Procedures at Our Gresham Office
We offer many oral surgery procedures and will determine the right treatment for your oral health needs.
Dental Implants
A dental implant can replace one or more missing teeth with a long-term, natural-looking solution. Dental implants fuse to the jaw bone, providing the same stimulation as a natural tooth’s root. This keeps the jaw healthy and prevents atrophy associated with tooth loss. Removable dentures and bridges only sit on top of the bony ridge and do not prevent jaw bone deterioration.
Denture Replacement With Dental Implants
Patients who wear removable dentures often find that they are cumbersome and require a lot of maintenance. Dentures typically must be cleaned using special products, and if you have removable dentures or partials, you must take your teeth out when eating or brushing. This can make it uncomfortable to eat around others, and the cost of replacing dentures over the years can add up.
Dental implants are an incredible replacement for dentures because they fuse to the jaw bone, just like tooth roots, and restore functionality to your smile. We can place several dental implants that support a fixed denture through full-arch restoration. Call us to learn more about denture replacement in Gresham, OR, and how our oral surgeons can help.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to develop and typically make an appearance around the age of 17 or during the early twenties. Wisdom teeth can push nearby teeth out of position. They have large roots that can damage nearby facial nerves or other roots. Dentist and oral surgeons recommend having wisdom teeth removed as soon as possible before these issues occur, such as infection or the formation of cysts and tumors. Younger patients often have smoother procedures and recoveries because third molars are not fully developed, making them easier to extract. However, you can have your wisdom teeth removed at any age.
Why Choose an Oral Surgeon
Oral surgeons must undergo many additional years of training after dental school. These 4–6 years are called an oral and maxillofacial surgery residency, and provides surgeons with hands-on surgical training in a hospital environment. Oral surgeons are trained to administer all forms of sedation and anesthesia, including general anesthesia, unlike general dentists. Both surgeons at Beacon Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons are board-certified, which is an additional step we have taken to provide the highest level of care to every patient. When dental surgery requires anesthesia, your dentist will refer you to an oral surgeon for treatment.

PODCAST
The Difference Between an Oral Surgeon and a Dentist
In this episode of Oral Surgery Insights, Dr. Russ Lieblick and Dr. Brandon Rehrer explore the fundamental differences between general dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMS), emphasizing how specialized training leads to better patient outcomes. While both professionals complete four years of dental school, oral surgeons continue on to four to six years of hospital-based surgical residency, gaining experience in anesthesia, trauma care, and complex procedures. This advanced training allows them to manage impacted wisdom teeth, perform dental implant surgery with bone grafting, and treat conditions such as TMJ disorders, facial trauma, and sleep apnea. The episode also highlights the vital role of collaboration between oral surgeons, general dentists, and other dental specialists to ensure seamless care transitions. Patient comfort remains a top priority, with comprehensive consultations, effective anxiety management, and attentive post-operative support playing key roles in delivering high-quality, compassionate care.
