Extraction of Wisdom Teeth

If a tooth's nerve becomes infected and a root canal is not possible, extraction may be required. Other reasons for tooth removal include crowded or misaligned wisdom teeth, creating space for orthodontic treatment, or as part of medical treatment like cancer therapy or organ transplants. Patients may also choose extraction over other treatment options. Our caring team will discuss all options with you and assist in making decisions about tooth extraction.

What is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery is tailored to improve, repair, and safeguard your smile. Our practice provides a variety of surgical options for patients of all ages, including adults and children. We also offer sedation to ensure a more relaxed and comfortable experience during the procedure. Each oral surgery treatment is customized to meet the individual needs of our patients for the best possible dental care.

What are the reasons for requiring Oral Surgery?

Prior to certain procedures, oral surgery may be necessary. For instance, extractions may be needed before a denture can be fitted. Surgery may also be recommended to address issues like impacted wisdom teeth or to improve the appearance of your smile by replacing missing teeth.

What type of person is a suitable candidate for Oral Surgery?

In order to assess your suitability for oral surgery, we will conduct an examination, take x-rays, and review your medical history. This process helps us determine if you are in good health to undergo the necessary procedure. Oral surgery can be performed on patients of all ages as needed. Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have about oral surgery - we are here to help.

What occurs during the oral surgery procedure?

Our oral surgery process begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your needs. Once a procedure is scheduled, we will provide the anesthetic or sedative of your choice. After the surgery is completed, you will be ready to leave our office. It is important to have a friend or relative accompany you home if you have undergone sedation.

We offer quick, comfortable, and convenient oral surgery services for extractions, dental implants, and wisdom tooth removal. Our team is here to assist with any post-operative issues that may arise.
