Procedures at Our Reno Office
Dr. Galea performs a wide range of oral surgery procedures. Learn more about our services on our oral surgery page.
Dental Implants
Patients with one or more missing teeth are often candidates for dental implants, a permanent and natural-looking restorative solution. Dental implants replace a missing tooth, including the root, and stimulate the jaw bone to keep it healthy. You care for a dental implant with regular brushing and flossing, just like a natural tooth. The implant post will fuse to the jaw bone, making it a permanent addition to your smile. Dental implants can even support a fixed denture for patients missing an entire arch of teeth through full-arch restoration.
Reviews From Our Dental Implants Patients
"I really like the atmosphere here. It was friendly and welcoming. Dr. Galea took good care of me and put my mind at ease during the surgery."
"Dr. Galea is one of the kindest, calmest doctors I've ever had. He is so patient and really went above and beyond to help, I feel like, get to know me as a patient, my medical history, and see how he could best help me."
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, develop around the age of 17. The average mouth doesn't have enough room for an extra set of molars, which is why many dental professionals recommend having them removed. Leaving a wisdom tooth untreated can cause oral health complications, such as overcrowding and dental shifting. A wisdom tooth can become impacted, which makes it difficult to clean around and can lead to infections or cysts. Having them extracted prevents these issues from occurring.
