What we do

Specialist oral surgery, from wisdom teeth to dental implants

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons complete years of additional hospital-based surgical training after dental school. When your dentist refers you to Dr. Loving, you receive a high level of surgical care, close to home in Decatur.

Dental Implants

Titanium posts placed into the jawbone to provide a strong, natural-looking foundation for replacement teeth.

Tooth Extractions

Gentle, comfortable removal of damaged or problem teeth, with sedation options for an easy experience.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Evaluation and removal of third molars that cannot erupt properly, before they cause pain or crowding.

Bone Grafting

Rebuilds jawbone lost to extractions, gum disease or injury so the site can support implants and function.

Sinus Lift

Adds bone in the upper jaw beneath the sinus so implants can be placed where bone was too thin.

Socket Preservation

A graft placed after an extraction that preserves the ridge of bone and keeps future options open.
