ORAL SURGERY 

It’s so hard to say goodbye . . . to a tooth. But we make it as easy and painless as possible.

COMMON REASONS FOR AN EXTRACTION:

  • severe decay in the tooth

  • broken tooth

  • periodontal disease and bone loss

  • preparation for orthodontic treatment

  • impacted wisdom tooth

WHAT TO EXPECT

At the time of the extraction, the doctor will numb your tooth, jawbone, and surrounding gums with a local anesthetic. During the extraction process, you will feel a lot of pressure but no pain. After the procedure, it’s important to take inflammation-reducing pain relievers and use lots of ice. You will be eating soft foods for a couple of days. After that, you should be back to normal.
