Oral Surgery in Olney MD includes procedures such as tooth extractions, bone grafting, and other treatments that prepare your smile for restorative or cosmetic care. Dr. Archana M. Johnson has provided these services to patients in Olney and the surrounding communities for 17 years.
Having your surgical and restorative care in one practice creates a more seamless experience. Your records stay in one place, treatment is better coordinated, and the same team manages your care from start to finish.
Whether you need a simple extraction or a more complex surgical procedure, Dr. Johnson will create a personalized treatment plan, explain each step of the process, and guide you through recovery with confidence.
Tooth extractions are the most common oral surgery procedure we perform. Some are straightforward, while others require a surgical approach because of the tooth’s position or root structure. Dr. Johnson evaluates each case using digital imaging to determine the safest and most effective treatment. Learn more on our Tooth Extractions in Olney MD page.
Bone grafting may be recommended before dental implant treatment when there isn’t enough bone to support an implant. Dr. Johnson uses digital imaging to determine whether grafting is needed and will explain each step of your treatment plan. Learn more on our Dental Implants in Olney MD page.
We also perform surgical procedures that support periodontal treatment when advanced gum disease requires more than non-surgical care. Our Periodontics in Olney MD services work alongside oral surgery to provide coordinated treatment in one location.
A lot of patients assume oral surgery automatically means a referral to a specialist. That’s not always the case. Dr. Johnson completed a residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, which gave her clinical training that goes well beyond the standard general dentistry curriculum. That background is part of why we’re able to keep a wider range of procedures in-house than many family practices.
There are situations where a referral to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon is the right call. Complex impactions, cases involving significant anatomical risk, or patients with medical histories that require specialist-level oversight may be better served elsewhere. We’ll be direct with you when that’s the situation. What we won’t do is reflexively refer you out for procedures that are well within our scope, because that adds appointments, adds cost, and breaks the continuity of your care.
When we do need to coordinate with an outside specialist, we stay involved. Your records, imaging, and treatment notes travel with you, and the plan you started here continues when you return. The goal is that your care at Advanced Cosmetic and Family Dentistry of Olney stays coherent from beginning to end, regardless of where one step in the process takes place.
Every oral surgery treatment begins with a consultation. Dr. Johnson reviews your dental history, takes any necessary digital imaging, and explains your diagnosis, treatment options, and recovery timeline so you know what to expect before moving forward.
On the day of your procedure, local anesthesia is used for most treatments, and sedation options are available for patients who need additional comfort. You’ll also receive detailed recovery instructions, including what to expect during healing and when to contact our office.
After surgery, we’ll coordinate the next phase of your care. Whether you’re preparing for a dental implant or continuing periodontal treatment, your follow-up is managed by the same team. Learn more about ongoing gum care on our Periodontal Maintenance in Olney MD page.
Oral surgery is often covered in part by dental insurance, especially for medically necessary procedures such as tooth extractions. Coverage varies by plan, and our team will verify your benefits before treatment so you understand your expected costs. Learn more on our Dental Insurance in Olney MD page.
For expenses not covered by insurance, we offer financing through Sunbit to help make treatment more affordable. Our team will review your options during your consultation, or you can learn more on our Payment Plans in Olney MD page.
Some procedures, including bone grafting, may have different insurance coverage depending on your treatment plan. We’ll help you understand your benefits and provide a clear estimate before treatment begins.
Oral surgery is often one step in a larger treatment plan. An extraction may prepare for a dental implant, a bone graft can strengthen the jaw for future restoration, and periodontal surgery helps preserve healthy teeth and gums. Planning these procedures as part of your overall care leads to better long-term results.
With 17 years of experience serving the Olney community, Dr. Johnson provides treatment with a thorough understanding of your dental history, allowing surgical and restorative care to be planned seamlessly.
Our Family Dentistry in Olney MD and Emergency Dentist in Olney MD services are also available in the same office, making it easy to coordinate your family’s dental care in one convenient location.
