Our Surgical Services
We perform a wide range of outpatient procedures designed to restore oral health, improve function, and address underlying structural concerns. Each service is supported by diagnostic imaging and modern sedation options to ensure comfort and accuracy.
Explore our surgical services below:

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a natural way to enhance that process. By concentrating growth factors from your own blood, PRP supports faster healing and reduced inflammation at the surgical site.

Impacted Canines
Permanent canines play a crucial role in maintaining proper bite alignment, supporting the dental arch, and enhancing facial symmetry, but when these teeth become impacted—unable to erupt due to obstruction or misdirection—they can cause both functional and aesthetic issues.

Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
Proper preparation of the mouth is often essential before placing a denture or other oral prosthetic, especially when the shape of the bone or soft tissue could interfere with fit or comfort.

Bone Grafting
At Hehr Oral Surgery, we offer advanced bone grafting procedures to rebuild lost bone, restore structural integrity, and maintain proper oral function.

Corrective Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery—also called orthognathic surgery—addresses these structural issues by repositioning the jaws to restore proper function and facial balance.

Sinus Lift
A sinus lift—also called sinus augmentation—is a specialized surgical procedure that adds bone to the maxillary sinus, creating the necessary support for secure, long-lasting implant placement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Surgical Procedures at Hehr Oral Surgery
How do I prepare for my oral surgery appointment?
We provide pre-operative instructions tailored to your procedure, which may include fasting, pausing certain medications, or arranging post-surgical care. You’ll receive clear, written guidance before your scheduled surgery.
Can multiple surgical treatments be completed in one visit?
In many cases, yes. When appropriate and safe, procedures like extractions and grafting can be combined in a single appointment. We’ll review your treatment plan to determine the most efficient and comfortable approach.
What safety protocols are in place during surgery?
Our surgical suites are equipped with advanced monitoring equipment, and all procedures are performed under strict sterilization and safety standards. Dr. Hehr and our team follow hospital-grade protocols to ensure your well-being.
Will someone need to come with me on the day of surgery?
Yes. If your procedure involves sedation or anesthesia, you’ll need a responsible adult to drive you home and remain with you for several hours afterward.
How soon can I resume normal activities after surgery?
It depends on the nature of the procedure. Some patients return to work or school within a day or two, while others require more time. We’ll provide recovery guidelines based on your individual case.
