Our Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Procedures
Our team has experience providing a wide range of oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures from our Oakville dental office, including:
Wisdom Teeth Removals
A wisdom tooth extraction is a common oral surgery procedure that most people will require at some point when they are a young adult. This procedure is important because it prevents the risk of future decay or infection, due to impacted teeth in your upper or lower jaw.
At Dr. Simon Pong Dentistry, we have years of experience in wisdom teeth removals and can provide a consultation with x-rays to let you know if this procedure will be necessary for you.

Tooth Extractions
If you have a broken, damaged, or decaying tooth, there are a number of options for treatment before tooth extraction. These include filings, crowns, or other treatments such as bone grafts (see below).
In rare cases, these treatments will not be possible and your dentist will need to perform a tooth extraction. Usually, these extractions are only necessary when there is not enough room in your mouth to allow new teeth to grow in or to perform future orthodontic work to correct your smile or bite.
The team at Dr. Simon Pong can perform a range of procedures from routine to complicated tooth extractions, in a wide range of situations. If you are looking for a tooth extraction, schedule an examination with our team today to learn more about your options.
If you are missing one or more teeth, then a dental implant is a great option that can help improve your long-term dental health. Missing teeth are a serious issue that can cause your facial structure to change, create unnecessary pain, and lead to other health problems.
In some cases, a dental implant will not be possible without an additional bone graft procedure. This procedure is used to strengthen the material of your jaw bone to ensure that your future implant will be strong and stable after your surgery.
Dr. Simon Pong can assist with both dental implant placements and bone graft procedures to support your implant. Contact our team today to book a consultation and learn more about these procedures.
If your child or teen’s teeth have not emerged properly from the jaw and gums, then it is sometimes necessary for an orthodontic exposure to assist in the process. This type of oral surgery is designed to help bring impacted teeth into the correct position in the mouth.
Orthodontic exposures involve a range of techniques, from the removal of gum tissue to bonding the tooth to a neighbouring tooth. Dr. Simon Pong and his team have in-depth experience with orthodontic exposures and can help you understand what is involved in the procedure. Schedule an examination and consultation today to learn more about your options.
