When a dental problem moves beyond the scope of routine care — an impacted molar, a tooth that needs surgical removal, or a jaw that must be rebuilt before implants — you want a surgeon whose training was forged in a hospital setting. Active Dental gives Frisco patients access to exactly that level of expertise, so complex procedures can be handled with the same confidence and care you would expect from a major medical center.
That expertise comes from Dr. Ajay Ganti, DDS, MD, who completed his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at Emory University Hospital and a general surgery internship through the Emory University Department of Surgery. This hospital-based foundation gave him deep, hands-on experience in surgical anesthesia, airway management, and the careful judgment that complex oral surgery demands — preparation that goes well beyond standard dental training.
Great experience as usual! Everyone was so welcoming and it was a thorough appointment.
Thank you Dr. Tong and staff for such a quick and friendly experience!
Just moved into the area and tried them out! Really recommend them, the staff is really friendly
Have been coming here for years great customer service and they always get everything done great. 🙂
Hospital-Trained Surgical Expertise
A board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Ganti also holds a Doctor of Dental Surgery from Columbia University College of Dental Medicine and a Doctor of Medicine from Emory University School of Medicine. Few clinicians bring both degrees to the operating chair, and that breadth allows him to view each case through a complete medical lens rather than a narrowly dental one.
“Training in both medicine and dentistry taught me to treat the whole patient, not just the tooth in front of me.” — Dr. Ajay Ganti
Before bringing his practice to Texas, he served patients in Atlanta, Georgia, earning a reputation for surgical skill paired with steady, reassuring care.
Understanding Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Oral and maxillofacial surgery addresses conditions affecting the teeth, jaws, and facial structures that require a surgical approach. These procedures relieve discomfort, prevent future complications, and restore the foundation needed for a healthy, functional smile. At Active Dental in Frisco, Dr. Ganti’s surgical services include:
- In-Office Anesthesia: comfort-focused sedation administered by a hospital-trained surgeon
- Wisdom Teeth Removal: treatment for crowded, painful, or impacted third molars
- Exposure of Impacted Teeth: guiding trapped teeth into their proper position
- Pre-Prosthetic Surgery: shaping the jaw and tissue for a secure prosthetic fit
- Bone Grafting: restoring lost bone to create a stable base for implants
- Dental Implants: durable, natural-looking replacements for missing teeth
Patients combining surgery with ongoing care can rely on our general dentistry team in Frisco for cleanings, exams, and follow-up support.
Common Reasons Patients Need Oral Surgery
Surgical treatment becomes the right path when conservative options can no longer protect your oral health. Frisco patients most often seek care for:
- Problematic Third Molars: wisdom teeth that crowd neighboring teeth or trigger infection
- Tooth Loss: missing teeth that disrupt chewing and warrant a permanent implant solution
- Jawbone Deficiency: thinning bone that needs grafting before implant placement
- Complex Extractions: teeth too damaged or impacted for a standard removal
What Your Surgical Experience Looks Like
Your treatment starts with a detailed evaluation and diagnostic imaging, allowing Dr. Ganti to plan around the exact location of nerves, sinuses, and bone. He walks you through each step, recommends the most appropriate anesthesia, and makes sure your questions are answered before anything begins. During the procedure, the team focuses on safety and comfort, and you go home with straightforward aftercare guidance and ongoing access to the office throughout recovery.
