Oral Surgery

Minor surgical procedures involving the teeth, gums, and jaw may be needed to preserve or enhance long-term health. While our philosophy rests on maintaining teeth, each situation deserves consideration. So when the discussion we have together leads to a surgical correction, Dr. Poe will take every step necessary to ensure your comfort and safety.

A damaged tooth may need removal if it's beyond repair. We also understand patients sometimes choose to remove a tooth due to financial limitations. We'll always work hard to help you find the solution that fits every aspect of your situation. At River Peak Dental in Ridgway, CO, we only used the best methods and cutting edge technology to deliver quick and painless procedures. Sedation options also offer a range of anxiety-reduction methods that you may wish to consider as well.

Biopsies of suspicious tissue, reshaping of gum defects, or removal of obtrusive bone present scenarios that may also involve surgical correction.

On occasion, Dr. Poe may refer you to a trusted specialist. Any time we feel you'll be served best by a colleague trained in a particular treatment, we won't hesitate to use the best resources for your care.
