Dr. Krystal Reyes-Viruet is a highly trained periodontist with extensive experience in performing minimally invasive and effective procedures focused on the gums, supporting bone, and implants.

What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery refers to a range of procedures that involve surgical intervention in the mouth, particularly involving the teeth, gums, or jawbone. At Viruet Periodontics, our oral surgery services are focused specifically on periodontics, rather than general dentistry. We offer three primary types of oral surgery:

• Tooth Extractions
• Bone Grafting
• Dental Implants

Each of these treatments plays an important role in helping patients achieve a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile.

Tooth Extractions

Although our top priority is always to preserve natural teeth, some situations require removal for the sake of your oral health. Severely decayed or damaged teeth, advanced periodontal disease, or preparation for implant placement may make tooth extraction necessary. Dr. Reyes-Viruet performs surgical extractions with skill and care, using modern techniques to minimize discomfort and promote faster healing.

We also offer sedation options to ensure a stress-free experience. Our team provides thorough post-operative care instructions and long-term solutions for tooth replacement to help you restore full oral function.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is an essential oral surgery procedure used to rebuild and strengthen areas of the jaw where bone has been lost. This loss often occurs due to advanced periodontal disease, trauma, or tooth loss. When a tooth is missing, the bone that once supported it begins to deteriorate over time. Bone grafting helps restore this structure, providing the stability needed for future dental implants or preserving the jaw’s natural shape.

At Viruet Periodontics, Dr. Krystal Reyes-Viruet performs expert bone grafting. This procedure involves placing bone material, either from your own body, a donor source, or a synthetic material, into the area where bone loss has occurred. The graft serves as a framework, encouraging your body to regenerate natural bone in that area over time.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a modern, permanent solution for missing teeth and one of the most transformative oral surgery procedures available. Implants consist of titanium posts placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, these implants support crowns, bridges, or dentures that function like natural teeth.

As a board-certified periodontist, Dr. Reyes-Viruet is specially trained in placing dental implants with precision and care. She also offers related procedures such as bone grafting and ridge preservation to ensure implant success. At Viruet Periodontics, patients receive complete implant planning and placement in a single location with expert guidance every step of the way.
