Oral Surgery in Marysville, CA
In-office surgical care with a conservative, patient-centered approach
When Surgery Is the Right Option
Most dental concerns can be addressed with conservative treatment. When a situation does require a surgical approach, Dr. Kattuah provides a range of oral surgery services right here at our Marysville office — so you can receive care in a familiar, comfortable setting without needing to visit a separate facility.
Surgery is always a last resort. Before recommending a procedure, Dr. Kattuah will thoroughly evaluate the area, review imaging, explain all available options, and answer your questions. If surgery is the best path forward, we walk you through every step so you know exactly what to expect.
Conservative Philosophy
We exhaust less invasive options first and recommend surgery only when it is the most appropriate course of treatment.
In-Office Convenience
Many surgical procedures can be completed in our office, eliminating the need for a separate visit to a surgical center.
Clear Communication
We explain the procedure, expected recovery, and aftercare in detail before, during, and after your appointment.
Services We Provide
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is too damaged, infected, or impacted to be saved, Dr. Kattuah can perform a tooth extraction — including surgical extraction of teeth that have not fully erupted or that require a more involved removal process.
Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
Before placing dentures or dental implants, the jawbone or soft tissue may need to be reshaped or smoothed for a proper fit. Pre-prosthetic surgery prepares the mouth so your restoration fits comfortably and functions well.
Soft Tissue Procedures
Soft tissue procedures address issues such as excess gum tissue, frenum attachments that restrict movement, or tissue irregularities that affect comfort or oral hygiene. These are typically minor in-office procedures with a short recovery.
What to Expect
Every surgical case begins with a thorough evaluation, which may include digital X-rays or other imaging. Dr. Kattuah discusses the diagnosis, treatment options, what the procedure involves, and what recovery looks like. After surgery, we provide written aftercare instructions and schedule a follow-up to ensure you are healing well.
When to See Us for Oral Surgery
Certain signs and symptoms may indicate that a surgical evaluation is needed. Persistent pain in a tooth or jaw that does not respond to other treatments, a tooth that has broken off at or below the gum line, swelling that returns after antibiotic treatment, or difficulty opening your mouth fully are all reasons to schedule a consultation. Impacted wisdom teeth that cause recurring discomfort, crowding, or infection are another common reason patients seek surgical care.
If you have been putting off an evaluation because you are unsure whether surgery is necessary, we encourage you not to wait. Many oral health issues worsen when left untreated, and what might be a straightforward procedure today could become more complex over time. Dr. Kattuah will give you an honest assessment of your situation and only recommend surgery when it is truly the best option. In many cases, patients leave their consultation feeling relieved to have a clear plan and a better understanding of what to expect.
Charles F. Kattuah, DDS serves patients from Marysville, Olivehurst, Plumas Lake, and the surrounding Yuba-Sutter area. If you are experiencing symptoms that may require oral surgery — or if another provider has recommended a surgical procedure and you would like a second opinion — call our office to schedule a consultation. We are here to help you make the best decision for your health.
