No Oral Surgeon Referral Needed
Nitrous Oxide & Oral Sedation
Most Surgical Benefits Maximized
Most patients never need to leave our practice for surgical care. Everything is handled in-house by the local team you already know and trust.
Your full medical history, 3D digital imaging, and long-term treatment blueprints are already in our hands — no starting over with a new provider.
We offer customized nitrous oxide or oral sedation sedation parameters. You never have to white-knuckle your way through necessary surgical procedures.
Many patients automatically assume that tooth extractions or wisdom teeth removal require a cold, unfamiliar surgical center. As a general practitioner with extensive advanced training, Dr. Lisa Piontek performs a wide spectrum of complex surgeries comfortably right here at 400 School St. From simple therapeutic extractions to preparatory bone grafting and precise implant placement, we handle your workflow smoothly, combine it with tailored sedation protocols, and set realistic, transparent recovery maps.
Removal of highly visible, fully accessible teeth due to heavy breakdown, severe crowding, or unfixable cracks. Fast, routine, and predictable.
Surgical extraction of problematic, misaligned, or completely impacted third molars. One of our most common routine surgical capabilities.
Delicate removal of heavily broken teeth, structurally complex roots, or impacted teeth requiring conservative small tissue incisions.
Specialized socket preservation and precise alveolar ridge augmentation to rebuild jawbone density in preparation for future dental implants.
In-office surgical positioning of biocompatible titanium dental implant fixtures, built safely using accurate 3D CBCT tracking guides.
Gentle laser removal of highly restrictive frenum tissues to permanently solve lip-ties and tongue-ties in infants, children, or adults.
Say goodbye to driving to external surgical networks, managing multiple billing chains, or dealing with stranger clinics. We provide complete care under one familiar roof.
We administer safe nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or personalized oral sedation scripts based entirely on your personal history metrics and anxiety levels.
You leave with detailed, plain-language recovery steps, prescription optimization paths, and direct, immediate access to our clinical staff throughout your healing window.

Every surgical procedure is performed under deep, localized local anesthesia. You will experience a minor, dull pressure sensation as we work, but zero sharp pain. Expect minor, manageable soreness for 2–3 days post-visit.
Except for wisdom teeth or orthdontic alignment extractions, yes. Gaps cause adjacent teeth to shift, accelerate local bone loss, and compromise your bite metrics. We will discuss non-invasive implant or bridge options prior to surgery.
Simple routine extractions resolve within 1–3 days. Surgical or heavily impacted wisdom teeth extractions typically require a 3–7 day healing window before normal chew patterns can fully resume. Detailed aftercare items are provided.
Yes. We offer safe nitrous oxide inhalation or custom oral sedation scripts. We match your sedation method carefully to your general health history profiles and personal levels of dental anxiety.
Yes, the vast majority of PPO insurance frameworks categorize extractions and surgical procedures under basic or major necessity tiers, covering between 50% and 100% of simple extractions, and 50% to 80% of complex surgical cases.
