“I recently visited Dr. Ramin for my recent oral surgery for extractions and implants. I was so nervous about my procedure, but Dr. Ramin and his entire staff were so comforting. They explained the procedure and took their time to ensure that my needs are met. From the call to make my appointment to the moment I stepped into the chair, I have never felt so cared for by a dental staff ever. Thank you Dr. Ramin, I love my New Teeth Now!”

“I couldn’t be happier with my results. After years of dentists, procedures and pain with less than desirable results I heard about the best implant dentist in lake forest ca, Dr Ramin was the answer for me. From the initial consultation through the procedure and follow-up visits the whole staff was professional, courteous, and caring. I couldn’t have been in better hands than with Dr Ramin. Thank you for my smile!”

Every smile and situation is unique. That’s why implant placement, extractions, bone grafting, and sinus lifts are all customized based on your anatomy, goals, and health history. We take a thoughtful, patient-centric approach to surgical planning — not a one-size-fits-all model.
Meet with our team to discuss your goals and receive a personalized plan.
Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or causing crowding. Our approach prioritizes comfort and proper healing while minimizing disruption to surrounding teeth.
Wisdom teeth removal helps prevent pain, infection, and alignment issues. We evaluate each case carefully to determine the right timing and approach for removal.
Bone grafting strengthens areas of the jaw that have lost bone density. This procedure is often used to support future dental implants and maintain facial structure.
A sinus lift adds bone height to the upper jaw, creating a stable foundation for dental implants when natural bone levels are insufficient.
Surgical exposure is used when a tooth is trapped beneath the gums or bone. This procedure helps guide the tooth into proper position as part of orthodontic treatment.
Oral surgery is more than just removing teeth — it’s about resolving complex dental issues in a way that supports your long-term health and comfort. At Afra Dental, we combine surgical expertise with a comfort-first approach so that even advanced procedures feel manageable and predictable.
From careful diagnosis to gentle execution and thorough aftercare guidance, every surgical step is designed around your needs.
Many patients come to us nervous about surgery or unsure what to expect. We take time to answer questions, explain each step, and make sure you feel supported. Our team’s goal is not only to treat the condition, but also to help you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during oral surgery thanks to modern techniques and sedation options. Any post-procedure soreness is typically manageable with aftercare instructions and medication if needed.
Recovery time depends on the type of procedure performed. Simple extractions may heal quickly, while more complex procedures can take longer. We provide clear recovery guidelines so you know what to expect.
Sedation is available for many oral surgery procedures. We will discuss comfort options with you and help determine what is appropriate for your treatment and anxiety level.
Before surgery, you will receive detailed instructions about eating, medications, and transportation if sedation is planned. Following these instructions helps ensure a smooth procedure.
Many patients return to light activities within a day or two, but strenuous activity should be avoided until healing is underway. We will provide personalized guidance based on your procedure.
When do the stitches come out? Most sutures will dissolve or fall out on their own within 2–7 days following surgery. Some types of sutures may take 2 weeks or more to dissolve. Your surgeon or nurse will tell you which type of suture was used during your particular procedure.
Some oozing or bleeding from the surgical site may occur for up to 48–72 hours following your surgery. If the bleeding seems heavy you can take folded gauze sponges or moistened regular (not decaf or herbal) tea bags wrapped in gauze and place them over the bleeding site. Bite down firmly for 1 hour without changing. Repeat the procedure if bleeding continues. Continuous pressure controls bleeding. Please call our office if the bleeding continues despite these measures
This is the area where the tooth was removed, the socket. The socket will close in approximately 12–18 weeks. It is important for you to keep the socket clean and free of food debris while it is healing. 24 hours after surgery you may resume normal tooth brushing and begin gently rinsing your mouth with warm salt water.
