Extractions
While we make every effort to save a tooth, sometimes a tooth is beyond the point of repair. It may be time to retire that tooth and start thinking of a replacement, such as an implant, bridge, or a denture.
During the extraction, you will be numb and should not feel much discomfort. Afterwards, you may be sore for a few days which is usually managed with Tylenol or Advil.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth are a third set of back molars that can start erupting around the ages of 17-25 years old. Often, the jaw bone is too small to accommodate proper growth of the teeth. This can cause the wisdom teeth get stuck or impacted in the jaws. Wisdom teeth which have not grown in properly can cause gum infections, cysts, and potentially cause problems for the teeth beside them.
We will evaluate your wisdom teeth and determine the best course of action for them.
