Missing a tooth doesn’t always feel urgent, especially if it’s been that way for a while.

But over time, small changes can start to add up. Nearby teeth may shift, chewing can feel a little different, and the jawbone in that area can gradually change.

The good news is that options like dental implants can often help restore function and stability, even years later. A consultation is the best way to understand what’s possible for your specific situation.

If you've been thinking about options for your missing tooth, schedule a consultation to review your options.

Good oral health is a team effort.

Your general dentist and oral surgeon often work together behind the scenes to make sure you receive the right care at the right time. From wisdom teeth removal and dental implants to bone grafting and other surgical needs, this collaboration helps ensure treatment is safe, efficient, and personalized to you.

When your care team is aligned, your experience is smoother and your outcomes are stronger.

It’s all about coordinated care focused on one priority—you.

Many people notice wisdom teeth a bit more during the summer—not necessarily because anything new is happening, but because daily habits and routines can change.

Cold drinks, travel, and even changes in hydration can make existing irritation or sensitivity feel more noticeable.

If you’ve been experiencing discomfort that seems to come and go, it may be worth having it evaluated. A quick exam can help determine what’s going on and whether treatment is needed.

Wisdom teeth removal recovery doesn’t have to be complicated—knowing what to eat (and what to avoid) can make a big difference in how you feel.

In the first few days after surgery, soft, easy-to-eat foods help support healing and keep you comfortable while your body recovers. As healing progresses, most patients are able to gradually return to their normal diet within about a week.

Every recovery is a little different, but a simple rule applies: if it requires chewing, crunching, or suction—it’s best to wait.

If you have questions during recovery, our team is here to help guide you every step of the way.

🎉🎂 Happy 50th Birthday to our amazing Lisa! 🎂🎉

Today we’re celebrating a very special milestone for someone who has been part of the South Central Oral Surgery family since 1997! ❤️

For nearly three decades, Lisa has been a constant source of laughter, kindness, and support. She truly can do a little bit of everything around our office and is always the first to jump in and help wherever she’s needed. Her positive attitude and sense of humor make every day a little brighter for both our team and our patients.

Outside of the office, Lisa loves spending time with her family and making memories through travel. Whether she’s exploring somewhere new or enjoying quality time with the people she loves most, family is at the heart of everything she does. ✈️❤️

She’s also no stranger to the spotlight! This spring, Lisa had us all cheering as she played the delightfully wicked Evil Stepmother in Cinderella. 🎭👑

Lisa, thank you for 29 years of dedication, laughter, friendship, and the countless ways you’ve made South Central Oral Surgery a better place. We hope your 50th birthday is filled with love, laughter, adventure, and all the things that bring you joy.

🎉 Join us in wishing Lisa a very Happy 50th Birthday in the comments! 🥳🎈🎂

🎉 Happy Birthday, Melanie! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating someone who has been a valued part of the South Central Oral Surgery family since 1993! 💙

For more than three decades, Melanie has brought kindness, dedication, and a caring heart to our patients and team. Outside the office, she generously gives her time to multiple volunteer organizations, is actively involved with her church, and loves making memories with her family.

When she’s not at work, you’ll probably find her hiking with family, cheering on the IU Women’s Basketball team, enjoying a great concert, relaxing by the pool, or even driving three hours just for donuts! 🍩🤣 And lately, she’s discovered a new adventure—parasailing! ❤️🪂

Melanie, thank you for all you do and for the positive impact you’ve made over the years. We hope your birthday is filled with love, laughter, adventure, and maybe even a donut or two!

🎂 Join us in wishing Melanie a very Happy Birthday in the comments! 🎈💙
