At Oral Surgery Specialists of Idaho in southeast Idaho, you will be treated with the care and respect you deserve. Dr. Baker and Dr. Jepsen perform a wide range of oral and maxillofacial surgery services in our two state-of-the-art southeast Idaho locations, from dental implant surgery and wisdom tooth removal to corrective jaw surgery and cosmetic procedures.
Our team wants you to feel confident knowing that your comfort and safety are our top priorities. We utilize the most advanced surgical and diagnostic tools available, and to ensure you are comfortable, we provide various anesthesia options in the comfort and safety of our practice, including in-office IV sedation and general anesthesia.
For our patients who may be feeling anxious about their procedure, we are proud to offer sedation dentistry options. Sedation dentistry is a method for relaxing anxious patients in which patients receive an oral dosage of anti-anxiety medication before their procedure. Often, this medication is used in conjunction with nitrous oxide for a deeper state of relaxation.
Dental Implants
Dental implants can permanently replace a single tooth or even an entire arch of teeth. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat the foods you love and smile with confidence.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
When third molars go untreated, they often cause oral health issues like impaction or tooth crowding. Most dental professionals, including Drs. Baker and Jepsen recommend removing wisdom teeth early to avoid these complications.
Implant-Supported Dentures and Bridges
Implant-supported dentures, sometimes referred to as full-arch restoration, replaces an entire arch of teeth to restore a life-life, durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Bone & Soft Tissue Grafting
Bone grafts are often placed before dental implant procedures to strengthen the jaw bone to ensure a smooth process.
Tooth Extractions
Removing infected or damaged teeth helps protect other healthy teeth and maintain pristine oral health.
Impacted Tooth Exposure
Impacted teeth can present many issues and can even affect bite quality. Expose and bond procedures guide impacted teeth to the dental arch for a full set of well-aligned teeth.
