Oral Surgery
Colwood Dental Group is fortunate to have Dr. Anthony Rea, a certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery specialist, on-site. This means you can receive expert surgical care without the inconvenience of a referral to an outside clinic.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth. Dr. Rea performs wisdom tooth extractions with precision and care, using sedation options for your comfort.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is too damaged to save, a gentle extraction removes the tooth while preserving as much bone as possible. We discuss replacement options to restore your smile after extraction.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone that has been lost due to tooth loss or gum disease. This procedure is often necessary before dental implant placement to ensure a stable foundation.
Surgical Expertise On-Site
As a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists and Division Head for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Island Health, Dr. Rea brings exceptional expertise to our practice. His presence means seamless coordination between your general dentist and surgical specialist.
