Surgery Extraction

Sometimes, a tooth is beyond repair and needs to be removed. While this can be a stressful event, we strive to make our patients as comfortable and pain-free as possible.

We also offer Wisdom teeth removal, one of the most common teeth extractions. Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars in the back of your mouth. They usually tend to grow between the ages of 17 and 25 years. If the wisdom teeth remain trapped in the bone, usually by a lack of space in the jaw, the teeth are considered to be impacted and need to be removed, otherwise they can cause swelling and infections in the jaw, along with pain.

Tooth Extraction Service

To extract a tooth the mouth is frozen with local anesthesia so there will be no pain felt during the procedure, but you may hear the roots as they release the tooth, and you may feel slight pressure as it is removed. The tooth is wiggled back and forth until it becomes loose and the roots break, allowing the tooth to be tugged free of the gums. After the procedure there may be some pain or discomfort, and the gums may receive a stitch to help them heal back together. Where infection is a concern antibiotics will be prescribed and a warm salt water rinse may be recommended after the first few days to encourage healing.
