Surgical Dentistry

Most people require dental surgery at some point in their lives. While many people have reasonable anxiety about the prospect of oral surgery, we want all our patients to know and feel that they are in good hands when they come into our office.

Types Of Dental Surgery Procedures

There are many different surgical procedures performed in the dental industry. Some of the dental surgery procedures we offer at our practice include:

  • Laser gum surgery.
  • Gingival plastic surgery, also known as a gum graft.
  • Bone augmentation, also known as a bone graft.
  • Extractions (including impacted wisdom teeth).
  • Dental implants.

When you schedule a surgery consultation with Future of Dentistry, we’ll take you through all your options and determine which procedure is the best course after considering your needs and medical history.

Bone Graft

Sometimes, your dentist might recommend a bone graft before you can be eligible for a different dental surgery. This can happen when patients come in for a dental implant and we find there is insufficient bone mass in the jaw to accommodate one.

This is usually the result of infection or trauma that has caused the bone to resorb or recede. In this case, a bone graft dental surgery is recommended to help restore bone density in a given area.

This procedure takes bone tissue from a different area of the jaw and applies it to the weakened area, creating a stable and strong environment for a dental implant. Bone graft surgeries are always performed with the mouth’s total health in mind, so every contingent part will be able to function optimally.

The Gum Graft

At Future of Dentistry, we perform gum grafts using state-of-the-art laser technology, in order to ensure minimal pain, faster healing times, and greater surgical accuracy.

The gum graft, also known as a periodontal graft, is a solution to gum recession, which can occur because of aggressive brushing, teeth grinding, periodontal disease, or just the natural positioning of the teeth.

Gum recession exposes sensitive nerve tissues beneath the teeth that can cause intense pain when stimulated by extreme temperatures. Gum graft surgery restores your gum line to its proper height, covering the nerves and protecting your teeth from decay while minimizing and even eliminating heightened sensitivities.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

One of the most common reasons you might need a dental surgery is for wisdom teeth removal. Your wisdom teeth are the last molars to form in your mouth, usually during your teen years when you already have a full set of teeth.

Wisdom teeth often become impacted—pushed up against the roots of the exposed teeth or trapped underneath the gum line. Impacted wisdom teeth can also grow in awkwardly due to an inability to break through the gums and create space for themselves.

This overcrowding from impacted wisdom teeth can lead to other oral problems, such as cysts, infections, cavities, or general tooth pain. To prevent this, we regularly perform wisdom teeth removal surgery years before the teeth have a chance to become impacted. The sooner we are able to remove the wisdom teeth, the more likely it is that you can have a speedy recovery.

Wisdom tooth removal surgery usually takes an hour and is performed in-office by our very own Dr. Casazza.

Cutting-Edge Dental Surgery

At Future of Dentistry, we invest in the latest dental technology to ensure all our procedures are as safe and efficient as they can be. For whatever dental surgery you need—a bone graft, gum graft, or an extraction to fix impacted wisdom teeth—call or visit our office to schedule your consultation and learn more!

We have five convenient locations in Wakefield (781-245-2299), Dracut (978-957-1811), Billerica (978-663-4303), North Andover (978-685-8313) and Chelmsford (978-970-2089). Please give us a call and experience the difference.

I have never had so much fun at the Dentist's office! Jo'el had me laughing non-stop, Connie at the front desk is kind and supportive. While cleaning my teeth, Holly gave really super advice about dental care. Dr. Denis is kind, informative, caring, and attentive. Oh, and they all do a really great job! I've always been kind of anxious at the dentist's office, and all of the people here are always so understanding and really put me at ease. I can't say I really look forward to going to the dentist's office, but it's always a good experience at this office.

After receiving my dental care in Boston (for 20 years) at a multi-specialty dental practice, I decided to look locally. I was looking for a progressive, experienced practice who provides complete care with attention to detail.My first visit was well orchestrated and timely, with the office staff being very informative and pleasant to work with.As with most good clinical practices, they were thorough in their initial assessment, with review of my clinical history, an oral screening and X-rays to establish a current baseline of my health.On to a thorough painless dental cleaning, with periodic discussion of findings during the cleaning.Dr. Denis Jakuj was personable and well prepared for the consult with his review of my films prior to beginning his exam. The approach was thorough with a collaborative discussion of my previous dental work and most importantly, my current dental status. He was knowledgeable & offered a viable dental care plan to follow, as well as treat the most prevalent issues.It was a pleasure to find a dental practice that took a complete approach to everything from appointment scheduling, insurance, disclosure of costs for procedures and the actual dental care.

