What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery encompasses surgical procedures performed on the mouth, teeth, jaws, and surrounding facial structures. At Best Dental in Richmond, TX, Dr. Sonny Naderi specializes in oral surgery with extensive advanced training and experience that ensures safe, comfortable, predictable outcomes — without the inconvenience of a hospital visit.
Dr. Naderi completed his advanced fellowship training in oral surgery at Montefiore Medical Center in 2014, following his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston in 2008. Since then, he has performed over 25,000 wisdom teeth extractions and placed more than 1,000 dental implants — giving him the depth of experience that translates directly to better outcomes and fewer complications.
Modern oral surgery has advanced dramatically with improvements in imaging technology, surgical techniques, and sedation options. What once required hospitalization can now often be performed comfortably in our Richmond office with same-day recovery. Dr. Naderi combines surgical expertise with a gentle approach to make your experience as stress-free as possible.

Tooth Extractions

Bone Grafting
Rebuilding bone volume in the jaw to support dental implants or preserve bone after extraction. Dr. Naderi creates a strong foundation for implants even when significant bone loss has occurred.
Sinus Lift Surgery
Augmentation of the upper jaw bone to create adequate space for implants without impinging on the sinus cavity — allowing implant placement in the upper back jaw where bone is often insufficient.
Exposure of Impacted Teeth
Surgical uncovering of teeth that haven't erupted properly, often performed with orthodontic treatment. Common for impacted canines that need guidance into proper position.

Dr. Naderi understands surgical anxiety deeply and prioritizes your comfort at every step — gentle technique, clear communication, and attentive aftercare throughout your recovery.
Sedation Options for Comfortable Surgery
Dental anxiety should never prevent you from getting the care you need. We offer four sedation levels to match your comfort needs and procedure complexity.
Local Anesthesia Only
Numbing medication ensures zero pain during the procedure. You remain fully awake and aware. Best for simple, short procedures and patients with minimal anxiety.
Nitrous Oxide
Inhaled sedation creates relaxation and reduces anxiety while keeping you conscious. Effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed — you can drive yourself home.
Oral Sedation
Prescription medication taken before your appointment produces deep relaxation and reduced memory of the procedure. You'll be drowsy but responsive — a driver is required.
IV Sedation
Deepest sedation level while remaining conscious — completely relaxed with little to no memory of the procedure. Ideal for severe anxiety, complex surgeries, or multiple extractions.
For sedation beyond local anesthesia, you'll need a responsible adult to drive you home. Dr. Naderi has safely administered sedation for over 100 IV and oral sedation cases — all carefully monitored with advanced equipment throughout your procedure.
Recovery & Post-Op Care
Most patients recover faster than expected — here's exactly what to do and what to expect after your procedure.
Control Bleeding
Bite on gauze for 30–45 minutes after surgery. Light oozing is normal for up to 24 hours.
Manage Swelling
Ice packs 20 min on, 20 min off for the first 48 hours. Swelling peaks at 48–72 hrs then subsides.
Take Medications
Pain medication, antibiotics if prescribed, and anti-inflammatories exactly as instructed.
Eat Soft Foods
Smoothies, yogurt, mashed potatoes, soup, eggs, pasta. Avoid hot foods initially.
Rest With Head Elevated
Sleep elevated, avoid bending over or lying flat for the first day. Rest for 24–48 hours before resuming activity.
Gentle Oral Hygiene
Gentle brushing away from surgical sites. No rinsing for 24 hours, then gentle warm saltwater rinses.
Avoid Clot Disrupters
No smoking, straws, or forceful spitting — these can dislodge blood clots and cause painful dry socket.
Watch for Complications
Call us if you experience excessive bleeding, severe pain after day 3, fever over 101°F, or signs of infection.
