Implants & Oral Surgery

Dr. Rafoth has been providing oral surgery services for over 20 years. Keeping surgical procedures in-house allows for continuity of care and careful coordination with restorative treatment.

About Oral Surgery Services

Since 1998, Dr. Rafoth has applied his post-doctoral training to treating patients who need oral surgery. Wisdom tooth removal, periodontal surgery, implants, bone grafting, and pre-prosthetic (denture or bridge) surgery are handled in-house.

Dental implants are the standard of care for tooth replacement, and we have been proud to offer this service to our patients since 2000. Our goal is to provide precise, well-planned surgical care in a setting where patients feel informed, prepared, and comfortable.

Each treatment plan is developed individually based on your clinical needs and long-term goals. Our oral surgery services include:

Wisdom tooth removal
Periodontal surgery
Dental implant placement
Bone grafting
Pre-prosthetic surgery

Implant Services

Missing teeth and loose dentures make too many people sit on the sidelines and let life pass them by. However, today’s modern treatment plans can replace everything from a single missing tooth to a completely missing arch. Implants are designed to function like natural teeth. They help preserve bone, improve stability, and restore confidence in eating and speaking.

This technology allows us to:

View detailed 3D images of the jaw and surrounding anatomy
Plan implant position digitally
Design surgical guides for accurate placement
Reduce surgical uncertainty
Support predictable healing

Computer-Guided Implant Planning

Successful implant treatment begins with careful planning. We use cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging and virtual treatment planning to evaluate bone structure and determine ideal implant placement before surgery begins.

While surgical experience remains essential, digital planning provides an added level of precision that benefits both short- and long-term outcomes.

Ceramic Implants

Ceramic dental implants are a reliable alternative to titanium or metal alloy implants. For patients who prefer a metal-free option, ceramic implants may be appropriate.

We are happy to discuss whether this option aligns with your treatment goals.

PRF may:

Support faster healing
Reduce inflammation
Aid in the prevention of bleeding
Provide structural proteins, immune cells, and stem cells to promote tissue growth

A Great Option for Oral Surgery: Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

Advances in grafting techniques have improved healing and recovery following oral surgery. One option we provide is platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a patient-derived graft material created from a small sample of your own blood.

PRF is a bioactive, host-derived source of graft material. The building blocks of PRF support healing. Certain healing proteins help stabilize tissue after surgery.

PRF is often used in bone grafting, implant placement, and periodontal surgery. It is also generally more cost-effective than some traditional graft materials. Dr. Rafoth has been providing PRF grafting for over 20 years. Ask us if a PRF graft is right for you.

Bone Grafting

In some cases, bone grafting is necessary to create adequate support for dental implants or to maintain teeth affected by periodontal disease. Using advanced imaging, we evaluate bone quality and determine whether grafting will improve long-term success.

Comfort During Surgery

We understand that oral surgery can feel intimidating. Procedures are performed with appropriate anesthesia and comfort measures to ensure treatment is as smooth and manageable as possible. Sedation options are available for patients who would benefit from additional support.

I've been a patient here for a while now and I genuinely look forward to my appointments — and that's not something most people say about the dentist! The entire team makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. Dr. Chris in particular strikes the perfect balance between explaining what is going on and being personable and easy to talk to.

As always my experience at Lyons Creek was pleasant, fun, and easy. From the front desk to the treatment chair, I am happy with the professionalism the entire team devoted to my dental health.

I used to be a bundle of nerves at each dentist I went to, but at Lyons Creek, I have had wonderful experiences at each visit. Dr. Rafoth and his staff are truly caring individuals.
