore adequate bone volume. Explore bone grafting procedures →
Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)
Misaligned jaws can cause difficulty chewing, chronic TMJ pain, sleep apnea, and facial asymmetry. Jaw surgery in Houston at Omega Dental Specialists corrects skeletal discrepancies that braces or aligners alone cannot fix. Our surgeons work closely with your orthodontist to plan and execute orthognathic procedures that improve both function and facial aesthetics.
Sedation Dentistry & IV Sedation
Dental anxiety should never prevent you from getting the care you need. We offer multiple levels of sedation for oral surgery procedures: nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild anxiety, oral sedation for moderate relaxation, and IV sedation for deeper comfort during complex procedures. Our team monitors your vitals throughout the entire procedure to ensure maximum safety. Learn about sedation options →

When Should You See an Oral Surgeon?
While general dentists handle many dental procedures, certain conditions require the specialized training and surgical expertise of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. You may need to see an oral surgeon in Houston if you experience any of the following:
Wisdom teeth that are trapped beneath the gum line or growing at an angle require surgical extraction to prevent infection, cyst formation, and damage to neighboring teeth.
Abscesses, cysts, or infections that don’t respond to antibiotics may require surgical drainage, tooth extraction, or removal of infected bone tissue.
Chronic jaw pain, clicking, locking, or limited opening that doesn’t improve with conservative treatment may benefit from surgical intervention or corrective jaw surgery.
Replacing missing teeth with implants requires surgical placement into the jawbone, often preceded by bone grafting or sinus augmentation procedures.
Fractured jaws, knocked-out teeth, or facial lacerations following an accident or sports injury often require emergency oral surgery and reconstruction.
Exposing impacted canines, removing supernumerary teeth, or correcting skeletal discrepancies before or during orthodontic treatment requires oral surgery expertise.
