At Great Divide Dental in Helena, MT, we provide a range of oral surgery services designed to treat dental infections, remove problematic teeth, and support long-term oral health. Dr. Spiger takes a careful, patient-focused approach to surgical care, prioritizing comfort, clear communication, and predictable outcomes.
Whether you need a simple extraction or a more involved procedure, our goal is to make treatment as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our top oral surgery services in Helena include:
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are performed when a tooth is too damaged or compromised to be saved. This may be due to decay, fracture, infection, or advanced gum disease. Whenever possible, our team focuses on preserving natural teeth. However, when tooth removal is necessary, we ensure the procedure is done gently and with your comfort as a top priority.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy is used to save teeth that are infected or severely inflamed inside the tooth. Instead of removing the tooth, the infected tissue is carefully cleaned out, and the tooth is sealed to prevent further issues. The root canal procedure can relieve pain, eliminate infection, and allow you to keep your natural tooth structure for many years.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that removes or modifies a small band of tissue (frenum) in the mouth. This may be recommended if the tissue is restricting movement of the tongue or lips, or contributing to spacing or functional concerns. Frenectomies are typically quick procedures and can help improve comfort, function, and, in some cases, speech or orthodontic outcomes.
Bone Grafting
Bone graft surgery is used to rebuild or preserve bone in areas where it has been lost, often in preparation for future dental implants. This procedure helps create a strong, stable foundation for implant placement and supports long-term oral health by maintaining the structure of the jawbone.
