Oral Surgery in Union, NJ
Oral surgery includes procedures such as tooth extraction, implant placement, and bone grafting. Union Family Dental plans surgical care around diagnosis, comfort, healing, and the restorative result you need afterward.
The essentials
What is oral surgery?
Oral surgery is dental treatment involving teeth, gums, bone, or other structures that cannot be managed with a routine restorative procedure alone.
Depending on diagnosis, care may include simple or surgical extractions, wisdom tooth removal, implant placement, or bone grafting. Some complex conditions are referred to an appropriate specialist after evaluation.
Michael Hogan, DDS, and the Union Family Dental team in Union, NJ use examination, health review, and imaging to explain the recommended procedure, alternatives, risks, comfort options, and recovery.

Days to months, depending on care
Is surgery appropriate?
Am I a good candidate?
Surgical care may be recommended when disease, damage, missing teeth, or anatomy cannot be addressed predictably with non-surgical treatment.
- A tooth is impacted, severely damaged, or cannot be restored
- You are planning implant-supported tooth replacement
- Bone or gum anatomy needs preparation for another procedure
- Your medical history, medications, and healing risks have been evaluated
A consultation determines whether treatment can be completed in the office or requires specialist referral.
Planning your care
What does oral surgery cost?
Cost depends on the procedure, anatomy and complexity, imaging, comfort options, grafting or restorative components, and whether a specialist is involved.
