Lionel A. Bulford, DDS

Oral surgery covers a spectrum of procedures beyond general dentistry, from tooth extractions to corrective jaw surgery. For those needing specialized care in the Capital Region, Lionel A. Bulford, DDS provides surgical options in a field where precision and expertise are critical. Services here typically address complex dental issues, including impacted wisdom teeth, dental implants, and reconstructive work following trauma or disease. The practice operates in a segment of healthcare where referrals from general dentists are common.

The office is situated at 947 NY-146 in Clifton Park, a stretch of Route 146 that connects the area’s residential neighborhoods with commercial hubs. This location places it within easy reach of patients coming from Albany, Schenectady, or the northern suburbs. Oral surgery often requires multiple visits—initial consultations, the procedure itself, and follow-ups—so accessibility can be a practical consideration. The building sits among other professional offices, making it a straightforward destination for those already familiar with the corridor.

Procedures in this specialty might involve sedation or anesthesia, which means coordination with the surgical team becomes part of the process. Patients often arrive with questions about recovery timelines, post-operative care, or how a particular surgery integrates with other dental work. While general dentists handle routine cleanings and fillings, oral surgeons focus on the more intricate cases where surgical intervention is the only path forward. That distinction shapes the kind of preparation and aftercare involved.

Oral surgery isn’t the kind of service people seek casually, but when the need arises, having a clear point of contact simplifies the next steps.
