They took me right in when I was having severe tooth pain. I ended up having infection and decay right up to nasal floor. After clearing out the infection there was some extensive repair which included taking tissue from another part of my gums to fix damage to nasal floor. It's been a pain filled recovery, but I feel Dr. Anderson was brilliant in how he went about fixing something that could have been a much larger problem, so grateful! And his staff was great and friendly as well!
View On GoogleConditions We Treat
Misalignment of the jaw is related to several issues including TMJ disorder (temporomandibular joint disorder) and poorly fitting dentures. Without treatment, these problems can cause cracked teeth, worn down gums, and considerable pain.
Dr. Anderson can remove any unusual cysts or tumors around the mouth and perform a biopsy. Preventive care is crucial for treating conditions such as oral cancer and these types of growths should be taken care of immediately.
Dr. Anderson can place dental implants in the jaw to substitute a missing tooth's roots and secure the foundation for a stable prosthetic restoration. We can also extract a damaged tooth to make room for a much healthier implant.
Oral surgery is used to repair fractured jaws, broken bones, facial lacerations, and structural damage to the teeth. It is important to visit a specialist when treating these conditions for their expert knowledge in the complexities of facial reconstruction.
Dr. Anderson can perform simple extractions as well as treat impacted wisdom teeth. Removing the third molars can help you avoid pain, swelling, and infection, as well as prevent wisdom teeth from overcrowding your smile.
Jawbone recession can occur due to gum disease, tooth loss, and facial trauma and make it difficult to qualify for dental implants. If you do not have sufficient bone structure to support implants, we can provide bone grafting.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction Can Prevent Further Damage
Impacted wisdom teeth can damage your surrounding teeth and cause severe misalignment. Removing them promptly is crucial to preventing further issues like periodontal disease and cavities.
Don't Let Facial Pain Turn Into Something Worse
Facial pain and discomfort can often be a sign of a more serious oral health issue, and the condition will only worsen if left untreated. Dr. Anderson uses state-of-the-art technology to precisely diagnose your facial pain and create a custom treatment plan. He is experienced in diagnosing and treating a variety of issues before they can cause further damage to your teeth, gums, and jawbone.
Through oral surgery, Dr. Anderson can alleviate your pain and restore your oral health so you can maintain lasting and beneficial results.
If you are suffering from facial pain, get in touch with our Logan, UT, practice to request your consultation.

View On GoogleWe Use Advanced Technology for All Types of Oral Surgery
Dr. Anderson and the team at our Garland and Logan, UT, dental practices utilize several tools to diagnose and treat conditions.
CAD/CAM:
Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology refers to the digital software and on-site milling machine we use at our office. This state-of-the-art system allows us to create superior-looking and fitting restorations while you wait.
Digital X-Rays:
Digital radiography is a type of imaging that uses far less radiation than traditional x-rays. It also allows us to produce enhanced images of your teeth and other oral structures instantaneously on the computer. Digital x-rays are useful in many types of surgery.
Surgical Guides:
A surgical guide is an innovative advancement in dental implant treatment. These custom guides are created based on each patient's unique bite. The technology allows for more precise implant placement in the jaw, reducing recovery time and the risk of complications.
Oral Surgeon vs. General Dentist What Are the Differences?
Patients frequently wonder: If a general dentist can perform my surgery, like wisdom tooth removal, why do I need an oral surgeon? The short answer is that an oral surgeon is versed in a wider array of oral surgery procedures, and is more qualified to handle especially complex cases. When it comes to certain needs, it pays to trust your care to a specialist.
Let's take a closer look at what makes an oral surgeon different from a dentist:
Training
Oral surgeons go through specialty training at a hospital after they receive their dental degree. During this four-year residency, they learn how to diagnose, treat, and manage complex oral conditions like bone recession.
Focus on Surgery
Oral surgeons frequently perform surgeries like bone grafting and dental implant placement, rather than handling occasional cases.
Capable of Treating Complex Cases
Although some dentists handle minor oral surgery procedures, complex cases call for the expertise of an oral surgeon.
How Sedation Dentistry Can Keep You Relaxed and Comfortable
We understand that some patients feel anxious about oral healthcare, or have conditions that make sitting for long periods difficult or uncomfortable. We offer our patients three types of sedation at our Logan, UT, office to help them remain relaxed throughout their procedure:
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide allows our patients to be relaxed while still being awake and aware of their surroundings. Patients who choose this form of mild sedation can drive themselves home following their appointment. This can be combined with local anesthesia to ensure there is no pain felt during the procedure.
Oral sedation is a prescription pill you will take before your procedure. The amount of sedation is dependent upon the dosage Dr. Anderson recommends for you. You will be conscious throughout your appointment, but probably won't remember the procedure. The effects wear off slowly, so you will need a ride to and from our office.
This form of sedation delivers the anti-anxiety medication directly to your bloodstream. IV sedation can be instantly adjusted to meet your needs. As with oral sedation, you will remain conscious, but won't likely have any memory of your treatment. You will need to arrange transportation to and from your appointment.
You Can Rest Easy Under Our Care
Our entire staff takes great measures to ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible. In addition to nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation, our staff is trained to provide general anesthesia for more extensive procedures. Dr. Anderson and everyone at our Logan, UT, practice is focused not only on providing outstanding care, but also maintaining your comfort every step of the way. Get in touch with our Logan, UT, practice today to request an appointment and explore how we can help you get the care you need in a calm environment.

Our daughter had her 4 wisdom teeth removed, and Dr. Anderson and all his personnel were extremely, kind, knowledgeable and professional. They helped us right away with insurance questions and it was super easy to make appointments after the procedure.
We highly recommend Dr. Anderson to the community. Their professionalism, knowledge and care is excellent!!! We believe that is always important what people do, but it's more important HOW they do it. THANK YOU DR. ANDERSON!

The staff here are incredible. As far as health coverage is concerned, they go above and beyond to get your procedure approved. Sandra was literally on the phone with my insurance company for three straight hours. She gets it done! It's refreshing to see a medical office work so hard on behalf of their clients. I would never have been able to afford this surgery out-of-pocket. If I could give six stars, I would.
