I love oral surgery. I never anticipated that I was going to be so involved in oral surgery, but because the patients that come here are people that are immunocompromised, seriously medical histories, most doctors do not want to treat, they don’t want to take the risk. We have special training, special equipment, ablations, have an IV sedation license.
If somebody needs oral surgery, we love it because we have developed a protocol, a very sophisticated protocol where we use our sedation, we relax the patient, premedicate the patient, and then we are going to use a laser to peel the orange of the gum, right? And then it’s a bloodless, clean, cut, very, very visible. I want to see everything I do. And then we have a special instrument that’s called a piezotron, and we remove the teeth.
We don’t force it, it’s very gentle. We cut it and we remove the parts, and then we rejuvenate the tooth. The inside of where the tooth was is infected, so we use a surgical burr with saline water, and then we clean the bone from that debris.
And after that, we use colloidal saline, saline acid water, colloidal silver again, saline, then we use ozone. Ozone is very helpful in killing bacteria. So we use saline again, so we want to neutralize the tissues, and then we have removed plasma from the blood.
We have separated factors of growth. While I’m doing the surgery, I have a whole team getting the blood ready and purified, and removing the actual factors of growth. So that plasma that’s used now, everybody’s using for rejuvenation, right? We use it for no bone creation.
And then we fill the cavity where the tooth was with plasma-rich growth factors, bone particles if it’s needed, or something that would be more for people that are afraid of COVID bone or anything like that. We use calcium biphosphate. We fill it up.
It’s like a construction site, right? We close it, and then that area that is detoxified, we’re going to wait six months to put a ceramic implant. So that way, we restore the function of mastication. So we love surgery.
I do about 650 surgeries a year, so we’re very proficient in doing surgeries.

Embrace a Healthier Smile Through State-of-the-Art Oral Surgery
Your dentist will only recommend surgery if it’s absolutely needed. If it is, you can trust that Dr. Cintron and her team provide you with the best possible care. We use methods that support your body’s natural healing processes. Our practice employs cutting-edge techniques like PRP/PRF (Platelet-Rich Plasma/Platelet-Rich Fibrin) therapy to speed up healing. These treatments involve using your own blood cells to stimulate tissue regeneration. We also use Waterlase laser technology for precise, less invasive procedures.
Your dental surgery options include:
- Tooth Removal – Your dentist will carefully extract problem teeth to relieve pain and prevent infection spread.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal – Removing wisdom teeth will prevent overcrowding and potential infections.
- Cosmetic Gum Surgery – Using laser technology, your dentist will reshape your gum line for a more balanced smile.
- Ridge Augmentation – After a tooth has been removed, a ridge augmentation will reshape and restore the gum and bone area to support implants or other teeth replacements.
- Gum Grafting – If you have a receding gumline, your dentist can use regenerative grafting materials along with PRP/PRF to restore your gums.
- Bone Grafts – If your jaw is too weak to support implants, your dentist will strengthen the area with bone grafting.
For your comfort, we offer IV sedation, oral sedation, and laughing gas. These options help you relax during your procedure, ensuring a stress-free experience.

Tooth extraction is often needed if a tooth is too damaged to repair or if it is damaging your other teeth. In some cases, you need to have teeth removed to make room for dentures or another dental restoration. If necessary, we’ll recommend a bone graft to ensure your jaw is strong enough to support dental implants.
For the first 24 hours after your oral surgery, you should not exercise at all. Doing too much too fast can actually create problems and prolong healing. Overexertion can loosen the blood clot from an extraction site and cause a painful condition known as dry socket. After the first 24 hours, limit your exercise to low-impact activities for several more days.
To prepare for your oral surgery, it’s important to avoid smoking for at least 12 hours before the procedure and for 24 hours after. Most oral surgeries are done using only local anesthesia, which means you can have a light meal several hours before the procedure. We’ll give you detailed instructions on how to prepare. Depending on the type of surgery you receive, it’s recommended that you take one or two days off from work or school to rest and recover.
