Oral surgery and periodontal care
When a tooth has to go, we make it straightforward.
Some teeth cannot be saved, and some wisdom teeth cause more trouble than they are worth.
About this service
An extraction is recommended when a tooth is too damaged or infected to restore, when wisdom teeth are impacted or repeatedly causing pain, or when a tooth needs to come out to make orthodontic treatment possible. We plan with x-rays and, for more complex teeth, a 3D scan.
We remove teeth in the office, including emergency extractions, and talk through replacing the tooth when that matters.
If you are in pain now, you do not need to wait for a planned appointment. Call the office. We hold time for emergencies every day we are open, including Sunday mornings.
Who it may be appropriate for
- A tooth that is broken or decayed beyond repair
- Wisdom teeth that are impacted, infected or crowding other teeth
- Patients who need a tooth removed urgently because of pain or infection
A guide, not a diagnosis. Only an exam can confirm what is right for you.
