Protect Your Health With Oral Surgery in Murrells Inlet

At The Smile Center, we provide most of your family’s oral surgery needs so you won’t have to worry about seeing an outside specialist. You’ll feel better if your oral surgery in Murrells Inlet is performed by a dentist you know and trust! An oral surgery procedure can help you:

  • Get out of pain and feel better
  • Restore your oral health
  • Prevent damage to your healthy teeth and gums
  • Prepare your mouth for dental implants

To schedule a consultation for oral surgery services, call The Smile Center today at 843-491-5353. We’re conveniently located at 4539 Hwy. 17 Bypass S. in the 29576 ZIP code. If you don’t have insurance, ask about a 15 percent discount on extractions with our savings plan.

Build Up Your Bone Quality For Dental Implants

Although our most common oral surgery is a tooth extraction, given Dr. John Miller’s expertise with dental implants, it’s not surprising that we also offer several procedures that can make you a better candidate for implants.

In addition to gentle tooth extractions, we offer these treatments:

  • Ridge Augmentations – We can use various techniques to increase the quality and/or quantity of your tissues and bone structure in areas where you’ll receive dental implants.
  • Sinus Lifts – This surgery adds bone to your upper jaw and ensures there’s room for implants.
  • Bone Grafts – We add small amounts of bone or bone-like material to your jaw to get it in shape for a dental implant.

Dr. Miller received special training in all these procedures at the Medical University of South Carolina, so you’re assured of excellent care! Plus, we offer state-of-the-art 3D CT scanning in our office to take images of your jaw and prepare for a successful oral surgery.

Get Relief From Your Dental Anxiety

We’ll thoroughly numb your mouth with local anesthesia for your oral surgical procedure. We use a computerized system called The Wand® that enables us to locate the best site for your anesthesia and use the correct amount. It even helps lessen residual numbness after your procedure so you won’t have problems talking, eating, and drinking.

Plus, we offer two forms of dental sedation to relax you: laughing gas and oral sedatives. We’ll make sure you’re completely comfortable before any work is done.

If you think you might need Murrells Inlet oral surgery, call us today at 843-491-5353 for a consultation. You can also schedule online.

Common Questions About Oral Surgery

When would I need oral surgery?

There are several reasons why a patient would need oral surgery. At our office, we can remove damaged or diseased teeth, place dental implants, and build up bone for implants. Dr. Miller has many years of experience in this realm, and we have local anesthesia and a comfort menu to ensure that your procedure will be pleasant and pain-free.

When is oral surgery covered by insurance?

Your dental or medical insurance will likely cover a portion of your oral surgery. We recommend that you check with your insurance company so they can tell you how much they will take care of and how much your out-of-pocket cost will be. We will do all we can to help maximize your insurance benefits.

When can I exercise after oral surgery?

You should not exercise at all for 24 hours following your oral surgery. Doing too much too soon can actually slow the healing process. For example, vigorous exercise can loosen the blood clot on an extraction site and cause dry socket. After the first day, perform only low-impact exercises for several more days as a precaution.
