Relieve Dental Discomfort With Oral Surgery in Beverly, MA

So Martins Dental Partners offers several kinds of oral surgery to get your mouth in great shape for implants. This way, you won’t need to see multiple specialists. These services include:
Doctor Valerie Martins on offering oral surgery options in a comfortable environment
Read Transcript
As a board certified periodontist, my residency training of three years after dental school exclusively focused on dental surgery. That involved training on dental implants, on the bone structure and support of teeth, how to grow bone, how to graft tissue. And how to create a foundation to support implants. And help, really, with full-mouth reconstruction.
So, a lot of the services that I particularly provide, as well as my associates in general dentistry, may be very scary and stressful and anxiety provoking to a lot of our patients. And I personally really try to focus on creating a trusting environment where I sit with my patients, we go over the procedure in as little or as much detail as is comfortable for them. We go step-by-step of how things are going to go, what to expect. I always give a call to every patient at the end of the day to make sure that they’re comfortable. They always have access to ask me questions after the fact. And it’s really just creating a stress-free, calming environment. Making sure that they’re always pain-free. Asking them all along the way.
- Bone grafts to increase bone density
- Ridge augmentation to improve your jawline’s shape and strength
- Sinus lifts to boost strength in your upper jaw
Dr. Valerie Martins, a board-certified periodontist, is an implant expert. She uses cutting-edge technology like digital X-rays and cone beam computed tomography to assess your bone quality. She can advise you on which of these oral surgery procedures you may need.

Get Extractions & Other Oral Surgery Procedures Too
Oral surgery services are also sometimes necessary if teeth are too damaged to save, or to prepare you for dentures or other restorative treatments. You can also get these procedures at Martins Dental Partners:
- Gum grafts to return damaged gums to health and lessen tooth sensitivity caused by exposed roots
- Gum reduction and crown lengthening to eliminate excess gum tissue that overpowers your smile or to expose more tooth surface before treatments like dental crowns or veneers.
- Teeth extractions, including wisdom teeth removal
Sedation Keeps You Relaxed During Oral Surgery Procedures
We’ll administer local anesthesia so that you will be thoroughly numb before your oral surgery procedure begins. If you’re still concerned about comfort, you can also get dental sedation. Unlike most general dental practices, we offer three types: inhaled sedation (“laughing gas”), oral sedation, and IV sedation. If you’d like to focus on something other than your procedure, you can watch TV or listen to music while our dentists work.
