Oral Surgery Services at Christian Family Dentistry
From routine wisdom teeth to complex surgical extractions and pre-implant bone grafting, the procedures below are performed in-office — so you don't have to travel to Fort Worth or Denton for care.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Evaluation with 3D cone-beam imaging, then safe removal of erupted or impacted third molars — for teens, young adults, and anyone experiencing pain or crowding.
Surgical Tooth Extractions
For broken-down, fractured, or root-retained teeth that can't be removed with a simple extraction. Performed with precision and a plan for what comes next.
Impacted Tooth Removal
Teeth stuck beneath the gum or bone — wisdom teeth, canines, or others — removed with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.
Bone Grafting
Rebuilds the jawbone after an extraction or in preparation for a dental implant, so your future restoration has the foundation it needs.
Pre-Implant Surgery
Site preparation, ridge preservation, and surgical steps that set up a successful dental implant — coordinated with your restorative care under one roof.
Oral Biopsies & Exam Findings
When something doesn't look right on a routine exam, we can take a small biopsy for evaluation — quickly and comfortably.
Need Surgery Today? We'll Do Our Best to Get You In.
If you're in pain, have a fractured tooth, or were told you need a surgical extraction and can't wait weeks, call us. Many oral-surgery cases — especially infections and acute pain — qualify for same-day treatment at Christian Family Dentistry.
- Severe tooth pain or swelling
- Fractured or loose teeth from trauma
- Infected wisdom teeth
- Failed restorations needing surgical removal
Sedation & Anesthesia Options
Oral surgery shouldn't feel like a guessing game. We'll walk through your options at the consultation and match the right level of anesthesia to the procedure and your comfort.
- Local anesthesia — numbing the treatment area
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) — for takes-the-edge-off comfort
- Oral sedation — a prescribed pill before your visit
Questions about what's right for you? We'll answer them honestly at your consult — no pressure, no upsell.
From First Call to Full Recovery
Most oral surgery follows the same four steps. We'll tell you exactly where you are in the process every step of the way.
Consultation
Exam, questions, and a review of your medical history — in person or over the phone for urgent cases.
3D Imaging
Cone-beam CT lets us see roots, nerves, and bone before surgery — not during.
Surgery
Performed in-office with the anesthesia plan we agreed on together. Most cases finish in under an hour.
Follow-Up
Clear aftercare instructions, a recovery plan, and a direct line to our team if anything feels off.
What a Typical Recovery Looks Like
Recovery varies by procedure and by person, but here's the general rhythm most oral-surgery patients follow.
The day of surgery
Rest, bite on gauze as directed, stick to cold soft foods, avoid straws. Keep your head elevated.
Peak swelling
Expect some swelling and discomfort. Ice packs, prescribed medication, and soft foods help.
Back to routine
Most patients return to normal activity. Warm rinses replace ice. Reintroduce solid foods gradually.
Fully healed
Soft tissue typically heals by two weeks. Bone remodeling continues quietly for several months.
Making Oral Surgery Affordable
Cost shouldn't be the reason you put off a procedure that's going to get worse. We work with most dental plans, offer financing, and have transparent options for patients without insurance.

Do I really need to have my wisdom teeth removed?
Not every wisdom tooth has to come out — but the ones that are impacted, partially erupted, or crowding your other teeth usually do. A 3D cone-beam scan at your consult will show us (and you) exactly what's going on, and we'll give you a straight answer either way.
What does oral surgery cost in Decatur, TX?
Cost depends on the procedure, complexity, and anesthesia option. We'll give you a full estimate after your consultation, check your insurance, and walk through CareCredit and uninsured-patient options so there are no surprises.
How long is recovery?
Most patients are back to work or school within 3–5 days after wisdom teeth removal. More complex surgical extractions or bone grafts can take a bit longer. We'll give you a recovery plan tailored to your procedure.
Do you offer sedation for oral surgery?
Yes. We'll review local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, and oral sedation options at your consult and match you to the comfort level that makes sense for the procedure.
Can I get oral surgery the same day I come in?
Many cases — especially acute pain, infections, or fractures — qualify for same-day treatment. Call our office and we'll do our best to get you in.
What happens after a tooth is extracted if I need a replacement?
We coordinate the surgical and restorative sides under one roof. If you're planning an implant, we'll often place a bone graft at the time of extraction to preserve the site. Learn more about our dental implants →
