Tooth Extractions

One of the most common oral surgeries we perform is tooth extraction. This procedure involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. Tooth extractions can be necessary for a number of reasons, including damage or decay that is beyond repair or if there is overcrowding in the mouth. While the thought of having a tooth extracted may seem dreadful, our team of experienced professionals is here to ensure that the process is as comfortable and pain-free as possible. 

Preserving your natural smile is our top priority. We strive to offer a variety of procedures to ensure that we can provide the best possible care for our patients. We understand that there may be situations when extraction is the only option. This is typically done when a tooth is severely damaged or decayed beyond repair, jeopardizing the health of surrounding teeth and gums. Additionally, extraction may be necessary to allow for proper alignment of teeth or as a result of periodontal disease. In these instances, we make sure to provide a comfortable experience and educate our patients on how to properly care for their teeth and gums post-extraction

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Wisdom teeth extractions are a well-known dental procedure that falls within our realm of services. These teeth, also known as third molars, often cause trouble for people and need to be removed. The reason for this is simple – our jaws have evolved to be smaller than our ancestors’, while our teeth have remained the same size. This makes it difficult for all our teeth to fit in our mouths, leading to overcrowding and misalignment. Wisdom teeth, being the last to come in, often don’t have enough room to grow properly, causing pain, infection, and other dental problems. As dental professionals, we understand the complexities of wisdom teeth removal and strive to provide the most sophisticated and advanced techniques to ensure our patients have a comfortable and successful experience.

After the procedure, it is important to avoid any strenuous activities and consume only soft foods. During the first few days, swelling and mild pain are common, and it is recommended to rest and apply ice packs to the affected area to minimize discomfort. It is also important to maintain proper oral hygiene, gently rinsing with a saline solution or diluted mouthwash. Above all, patience is key when it comes to post-care for wisdom teeth extractions. Taking the time to properly care for yourself after the procedure will ensure a speedy and effective recovery.
