Surgical care of the mouth and jaw calls for more than skill — it calls for the kind of refined judgment that only advanced training delivers. From wisdom teeth removal and dental implants to bone grafting and the treatment of impacted teeth, Active Dental gives Irving patients access to a surgeon whose education extends into some of the most demanding areas of the specialty.
That surgeon is Dr. Ajay Ganti, DDS, MD, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon who pursued advanced fellowship training in craniofacial deformities, cleft lip, and cleft palate surgery under internationally recognized surgeon Dr. Pat Ricalde. Working at that level of complexity sharpens precision and planning in ways that benefit every patient — even those who come in for a routine extraction or implant.
Dr. Young helped give me my dream smile. She is incredibly patient and truly listens to her patients. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Amazing staff and a great experience! Dr. Singh is a great doctor!
Friendly and knowledgeable from walking in the door and on the way out! I'm terrified of the dentist! I would recommend them to anyone who ask! And the are open Saturdays.
Great team dental assistants/dentist are so kind and nice would recommend this location if you want a good service .!!
Advanced Training in Complex Oral Surgery
Dr. Ganti’s foundation is as strong as his fellowship is specialized. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine and his Doctor of Medicine at Emory University School of Medicine, then completed an oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at Emory University Hospital alongside a general surgery internship through the Emory University Department of Surgery.
“Every surgical plan starts with listening. When patients understand what’s happening, the fear fades and the outcomes improve.” — Dr. Ajay Ganti
He practiced in Atlanta, Georgia, before relocating to Texas, and remains committed to delivering surgical care defined by both expertise and compassion.
What to Know About Oral Surgery
Oral surgery encompasses procedures that go beyond general dentistry to treat the teeth, jaws, and surrounding tissues surgically. The right procedure can ease pain, prevent further damage, and rebuild the support your smile needs. At Active Dental in Irving, Dr. Ganti’s surgical services include:
- In-Office Anesthesia: sedation tailored to keep you relaxed throughout treatment
- Wisdom Teeth Removal: removal of impacted or troublesome third molars
- Exposure of Impacted Teeth: helping blocked teeth move into proper alignment
- Pre-Prosthetic Surgery: preparing the mouth for comfortable, stable restorations
- Bone Grafting: rebuilding jaw structure to support long-term implant success
- Dental Implants: secure, lifelike replacements for one or more missing teeth
When your surgical care is complete, our general dentistry team in Irving is ready to support your everyday oral health.
When Oral Surgery Becomes the Right Step
Oral surgery is recommended when a condition can no longer be managed through conservative dental care. Irving patients commonly seek treatment for:
- Impacted Molars: wisdom teeth that crowd, ache, or threaten nearby teeth
- Gaps From Tooth Loss: missing teeth that compromise function and call for implants
- Reduced Bone Volume: jawbone loss that requires grafting before restoration
- Non-Restorable Teeth: teeth too damaged or impacted for a simple extraction


What to Expect From Treatment
Care begins with a careful examination and diagnostic imaging so Dr. Ganti can plan around the precise anatomy of your teeth, nerves, and jaw. He explains your diagnosis clearly, reviews anesthesia choices, and makes sure you feel confident before treatment moves forward. Throughout the procedure, the team keeps your comfort and safety front and center, and you leave with detailed recovery instructions and reliable support during healing.
