Having your oral surgery done by the same specialists who manage your periodontal care means nobody hands your case off to a stranger halfway through. At The Mugford Center it happens in their own Crofton facility: periodontists with extensive surgical training, their own imaging, their own surgical setup.

The range covers what you would expect and a fair bit more. Surgical extractions, including teeth too broken or too impacted to come out simply. Bone grafting and ridge augmentation to rebuild a jaw that has thinned after tooth loss. Sinus lifts, which create the vertical room that upper implants need when the sinus has dropped into the space. Soft tissue grafting where gums have receded. Frenectomies, oral pathology, and dentoalveolar trauma, meaning injury to teeth and the bone holding them.

Two of the procedures here are genuinely uncommon in a periodontal practice. MARPE, or Miniscrew Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion, anchors an expander on small temporary screws to widen the upper jaw without traditional jaw surgery, which can improve bite alignment and, for some patients, breathing. Wilckodontics combines selective bone activation with braces or aligners to speed tooth movement, often cutting orthodontic treatment time close to half.

Sedation comes up again and again in the reviews. One patient put it plainly: “I was sedated and didn’t feel a thing.” Another said she fell asleep during the procedure.

The pre and post op instructions are published openly on the site, so you can read exactly what recovery involves before committing to anything, rather than finding out after.
