Our Approach
At Groton Wellness, our approach to oral surgery is rooted in biological, whole-body health. We combine advanced clinical techniques with a deep understanding of how oral conditions affect your entire system. Our board-certified professionals offer compassionate, expert care tailored to each patient's needs in a safe, healing environment.
Advanced Diagnostics
In alignment with our commitment to biological dentistry, Groton Wellness utilizes a unique CBCT 3D scan approach in oral surgery that provides biological insights into your oral health beyond what standard dental imaging can reveal.
Developed by Professor Shahram Ghanaati, MD, DDS, PhD, an internationally recognized expert in biologic tissue healing, this biologically guided imaging from Visiogenics uncovers hidden jawbone conditions and areas of chronic inflammation that could otherwise remain undetected. Each detailed 3D visualization is reviewed by a team of specialists (including radiologists and surgeons) under Prof. Ghanaati's guidance, ensuring no aspect of your scan is overlooked.
This advanced CBCT imaging serves as more than a diagnostic picture — it provides a detailed 3D biologic surgical map to guide precise treatment planning and support long-term healing with a focus on whole-body health.
What CBCT helps us see:
Procedures
Restore your smile with ceramic dental implants. Our placement technique incorporates 3D imaging and guided protocols to ensure long-term success and full integration with your body.

Biological Healing
At Groton Wellness, we enhance every oral surgery procedure with your body's own healing potential. PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is created by spinning a small sample of your blood in a centrifuge, concentrating the growth factors and healing proteins. This natural "bio-bandage" is then placed directly into the surgical site to reduce inflammation, protect against infection, and speed recovery.
Because PRF comes entirely from your own body, it's 100% biocompatible, safe, and effective. We use a combination of your blood concentrates (platelet-rich fibrin and bone graft) — called "sticky bone" — to promote long-term bone and gum health.
By combining modern oral surgery with biological healing techniques, we help you experience:
Our care blends science, nature, and compassion for results you can feel confident about. These combination and complete care are one of the reasons patients from across the country choose us for Oral Surgery.

Answers
We emphasize biocompatible materials, thorough surgical site cleaning, and utilize healing adjuncts such as PRF (platelet- rich fibrin), biocompatible bone grafting materials, ozone, and red-light therapy. The goal is to reduce inflammation and support your whole-body wellness, far beyond the tooth and bone.
You will be fully numb during treatment, and we will review sedation options. Mild soreness or swelling is common for 1–3 days depending on the procedure, and we’ll give you clear, customized aftercare.
After tooth extractions and implant surgery you should be able to return to normal activities within 1–2 days; wisdom teeth removal or cavitation surgery may require a bit more rest. We tailor guidance to your specific procedure and job demands.
Yes—ceramic (zirconia) implants are placed exclusively at Groton Wellness and are a popular option for improved soft-tissue healing, aesthetics and systemic biocompatibility.
