When you need more than general dentistry
If you need a wisdom tooth removed, a dental implant placed, or bone grafting before an implant, Dr. Cho performs these procedures right here at Life Bloom Dental, with IV sedation available when you need extra help feeling comfortable.
That means you can have Portland oral surgery and sedation in the same office where you come for your regular dental visits, with a dentist who already knows you and your dental history.
What’s handled here
Dental Implants
A titanium root, then a crown, bridge, or full arch on top. Dr. Cho places and restores them here, so there’s no handoff between two offices.
Explore Dental ImplantsBone Grafting
When the jaw has thinned, we rebuild it before an implant goes in. Socket preservation, sinus lifts, and guided regeneration, often at the same visit as the extraction.
Tooth Extractions
Simple pulls, wisdom teeth, and the broken or impacted teeth most offices refer out, with sedation for all of them.

Clears the infection and keeps the tooth. Done under a dental microscope, with nitrous if you want it.

How surgery and sedation work together
-
The consult
Dr. Cho reviews your health history, takes a 3D scan, and matches the sedation to the procedure. Nitrous for a simple extraction. Oral or IV for implant surgery, wisdom teeth, or anyone who can’t do the dentist any other way.
-
Surgery day
You’re sedated, numbed, and monitored throughout. With oral or IV sedation, most patients remember little or nothing of the appointment.
-
Recovery
You go home with a driver, written aftercare instructions, and a follow-up already on the calendar.
Why Portland patients choose Life Bloom Dental for surgery
-
Trained for it
Dr. Cho earned his DMD at OHSU and takes more than 100 hours of continuing education a year, most of it in implant surgery and sedation. He’s a member of the ITI Study Club, the International Team for Implantology.
-
Planned in 3D
Cone beam CT, an intraoral scanner, and an in-house 3D printer for surgical guides. No guesswork about where the nerve or sinus sits.
-
Comfort before the sedation even starts
Headphones, a weighted blanket, a massage mat in the chair, a TV on the ceiling. Then the sedation, at whichever level the visit needs.
Paying for oral surgery
-
With insurance
Coverage for surgery and sedation varies by plan. We check your benefits and give you a written estimate before anything starts.
-
For larger treatments
Implants and surgery are an investment. Cherry Finance lets you spread payments over months instead of paying up front. Cash, check, and card all work too.
Questions people ask about oral surgery and sedation in Portland
Do I need a referral for oral surgery in Portland?
No. Book directly with us. Dr. Cho handles implants, extractions, and bone grafting here.
Which sedation will I get?
It depends on the procedure and on you. Nitrous takes the edge off and wears off before you drive home. Oral sedation goes further for longer visits. IV sedation keeps you fully relaxed through surgery. We decide together at the consult.
Can I get several procedures done at once?
Often, yes. Sedation makes it possible to combine work that would normally take several appointments into one, which is one of the main reasons patients choose Portland oral surgery and sedation together.
What should I do to get ready for surgery day?
Arrange a driver if you’re having oral or IV sedation, and follow the eating and medication instructions we send after the consult. Wear something comfortable. Everything else is handled here.
How long is recovery after oral surgery?
It depends on the procedure. A simple extraction is a few days. Implants and grafts feel fine within a week, but the bone keeps healing underneath for a few months. You’ll get a timeline at the consult.
