Dental Implants
Missing one or more teeth? Dr. Kanellis specializes in permanent tooth restorations using dental implants!
Dental implants offer long-lasting and natural-looking results by placing titanium posts into the jawbone where luminous crowns can then be attached. They also require no dietary restrictions and are built to last for life, making them a popular option among our patients!
We offer the following dental implant systems at Kanellis Family Dentistry:
- Single Dental Implants
- All-on-4®
- Implant-Retained Dentures
- Hybrid Dental Implants
Bone Grafting
Periodontal disease can wreak havoc on the jawbone, making it impossible to support a dental implant without specialized treatment. If you are seeking treatment for periodontal disease, Dr. Kanellis may recommend bone grafting (also known as natural bone regeneration) to promote bone growth in your jaw. With this specialized treatment, your jawbone will begin to regenerate and strengthen itself enough to support a dental implant.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions can be performed in an emergency procedure after trauma or injury, or to prevent a future oral health problem from arising.
Dr. Kanellis provides extractions for patients experiencing pain and discomfort, or an infection caused by a tooth damaged beyond repair. In some cases, a surgical extraction may be required, but simple extractions are also performed if the tooth appears above the gum line. Before recommending any tooth extraction, Dr. Kanellis will provide a thorough dental exam and take digital X-rays to determine the extent of the damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Kanellis Family Dentistry offers several oral surgery procedures, including dental implant placement, bone grafting, and tooth extractions. Dr. Kanellis will evaluate your oral health and treatment needs to determine which approach is appropriate for you.
A tooth may need to be extracted if it is severely damaged, infected, or cannot be restored with other dental treatments. Extractions may also be recommended when removing a tooth can help prevent future oral health problems.
A simple extraction is generally performed when the tooth is visible above the gum line and can be removed without surgical access. A surgical extraction may be necessary when a tooth is difficult to access or requires additional treatment to remove safely.
Before any tooth extraction, Dr. Kanellis will examine your smile and take digital X-rays to evaluate the tooth and surrounding structures. Local anesthesia and, when appropriate, sedation can help make the procedure more comfortable.
Dental implants can replace teeth lost to extraction, but the timing depends on factors such as the condition of the extraction site, available bone, and your overall oral health. In some situations, bone grafting or other preliminary treatment may be recommended before implant placement.
Bone grafting is a procedure that can help rebuild or strengthen areas of the jawbone that do not have enough bone to support a dental implant. It may be recommended for patients who have experienced bone loss related to periodontal disease, tooth loss, or other factors.
Yes. Kanellis Family Dentistry offers sedation options for appropriate patients undergoing oral surgery. Dr. Kanellis will review your medical history, procedure, and comfort needs to determine which level of sedation is appropriate for you.
Sedation may be an option for patients who experience dental anxiety or feel nervous about undergoing a surgical procedure. Your dentist will discuss your concerns and medical history before recommending an appropriate approach.
Your consultation may include a review of your medical history, a dental examination, and digital X-rays or other imaging when needed. Dr. Kanellis will explain your treatment options and discuss what to expect before, during, and after your procedure.
The length of an oral surgery appointment depends on the procedure and your individual needs. A simple extraction may be relatively brief, while implant placement, bone grafting, or more involved surgical procedures may require additional time.
Oral surgery may be recommended when a tooth cannot be adequately treated with a less invasive procedure, when you need tooth replacement with dental implants, or when additional treatment is needed to support your oral health. A consultation with Dr. Kanellis can help determine whether surgical treatment is appropriate for you.
