There’s many reasons why we would perform oral surgery. Most of what I do is through dental extractions. We only take out the teeth that absolutely need to come out.
That’s whether it’s fractured or severely decayed, meaning they have a really large cavity, or if the nerve that’s inside the tooth is infected. After the tooth is out, patients generally have multiple options as to how we either replace or restore their smile. That can be accomplished through partial dentures, implants, or bridges.

Breeze Through Your Surgery With Our Skilled Team
Our gentle approach to oral surgery ensures you’re comfortable and informed throughout your procedure. Your general dentist performs tooth extractions, from simple removals to more complex cases. While we handle many wisdom teeth extractions in our office, we may recommend a specialist for more complicated cases to ensure you receive the best possible care.
Before any procedure, we’ll:
- Take detailed X-rays to plan your surgery.
- Review your medical history.
- Explain the entire procedure step by step.
- Provide detailed aftercare instructions.
- Answer all your questions and concerns.
Understand Your Tooth Replacement Options
After your extraction, we offer several ways to restore your smile:
- Traditional Bridges – These custom-made appliances attach to neighboring teeth to fill the gap in your smile. A bridge looks natural and gives you reliable function.
- Complete or Partial Dentures – These removable appliances replace multiple missing teeth. They restore your ability to eat and speak confidently while maintaining your facial structure.
- Implant-Supported Crowns – A titanium implant in your jawbone will support a custom crown. This replacement tooth looks, feels, and functions just like your natural teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges – Multiple replacement teeth are anchored securely by dental implants. This provides exceptional stability and, unlike a traditional bridge or dentures, prevents bone loss in your jaw.
For oral surgery in Chambersburg, call Guilford Hills Dental Care today at 717-912-5227. You can also make an appointment online.

This place is AMAZING!! Very polite staff and felt very relaxed. Dr. Newman was spectacular! The dental assistant was also very comforting and great at what she does. I have had terrible interactions with the dentists growing up and would put off going to the dentist because I hated the experience. This place will forever be my dentist from here on out. Dr. Newman took really good care of me. I couldn’t have asked for a better dentist or time at the dentist. Thank you Guilford Hills Dental Care!

I cannot recommend this dental office enough! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how incredibly clean and well maintained the facility is. It immediately put me at ease. Every single member of the staff, from the receptionists to the hygienist and the dentists themselves, was exceptionally knowledgeable and genuinely nice. They went above and beyond to make me feel valued. What truly sets this office apart is their commitment to clear communication. Every procedure was explained in detail, thoroughly addressing my questions and concerns. They are great with kids as well so I don’t have to worry about my kids being scared at the dentist office. If you’re looking for a dental practice that combines top notch professionalism, with a warm caring atmosphere, look no further! I recommend the office and specially Jen the hygienist 😃

The staff are always friendly. They are all helpful and offer guidance without judgement. I never liked going to the dentist as a child. I feel that it may have been much better, if a practice such as this one would have been available back in those days. (I liked my previous dentist very much too, but transferred here due to his retirement.)

Lost a crown. They were able to set an emergency appointment within 2 days. They put an emergency crown on and took the time to go over a dental plan for a permanent fix.

Some of the most common reasons you may need oral surgery are removing a tooth that is too damaged to save, extracting wisdom teeth that are painful or causing dental problems, or removing teeth for dentures or other restorations.
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.
Your pain level will vary depending on the extent of your surgical procedure, your age, and your overall health. For some procedures, you may feel little or no pain as you recover. For more extensive procedures, you may have some soreness. In any case, we’ll provide guidance to help you minimize pain and soreness.
