Foundational Treatments
Our Core Oral Surgery Procedures
These primary treatments form the foundation of our surgical practice, helping patients regain their oral function, facial harmony, and confidence.
Dental Implants
The gold standard for tooth replacement. A dental implant mimics the natural tooth root, providing a secure foundation for a prosthetic crown. It prevents bone loss and looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth. We offer comprehensive solutions including:
- Single Tooth Implants: Perfect for replacing a single missing tooth without affecting neighboring teeth.
- Multiple Teeth Implants: Implants can support a multi-unit bridge to replace several missing teeth in a row.
- Full Arch Implants: Replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth using strategically placed implants.
TeethXpress® Full-Arch Restoration
A revolutionary solution for patients with failing teeth or unstable dentures. TeethXpress uses strategically positioned implants to secure a full, stable set of natural-looking teeth in a single day. This immediate restoration eliminates the need for loose dentures, allowing you to smile, speak, and eat with total confidence right away.
Single Day Smile
Leave our office with fixed, secure teeth on the very day of your surgery.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars to emerge, often causing impaction, crowding, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth. Dr. Pritchett specializes in the gentle, safe extraction of wisdom teeth for teens and adults, minimizing discomfort and facilitating a smooth, rapid recovery.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is severely decayed, fractured, or damaged beyond repair, a professional extraction is necessary to preserve your oral health. We perform extractions with the utmost care, utilizing techniques that preserve the surrounding bone for future dental implant placement.
We focus on bone-preservation extractions to keep your options open for future restoration.Specialized Bone & Jaw Care
Advanced Surgical & Reconstructive Procedures
These specialized services address bone volume, preparatory surgery, and structural skeletal issues, laying the perfect foundation for complete restoration.
Bone Grafting
When teeth are lost or extracted, the surrounding jawbone naturally begins to shrink over time. Bone grafting restores lost bone volume and height, creating a solid, stable foundation for dental implants to successfully integrate.
Preprosthetic Surgery
Before receiving a complete or partial denture, some patients require preparatory surgery to smooth and reshape the jaw ridge. This ensures that your final prosthesis fits comfortably, securely, and functions optimally.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Also known as orthognathic surgery, this procedure corrects structural irregularities of the jaw bones to improve alignment, breathing, chewing, and facial aesthetics. We plan these complex treatments in close collaboration with your orthodontist.
Diagnostic & Specialized Care
Specialized Oral Care & Diagnostics
We provide diagnostic and supportive care to address unique oral pathologies and systemic concerns, working quickly to secure clear paths to healing.
Oral Pathology
The lining of the mouth should be smooth and coral pink. Any changes in color, texture, or the presence of lumps, sores, or patches may indicate oral pathology. Dr. Pritchett conducts thorough evaluations, biopsies, and treatment for both benign and malignant conditions.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
When conservative treatments like CPAP fail, surgical options can help alleviate airway obstruction. We offer specialized surgical consultations to enlarge the airway or reposition structures to help you achieve restful, healthy sleep.
Your Comfort is Our Priority
Anesthesia & Sedation Options
We believe that anxiety should never stand in the way of necessary oral care. Dr. Pritchett has completed years of rigorous hospital-based training in anesthesia administration. We offer a full spectrum of sedation options—from local anesthesia and nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to IV moderate sedation and general anesthesia—allowing you to undergo your procedure in complete comfort and safety.
IV Sedation
Drift asleep and wake up with no memory of the dental treatment.
Hospital-Level Safety
Continuous, state-of-the-art monitoring ensures complete security.
Seamless Coordinated Care
Surgical Excellence in Partnership with Your Dentist
We work as a collaborative partner in your dental care team. As a surgical-focused practice, Dr. Pritchett handles the precise surgical placement and extraction, while your general dentist handles the design and placement of your final crown, bridge, or denture. This dual-specialty approach ensures you receive the highest level of expertise at every stage of your treatment.
Dr. Pritchett performs the precise extraction, bone graft, or dental implant surgery in our comforting cabin-style suite.
You return to your general dentist, who custom-crafts and attaches your beautiful, durable final teeth.