I am 74 years old, so that’s a lot of years experience with Dentists. This office is by far the absolute best I have ever been to in all those years! Future of Dentistry is so appropriately named. I was made to feel like I was the only patient in the office that day, from the Office Manager, the Hygienist to the Dentist…all professional, but they went that extra mile to make me feel comfortable and in good hands. It looks like I really lucked out this time!! And I noticed my teeth were whiter than any other cleaning I have ever had as well.

The team at Willows does a great job, and they care about customer satisfaction. I was not completely satisfied with my teeth whitening procedure, so they had me back a second time and applied two more bleaching sessions at no extra cost. Now, my smile is bright!

Simply put, that dentist's office is fantastic. I never thought I would come to enjoy going to the dentist as much as I do now. I love the staff, the ambiance, the personal attention they all give to their patients. Everyone there is courteous, making an appointment is easy, and they have always been on time in the past two years since I started going there. I recommend the Future of Dentistry in a heartbeat and with no reservation.

I can't say enough good things about Willow Dental group and their entire staff. Their white glove level service sets them apart from any other dental office I've visited! From the moment I walked into the office, Jessica was there to graciously greet me (she was smiling under that mask) and quickly checked me in for my appointment. Upon checkout, Connie was efficient and friendly! Dr. Denis was so informative and gentle while treating my broken crown. I will trust and recommend all my friends and family to Willow Dental Group.

I have been coming here for many years and receiving excellent services, but this new team of doctors, hygienist and all staff members are the next level of dentistry. And these are the reasons why:1) Great customer service2) Care given to all their patients is the top priority3) Hygienist, Lori, is very thorough, she takes my blood pressure, checks my thyroid etc.,takes the time to answer all my questions, gives me tips and tools to use so that I can navigate my way for healthier results.4) Dental health is a very important part of our total overall health.5) I would recommend The Willows Dental Group to my friends and family to this great team of professionals.With Gratitude,Cecile LaRoche

She’s very thorough and very informative. I would recommend anyone who needs dental work or is hesitant to go this is the place. The receptionist Connie was extremely helpful as well.

I'm not sure who likes going to the dentist.. but due to childhood trauma caused by a dentist I hate it.. at my last cleaning they pointed out I needed a deep cleaning.. which involve two separate appointments..all my phobias kicked in.. today was the first of two appointments.. and I told the hygienist my fears.. and that she was basically gonna decide if I come back for the second procedure or stop going to the dentist all together.. my hygienist Lori was amazing (the Best ever) . She understood what I went thru as a child and did everything she could to make me comfortable.. the procedure was painless and I can't believe I would ever say this.. but enjoyable.... My next appointment is Monday.. and I won't lose sleep the night before like I did last night... Thank you so much Lori!!!! You have made me feel comfortable in an environment I have hated my entire life... Can't say enough about Lori!!!!

From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with enthusiastic and very welcoming "Good Mornings." My wait time was less than 5 minutes. They still wear masks which is very comforting. Jess took me in and prepped me for my procedures. She was warm and gentle and set me at ease immediately. Dr. Denis handled my procedure. The two of them were very in-sync and they have a very calming repartee together. The entire procedure lasted for about 40 minutes. No pain. No strain. Dr. Denis uses this piece that he fits into your mouth to keep it opened. I've never had that before but it's awesome. He was thorough and before I knew it, we were done. Overall, an excellent experience at a top notch facility.

I had a great experience at Willows Dental Group, I was there about a week ago and It was a peasant visit from the start. The office was very organized and the dentists along with their assistances were all very helpful and nice. I went for a cleaning and in the same day they also filled out a cavity for me, I highly recommend this place.

This was my first time at the dentist in a while, I was very nervous. Michelle put me right at ease. She was very personable and thorough. Her along with the rest of the staff relaxed me with their professionalism and bedside manner. Will definitely be returning for all my future dental needs/visits.

I don't usually leave reviews, but I went to this practice for a second opinion and found them to be exceptional. The staff are friendly, efficient and accommodating and Dr Jakuj explained the services I needed so that I was comfortable with my decision to move forward. I will not hesitate to highly recommend them to friends and family.
