Experience Comfortable Oral Surgery in Zanesville

One way we provide exceptional dental care at Hawkins Complete Dental Service is by offering a wide variety of services so you won’t need to see outside specialists. Dr. Charles Hawkins isn’t an oral surgeon, but he can perform several of the most common oral surgery procedures, including tooth extractions. He can even extract wisdom teeth! Here are a few advantages of having your Zanesville oral surgery performed here:

• Dr. Hawkins has over 25 years of oral surgery experience.
• You’ll save time, hassle, and money by avoiding going to a specialist.
• We create a substance called Leukocyte – Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF™) that helps you heal more quickly.
• You can rely on our five-year dental work guarantee as long as you see us for routine cleanings.
• We offer three levels of sedation to ensure a relaxing procedure.

For an oral surgery consultation, call Hawkins Complete Dental Service at 740-214-1301. We often see emergency cases the same day.

Heal More Quickly After Dental Surgery With PRF Therapy

Dr. Hawkins performs tooth extractions, including many wisdom teeth extractions. If wisdom teeth are impacted, he’ll refer you to an oral surgeon. He also performs bone grafts to strengthen bone following an extraction or earlier loss of a tooth.

Following either procedure, he can “supercharge” your natural healing process with a substance called Leukocyte – Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF). With nothing more than a small sample of your own blood, Dr. Hawkins uses a special process to create the L-PRF. When applied to your surgery site, it:

• Promotes faster and more comfortable healing
• Reduces bleeding, inflammation and swelling
• Lessens the incidence of possible complications like dry socket following an extraction

Feel Confident With Our Experienced Dentist & Dental Sedation

Dr. Hawkins has performed thousands of tooth extractions and other oral surgery procedures in his 25-plus years as a dentist. If you’re still nervous despite his expertise and our use of local anesthesia, you can get dental sedation. Unlike many general dentists, we offer three types of sedation so we can use the most appropriate one for your procedure and anxiety level. Your choices are:

• Inhaled Sedation – This method takes effect within minutes and wears off quickly too. You won’t feel groggy, so you can resume normal activities right away.
• Oral Sedation – FDA-approved medication is delivered through a powder under your tongue. It will relax you more deeply than inhaled sedation. Its effects linger, so you’ll need to arrange a ride home.
• IV Sedation – This method, which is offered by relatively few dentists, is often the best choice for more complicated procedures or for patients with a high level of anxiety. Like oral sedation, you won’t be able to drive for at least several hours.
