Oral Surgery Services Available to Cedar City Patients
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Impacted wisdom teeth are one of the most common reasons Cedar City residents make the drive south. Whether your third molars are partially erupted, fully impacted, or causing crowding, our team handles straightforward extractions and complex surgical cases with equal precision. Most patients recover comfortably at home within a few days. Learn more about the signs you may need wisdom teeth removed and what to expect before, during, and after surgery.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, and Cedar City patients increasingly choose implants over dentures or bridges for their durability and natural feel. Dr. Mack places both traditional implants and mini dental implants in St. George, with treatment plans customized to your bone density, health history, and budget. For patients missing multiple teeth, we also offer full-mouth dental implant solutions.
Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)
Corrective jaw surgery addresses skeletal misalignments that cause bite problems, difficulty chewing, chronic jaw pain, or airway obstruction. This is a procedure that requires the precision and experience of a fellowship-trained oral and maxillofacial surgeon — exactly what Cedar City patients find at Red Rock.
TMJ Treatment
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders cause jaw pain, clicking or popping, headaches, and difficulty opening the mouth fully. We offer a range of treatment options, from conservative occlusal guards to Botox for jaw pain and surgical intervention when necessary.
Oral Pathology and Biopsies
Unusual lumps, sores, or discolorations in the mouth should never be ignored. Our team evaluates and biopsies suspicious oral lesions to rule out or diagnose conditions like oral cancer — providing Cedar City patients with timely, expert diagnostic care.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is severely decayed, fractured, or infected beyond saving, surgical extraction is often the safest path forward. We perform simple and surgical extractions and will discuss implant or bridge replacement options with you at the same appointment if appropriate.
