Need oral surgery? At Pearl Dentistry, you'll experience gentle, experienced care at every visit. At our dental office in Caldwell, ID, you’re in the most capable and compassionate hands. Led by Dr. Spencer J. Lloyd, our team provides precise, patient-centered surgical care designed to restore your health and peace of mind. With over 25 years of experience, advanced technology, and a calm, attentive chairside manner, Dr. Lloyd ensures your treatment is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
For patients who experience dental anxiety, we offer gentle sedation to help you relax throughout your procedure. Every treatment is performed with your comfort, safety, and long-term oral health as our highest priorities. Our top oral surgeries include:
Sinus Lift
A sinus lift, or sinus augmentation, is often necessary when the upper back jaw lacks sufficient bone height to support a dental implant. During this procedure, Dr. Lloyd gently lifts the sinus membrane and adds bone graft material to create a strong, stable foundation for future implant placement. With precision and care, this process encourages natural bone growth – making it possible for patients who were once told they weren’t implant candidates to enjoy lasting, secure restorations.
Frenectomies
A frenectomy corrects a tongue-tie or lip-tie by adjusting a small fold of tissue (the frenum) that restricts movement. When the frenum is too tight, it can cause challenges with speech, eating, or even breastfeeding in infants. Dr. Lloyd performs frenectomies with a gentle touch, often using a laser for minimal discomfort, bleeding, and downtime. This quick, effective procedure can improve oral function, alignment, and comfort for patients of all ages.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
At Pearl Dentistry, we understand that wisdom tooth removal can be a source of anxiety, which is why Dr. Lloyd takes extra time to ensure each patient feels fully informed and at ease. Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth if left untreated.
Depending on your case, we perform:
- Partial-bony extractions, where the tooth is partially covered by bone, and
- Fully-bony extractions, where the tooth is completely encased within the jawbone.
Using advanced imaging and surgical techniques, Dr. Lloyd performs these procedures with precision and care, supporting a comfortable recovery and healthy long-term results.
Gum Surgery
When gum disease progresses beyond non-surgical treatments, periodontal surgery may be necessary to restore gum and bone health. Dr. Lloyd performs various types of gum surgery, including pocket reduction and regenerative procedures, to remove harmful bacteria, reshape the bone, and promote tissue healing. These treatments not only prevent tooth loss but can also enhance the natural contours of your smile. With sedation options available, even complex gum treatments can be completed comfortably and confidently.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is severely damaged or decayed and cannot be saved, a tooth extraction may be the best way to protect your overall oral health. Extractions are also used to remove impacted teeth or prepare the mouth for orthodontic treatment.
Dr. Lloyd performs each extraction with meticulous attention and a gentle approach, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure. We also provide post-extraction solutions such as dental implants and bridges to restore your smile and prevent future complications.
Root Canals
A root canal is often the key to saving a natural tooth that has become infected or inflamed. Dr. Lloyd carefully removes the infected pulp, disinfects the root canals, and seals the space to prevent reinfection – all to preserve your tooth and relieve pain. With modern technology and effective anesthesia, root canal therapy at Pearl Dentistry is a comfortable, routine procedure that restores both health and peace of mind.
