Oral Surgeries in Downtown Chicago
When a dental situation moves beyond what a filling, crown, or cleaning can resolve, oral surgery becomes the path forward. For patients in downtown Chicago, knowing where to turn for surgical dental care, without being sent across the city or added to a long waiting list, makes a meaningful difference in both outcomes and peace of mind.
At EVER Dental Studio, Dr. Renee Alhakim provides a range of oral surgery services with the same precision and patient-first care that defines every visit to the practice. Located on Michigan Avenue overlooking the iconic Bean and Lake Michigan, EVER Dental Studio brings surgical dental care into a thoughtfully designed environment where comfort and clinical excellence go hand in hand.
What to Expect
Necessary Extractions
Oral surgery is essential for removing teeth that are severely decayed, damaged beyond repair, or poorly positioned. This procedure helps prevent further oral health issues and prepares your mouth for future treatments.
Expert Care
Our skilled doctors at EVER Dental Studio are experienced in performing tooth extractions with precision and care, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.
Comprehensive Solutions
Whether for advanced periodontal disease, impacted teeth, or orthodontic preparation, our oral surgery services address a wide range of dental needs to restore your oral health.
What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery refers to any surgical procedure performed in or around the mouth, jaw, or facial structures. While many people associate oral surgery exclusively with wisdom tooth removal, the category is much broader, encompassing extractions of all kinds, preparatory procedures for dental implants, and soft tissue work that supports both oral health and aesthetics. A 2023 clinical reference published by the National Institutes of Health notes that dental extractions are among the most commonly performed procedures in dentistry, and that outcomes are closely tied to the skill and preparation of the provider performing them.
At EVER Dental Studio, oral surgery is approached with the same attention to planning and precision as any restorative or cosmetic procedure. Every surgical case begins with a thorough evaluation, including 3D CBCT imaging when indicated, so that Dr. Renee and her team have a complete picture of the anatomy before any procedure begins.
Oral Surgery Services at EVER Dental Studio
Dr. Renee offers a full range of surgical dental services in-house, minimizing the need for outside referrals and keeping care coordinated under one roof. For specialized procedures such as sinus lifts, EVER Dental Studio works closely with a neighboring periodontist in the same building, ensuring patients receive expert-level care while remaining within a trusted network.
The oral surgery services available at EVER Dental Studio include the following:
- Tooth extractions: Simple and surgical extractions are performed with precision, whether for a single compromised tooth or multiple teeth requiring removal as part of a broader treatment plan.
- Bone grafting for implants: When bone loss has occurred at an extraction site, grafting rebuilds the volume and density needed to support a dental implant and ensure long-term stability.
- Gum grafting: Soft tissue grafting addresses gum recession, protecting exposed root surfaces and restoring a more natural, proportionate gumline.
- Sinus lift: For patients whose upper jaw lacks sufficient bone height for implant placement, a sinus lift procedure creates the necessary space, coordinated with a specialist next door for seamless care.
- Computer-guided surgery: Using 3D CBCT imaging and digital surgical planning, implant placement and other procedures are guided with precision that reduces chair time, minimizes discomfort, and improves predictability.
Each of these procedures is performed in the context of a broader treatment plan, and Dr. Renee takes time to walk patients through every step before moving forward.
What to Expect from Oral Surgery at EVER Dental Studio
For many patients, the idea of oral surgery feels more intimidating than the procedure itself. Understanding what the process actually looks like, from your first conversation with Dr. Renee to the days following your procedure, goes a long way toward making the experience feel manageable.
Your surgical journey at EVER Dental Studio begins with a thorough consultation and, when needed, 3D CBCT imaging to map the anatomy of the treatment area in precise detail. Dr. Renee reviews your medical history, discusses your goals, and walks you through exactly what the procedure involves before any decisions are made. On the day of your surgery, the team at EVER Dental Studio prioritizes your comfort from the moment you arrive; the same thoughtfully designed environment and personalized care that defines every visit applies equally to surgical appointments.
Most procedures are completed efficiently, and patients are given clear, detailed aftercare instructions before leaving the office. In the days that follow, some swelling, tenderness, and minor bleeding are normal and expected, and Dr. Renee’s team remains available to answer questions and address any concerns that arise during recovery. For more complex procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lifts, healing timelines are discussed in advance so patients know exactly what to anticipate at each stage.
Oral Surgery and Your Path to a Complete Smile
Oral surgery is rarely the destination; it is most often the beginning of something more. An extraction creates the space for a well-placed implant. Bone grafting makes that implant possible. A gum graft sets the stage for a smile that looks as healthy as it feels. At EVER Dental Studio, surgical care is always connected to a forward-looking plan, whether that means moving toward a single-tooth replacement, a full set of implants, or a comprehensive full mouth rehabilitation.
For patients who need urgent surgical care, such as a tooth that has fractured or become severely infected, EVER Dental Studio also offers dental emergency services, ensuring that time-sensitive situations receive the same quality of care as planned procedures.
