Oral Surgery

Wikipedia defines oral surgery as "the diagnosis, surgical and related treatment of diseases, injuries and defects involving both the functional and esthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the head, mouth, teeth, gums, jaws and neck."

That sounds pretty intimidating. Imagine how daunting it is when you or someone you love needs oral surgery. Now, think about how soothing it would be to trust the advice and care of people you already know. It's like having a dentist in the family. That's the level of attention you get from Dr. Allan Link's experience and the compassionate staff at TheDentaLink offices in Ballwin and St. Louis.

Consider the benefits of having one doctor oversee and perform the dental care you need:

• Convenience
  You don't have to make appointments, take time off, drive to visit multiple offices, fill out duplicate forms, and explain your situation several times.


• Comfort
  No staying in pain while you wait to see a specialist.


• Clear plan and predictable outcome You are involved in forming a treatment plan, and one doctor oversees the whole process so there is no chance for miscommunication, ensuring a successful end result.


• Familiarity
  Since you already know and trust us, we know you and your medical history, stress levels usually associated with oral surgery go way down.


• Economy
  Having Dr. Link perform the entire procedure can be more economical than seeing a general dentist and a specialist.

We perform dental implants and mini implants, tooth extractions (including wisdom teeth), and root canal (endodontic) therapy – procedures usually referred out to specialists.

Root canals have a bad reputation, undeserved. The abscessed tooth impacts the nerve causing pain. The root canal relieves that pain. When your tooth is throbbing, you need treatment quickly. We perform the procedure and final restoration, on site. Dr. Link also does hundreds of atraumatic extractions every year. He will refer you to a specialist if necessary.

Don't let the intimidating sound of an oral surgery keep you from proper dental care. Call the people you already know and trust at TheDentaLink.
