Oral surgeryin Converse, TX
Whether it’s a stubborn baby tooth or an infected adult tooth, some smiles need a little extra help. At Kashmere Dental Studios, we offer gentle, in-house oral surgery to treat issues quickly and comfortably—without the stress of a specialist referral.
When is oral surgery necessary?
Oral surgery is sometimes needed when a problem can’t be solved with a filling, crown, or simple cleaning. For children, this may include baby teeth that aren’t falling out on their own or teeth that are causing crowding. For adults, it could mean a tooth that’s too damaged or decayed to save. In some cases, oral surgery can also be a preventive measure — for example, removing wisdom teeth that show early signs of impaction before they cause more serious issues. We also perform bone grafting to help preserve healthy bone structure after a tooth is removed. No matter the reason, our goal is to make the process as smooth, comfortable, and reassuring as possible—for every member of the family.
Our oral surgery treatments
Whether it’s a baby tooth that’s stuck or an adult tooth that’s too damaged to save, we offer both simple and surgical extractions in our office. We use advanced tools and sedation options to ensure a smooth, comfortable experience.
To maintain bone structure and support long-term oral health, we offer bone grafting following extractions. This helps preserve your natural bite and prevents shrinkage of the jawbone over time.
The oral surgery process
Initial exam and consultation
We begin with a thorough evaluation, including X-rays and a discussion of your symptoms or concerns. Dr. Kash will determine whether surgery is needed and explain the why behind every recommendation.
Personalized treatment planning
Every smile is different. We’ll build a custom plan based on the complexity of the case, the patient’s age, and comfort needs. If sedation is appropriate, we’ll go over your options and review medical history to ensure safety.
Procedure day with supportive care
From start to finish, we prioritize comfort and calm. Whether you or your child needs reassurance or you’d prefer added relaxation, we tailor our approach to your needs. Dr. Kash uses precise techniques and a gentle hand to perform each surgery with care.
Recovery support and follow-up
We’ll send you home with easy-to-follow aftercare instructions and tips to encourage healing. For more complex cases or younger patients, we may schedule a follow-up visit to monitor progress and keep things on track.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. While we handle most minor oral surgeries in-house, we’ll refer you to a trusted local specialist if your case requires more advanced care—especially for things like wisdom teeth removal or general anesthesia.
Most patients recover within a few days, depending on the type of procedure. We’ll provide custom post-op instructions, and if needed, schedule a check-in to make sure healing is on track. Soft foods, rest, and good oral hygiene go a long way.
Not always! For many pediatric extractions, we’re able to use local anesthetic and a gentle, reassuring approach to keep them calm. However, if your child is anxious or the procedure is more complex, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help them relax.
