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.

After many offices turned me away for emergency services because I was not a current patient, Guilford Hills receptionist did everything she could to fit me in that day. I requested an emergency extraction. Dr. Newman introduced himself & evaluated the diagnosis of my tooth. He was very considerate of the amount of pain I was in, communicated what he was doing before he did anything, very gentle with the taps checking my tooth versus my regular dentist tapped them pretty aggressively & gave no warning. They made sure extraction was the choice I wanted to go with given I had the option to get a root canal, they had my consent. I didn’t even feel the injections to numb me up, only felt some pressure which he assured me would happen & to let him know if I felt any sharp pain. Absolutely painless. If you have any dental anxiety, I highly recommend this office. I am hoping to make this office my primary dentist.

Here is one business where old fashion manners, respect and caring for others are still in full swing! Many thanks to everyone, behind the scenes as well as the front line!

The staff were great. Very welcoming and friendly. Dr. Sargent was extremely thorough and takes a personalized approach by putting her patients first. She made me feel so comfortable and took much of her time to do a thorough examination, like I had never experienced before. Then clearly explained what she saw, made recommendations, and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend this practice!

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.
