Oral surgery includes procedures such as removing a tooth and placing a dental implant. An implant is placed in the jaw to support a replacement tooth or other restoration. Suitability depends on oral health, available bone and medical history.
Dr. Marise Nassar provides oral surgery and implant care at Experteeth. Digital planning and a surgical guide may support implant placement when appropriate. Healing and the final restoration are separate parts of the overall plan.

What to expect
Assessment
Your medical history, examination and any necessary imaging inform the plan.
Preparing together
Discuss the procedure, comfort measures, alternatives and aftercare with your dentist.
Healing and review
Recovery varies by procedure. Follow-up and restoration timing are planned around healing.
Common questions
Does an implant include the replacement tooth?
The implant provides support in the jaw. A crown, bridge or denture is the visible replacement. These parts are planned together, but may be placed at different stages.
Is every implant placed with a guide?
No. A surgical guide is one planning tool. The dentist decides whether it is appropriate for the individual case.
