Comprehensive Oral Surgery Solutions Tailored to Your Needs
Our experienced dentists perform gentle and efficient teeth extractions to address various dental concerns. Whether it’s severe decay, mouth trauma, crowded or impacted teeth causing discomfort, we are here to help.
The process starts with an evaluation, where our skilled dentists assess your dental health and discuss the reasons for extraction. Then, we’ll ensure your comfort by administering local anesthesia or offering sedation options. Finally, our gentle approach will allow a careful extraction using specialized tools.
After the extraction, our team will provide detailed post-care instructions for pain management and oral hygiene to support your healing.
We understand the unique challenges that wisdom teeth present and offer comprehensive care to ensure a healthy, pain-free smile. Wisdom teeth often cause issues due to a lack of space in the mouth, leading to pain, infection, and other problems. That is why treatment is essential to provide relief and prevent future complications.
Through a personalized treatment plan, which may include a consultation, X-ray examination, anesthesia, and sedation, our skilled dentists perform precise wisdom teeth removal with minimal discomfort. We’ll also provide detailed post-treatment care instructions for a smooth recovery.

Are you tired of hiding your smile due to missing teeth? Discover the transformative power of dental implants and restore your confidence at Lakeside Dentistry in Yakima, WA. Dental implants provide a permanent and long-lasting solution for tooth replacement because they mimic your teeth’s natural look and function.
The process starts with a comprehensive examination to assess your oral health and jawbone’s condition. Then, a small titanium fixture, which acts as the artificial tooth root, is surgically inserted into your jawbone. A healing period is necessary for the implant to fuse with the jawbone through something called osseointegration.
Once healed, the dentists at Lakeside Dentistry will restore the implant by attaching an abutment which connects the implant to the final restoration. Then a custom made crown or bridge is fabricated to match the color, shape and size of your natural teeth. For those missing many or all of the teeth in an arch we then fabricate a denture that is well supported and retained by the implants for more enjoyable chewing, speaking and smiling.
With the proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them an excellent investment for your oral health and overall well-being.
If I believe that bone grafting is necessary, I’ll refer you to a trusted specialist I work with to support your restoration.
The bone grafting process involves several essential steps. After a thorough examination, a small incision is made at the treatment site, and a specialized bone grafting material (synthetic or from your own body) is placed in the chosen area. Over time, new bone cells integrate with the graft through a process called osseointegration. Once the healing is complete, the enhanced jawbone is ready for restorative dental treatments, ensuring a successful outcome and a confident smile.
If you’re considering dental restorations but have concerns about your bone quality, consult your Lakeside Dentistry dental professional today.
If you’re experiencing discomfort, difficulties with jaw movement, or a clicking sound when you open or close your mouth, you may be dealing with a TMJ disorder.
TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint that connects your lower jaw to the rest of your head. When this joint becomes inflamed, it can cause an array of symptoms. But don’t worry; our Yakima, WA dental practice can help by providing effective treatments to help relieve them and restore proper jaw function.
First, we’ll conduct a thorough evaluation to understand the underlying causes of your TMJ disorder. Once we have your diagnosis, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan. Our approach includes conservative methods like lifestyle modifications, jaw exercises, and oral appliances to relieve your joint of any pressure and protect your teeth. Additional interventions like physical therapy or minimally invasive procedures may be considered.
Our main goal is to provide you with relief from your TMJ symptoms and improve your overall well-being. Don’t let TMJ hold you back any longer – reach out to us today to schedule a consultation.
