Understanding the anxiety associated with tooth extraction, we offer sedation options to ease any discomfort or nerves. At Santa Ana Dental Specialists, tooth extraction is performed with an exceptional blend of skill and patient care.
Recognizing that the idea of tooth removal can be daunting, our team approaches each case with a combination of technical precision and reassuring support.

This includes managing impacted wisdom teeth, where our expertise in advanced surgical techniques plays a critical role.
Dental implants stand as a pinnacle in modern dentistry for replacing missing teeth, blending seamlessly with your natural smile. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically inserted into the jawbone, acting as a root for the artificial tooth. This integration with the jawbone, a process known as osseointegration, ensures the implant is sturdy and can withstand the forces of biting and chewing just like a natural tooth.
Our dental team at Santa Ana Dental Specialists is dedicated to employing the latest advancements in implant technology. This includes using precise 3D imaging and computer-guided implant placement for optimal accuracy and results. The minimally invasive techniques we use not only reduce the surgery's impact but also significantly shorten the recovery period.
Specializing in orthognathic surgery, we address and correct a variety of jaw irregularities. This surgery not only improves facial aesthetics but also enhances chewing, speaking, and breathing functions. We work closely with orthodontists to ensure comprehensive care and optimal results. At Santa Ana Dental Specialists, our expertise in orthognathic surgery allows us to effectively address and correct a range of jaw irregularities.
This specialized surgery is more than just a cosmetic solution; it's a transformative procedure that can significantly improve both the aesthetics of the face and the functional aspects of the jaw. Patients experiencing misalignment issues that cannot be resolved with orthodontics alone often find orthognathic surgery to be the key to restoring balance and symmetry.
The All on 4® treatment offers a full-arch teeth replacement solution, ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. This innovative procedure allows for a complete dental arch restoration with only four implants, providing a secure and lasting solution. The All on 4® treatment represents a groundbreaking advancement in dental restoration, especially for patients who have experienced significant tooth loss.
This procedure is an ideal solution for those who have lost most or all of their teeth, whether due to periodontal disease, decay, or injury. Unlike traditional methods that require an implant for each missing tooth, the All on 4® technique strategically uses only four implants to support an entire arch of teeth.
This approach not only reduces complexity and recovery time but also makes the treatment more accessible to a broader range of patients, including those who might have been ineligible for traditional implants due to bone loss.
Bone grafting plays a pivotal role in the success of dental implant procedures, particularly in patients who have experienced bone loss in the jaw. This loss of bone can occur due to various factors, such as periodontal disease, tooth loss, or trauma, and can be a significant barrier to the successful placement of dental implants. The procedure involves transplanting bone tissue to the deficient areas of the jawbone, providing the necessary support and structure for future implant placement.
Our surgeons at Santa Ana Dental Specialists are well-versed in the latest bone grafting techniques. They carefully assess each patient's bone structure and use biocompatible grafting materials that promote bone growth and healing. This process not only prepares the site for dental implants but also helps in maintaining the natural shape of the face and jaw, which can be altered due to bone loss.
We offer specialized surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea, a common yet serious condition characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. This condition not only disrupts sleep quality but also has significant long-term health implications, including increased risk for hypertension, heart disease, and stroke. Our approach focuses on addressing the physical obstructions in the airway, which are often the root cause of sleep apnea.
Our team at Santa Ana Dental Specialists employs a range of advanced surgical techniques tailored to each patient's specific needs. These treatments aim to enlarge the airway, either by removing or reshaping tissue, or in some cases, repositioning the jaw to provide more space for airflow. This can lead to a significant reduction in sleep apnea episodes, enhancing not only night-time rest but also overall health and well-being.
In addition to surgical options, we also collaborate with sleep specialists and other medical professionals to ensure a comprehensive treatment plan.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders represent a complex and often painful condition affecting the jaw joint and the muscles responsible for jaw movement.
These disorders can manifest in various symptoms, including jaw pain, difficulty in chewing, and a clicking or locking jaw, significantly impacting daily activities and overall quality of life. At Santa Ana Dental Specialists, we understand the complexities of TMJ disorders and offer a comprehensive range of treatments aimed at alleviating these symptoms and restoring proper jaw function.
Our approach to TMJ treatment starts with a thorough evaluation to understand the underlying causes of your symptoms. We employ state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to accurately assess the condition of your TMJ and develop a personalized treatment plan. Our specialists offer a spectrum of treatments, starting with conservative, non-invasive therapies such as physical therapy, oral appliances (like bite guards or splints), and medication to manage pain and inflammation.
Cleft lip and palate are among the most common congenital conditions, affecting the upper lip and the roof of the mouth, respectively. These conditions can lead to significant cosmetic and functional challenges, impacting a person's ability to eat, speak, and hear, as well as their overall facial appearance. At Santa Ana Dental Specialists, our skilled surgeons are adept at performing corrective surgeries for both cleft lip and palate, providing comprehensive care that transforms lives.
