Unlike many general dental practices that refer surgical procedures to outside specialists, our full range of dental services includes oral surgery in-house. From routine extractions to bone grafting and dental implant placement, Dr. Jay Lloyd combines advanced surgical training with CBCT imaging and precise treatment planning to keep your care coordinated, convenient, and under one roof.
Dr. Lloyd performs oral surgery procedures directly at Vinings Modern Dentistry, eliminating the need for specialist referrals and keeping your care coordinated from consultation through recovery.
Dr. Lloyd is certified in IV sedation and also offers oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide, giving patients options for comfort and relaxation during surgical procedures, including those who experience dental anxiety or require more involved treatment.
Dr. Lloyd offers a comprehensive range of oral surgery services, including tooth extractions, surgical implant placement, bone grafting, socket preservation, and treatment of dental infections requiring surgical intervention. Whether you need a straightforward extraction or a more involved procedure as part of a larger treatment plan, Dr. Lloyd has the training and technology to handle it with precision and care. For patients planning implants in the upper jaw, he also performs sinus lift surgery to build the bone needed to place them securely.
Every oral surgery procedure at Vinings Modern Dentistry begins with a thorough evaluation, and for surgical cases, CBCT imaging plays a critical role in that process. CBCT provides a three-dimensional view of your bone structure, tooth roots, and surrounding anatomy that standard X-rays cannot capture, allowing Dr. Lloyd to plan each procedure with a precise understanding of what is involved before a single incision is made. This level of pre-surgical planning translates directly into better outcomes, fewer surprises, and a more predictable recovery. You can read more about the technology we use on our technology page.
Before any surgical procedure, Dr. Lloyd will walk you through exactly what is involved, what to expect during recovery, and what your options are, including whether sedation is right for you. Local anesthesia is used for all surgical procedures, with oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide available for patients who want a more relaxed experience or whose procedure is more complex. Post-operative instructions are provided at every visit so you leave with a clear understanding of how to care for your healing site.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure, but most patients are back to normal activity within a few days of a routine extraction, and Dr. Lloyd’s team is available to answer questions throughout the healing process.
One of the benefits of receiving oral surgery at Vinings Modern Dentistry is the continuity of care. Dr. Lloyd is involved in every stage of treatment—from diagnosis and planning to the procedure and follow-up care—allowing for a seamless experience built around your individual needs. Dr. Lloyd brings advanced surgical training, sedation options, and CBCT imaging to help ensure precise, predictable outcomes. There are no handoffs to unfamiliar offices, no delays waiting for referral appointments, and no gaps in communication.
We use CBCT imaging to plan every surgical procedure with a complete three-dimensional view of your anatomy, reducing risk and improving outcomes for even complex cases.
Dr. Lloyd handles extractions, bone grafting, surgical implant placement, and more in-house, so you never have to navigate a referral to an outside specialist for these procedures.
With sedation training and an unhurried approach, Dr. Lloyd ensures that even complex surgical procedures are as comfortable and stress-free as possible from start to finish.