Our approach to cleft lip and palate repair is patient-centered and multidisciplinary, involving a team of specialists who work together to address the various aspects of these conditions. The surgeries, meticulously planned and executed, not only improve the physical appearance but also play a crucial role in enhancing essential functions like speech and eating. For cleft lip repair, the focus is on reconstructing the lip to achieve a more natural look and restoring muscle function. In the case of cleft palate repair, the surgery aims to close the gap in the roof of the mouth, which helps in developing normal speech patterns and reduces the risk of ear infections.
Facial bone contouring is a specialized surgical procedure that we offer at Santa Ana Dental Specialists, designed to correct and enhance various aspects of the facial structure. This procedure can significantly improve facial symmetry and aesthetics, resulting in a more balanced and harmonious appearance. It's an ideal option for individuals who have structural irregularities due to congenital conditions, trauma, or other factors that have affected the shape and proportions of their face.
Our approach to facial bone contouring involves a detailed assessment of your facial anatomy to determine the most effective treatment plan. This may include modifying the jawline, cheekbones, or other facial bones to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. Our skilled surgeons use advanced surgical techniques to reshape the bones, taking great care to ensure changes are in harmony with the overall facial features.
For patients who face the challenge of extensive dental reconstruction, our full-arch restoration service at Santa Ana Dental Specialists offers a comprehensive and transformative solution. This procedure is ideal for those who have lost most or all of their teeth due to decay, periodontal disease, or injury, and are looking for a complete dental overhaul. Full-arch restoration involves replacing an entire arch of teeth, providing a functional, aesthetic, and long-lasting solution.
Utilizing the latest techniques and materials, we meticulously rebuild your smile, restoring not just the appearance but also the full functionality of your teeth. Our approach ensures that the restorations are perfectly aligned with your facial structure and bite, providing comfort along with an enhanced appearance. The process of full-arch restoration typically involves multiple steps, including the placement of dental implants that serve as a foundation for the new teeth.
Our experienced dental surgeons use advanced imaging and surgical techniques to ensure precise implant placement, maximizing the success and longevity of the restoration.
Impacted canines represent a common dental issue where the canine teeth, crucial for biting and tearing food, do not erupt properly into the dental arch, remaining either partially or completely hidden beneath the gum line.
This condition, if left untreated, can lead to a variety of dental complications, including misalignment of the surrounding teeth, cyst formation, and even damage to adjacent structures. At Santa Ana Dental Specialists, our experienced oral surgeons specialize in addressing this issue with precision and care. We employ advanced techniques to expose and correctly align impacted canines, thereby preserving the integrity of your dental arch and ensuring proper bite alignment.
The process of treating impacted canines typically involves a collaborative approach with orthodontists. Initially, our surgeons perform a procedure to expose the impacted tooth, often involving the removal of any overlying gum or bone tissue. Subsequently, orthodontic treatment is usually required to guide the canine into its proper position in the dental arch.
At Santa Ana Dental Specialists, we embrace the latest advancements in dental technology, with state-of-the-art 3D imaging being a cornerstone of our diagnostic and treatment planning processes. This sophisticated imaging technology revolutionizes how we approach oral surgeries and various dental treatments. By providing detailed, three-dimensional views of the oral and maxillofacial structures, 3D imaging enables us to achieve an unprecedented level of precision in both planning and executing surgical procedures. This high-resolution imaging is instrumental in understanding the intricate anatomy of each patient's mouth, including bone density, nerve locations, and the exact positioning of teeth and roots. Such comprehensive insight is crucial for ensuring the highest level of care during oral surgeries, from dental implant placement to complex corrective procedures.
The benefits of 3D imaging extend beyond the enhancement of surgical precision. This technology significantly aids in improving patient outcomes and comfort. For instance, it allows for minimally invasive surgery planning, which can reduce post-operative discomfort and speed up the healing process. It also plays a vital role in patient education, enabling us to show patients a detailed view of their dental condition and how the proposed treatment will be carried out.
Full mouth restoration represents one of the most comprehensive and transformative approaches in dental care, tailored to individuals who require extensive oral rehabilitation. This intricate process involves a series of procedures designed to completely restore both the function and aesthetics of a patient's mouth. Ideal for individuals suffering from widespread dental issues such as extensive decay, significant wear, injuries, or congenital conditions affecting their teeth and gums, full mouth restoration is a journey back to oral health and confidence.
Our team at Santa Ana Dental Specialists is adept at handling these complex cases, combining the art and science of dentistry to revive the entirety of your smile. We meticulously assess each aspect of your oral health - including teeth, gums, and bite alignment - and craft a personalized treatment plan that may encompass a variety of restorative and cosmetic procedures.
