Tooth Removal

Have you been told that you need to have your wisdom teeth removed?

If we have enough room in the jaw the eruption of these teeth will be just a normal process of growing up.  However, many people only have enough room for twenty-eight teeth.   When there is not enough room for these teeth to erupt properly they become impacted. Wisdom teeth are considered “impacted” or unable to erupt when they have no place to go or grow. They may grow in sideway (which can destroy your second molar), only partially come through the gum causing a bacteria trap resulting in recurrent infections or remain trapped beneath the gum and bone forming fluid filled sac (cyst) or tumors that destroy the jaw or teeth surrounding this area.

Unfortunately, sometimes the only solution we have to your tooth pain or dental trouble is to remove the tooth. On the bright side, we can take care of any tooth removal that you need quickly and painlessly. Tooth removals, also called tooth extractions, typically fall into 2 main categories, simple extractions or surgical extractions. Simple Extraction: This means that no cutting, digging, bone removal or stitching was needed to remove your tooth. Surgical Extraction: A more technically unique circumstance that requires one or more of the following: cutting, digging, bone removal or stitching. Teeth that most often need to be surgically removed are upper molars, canines (I teeth), first pre molars and wisdom teeth.

If we can’t take care of your situation there will be no charge for your visit and we will give you your X ray to take to your dentist of choice. This excludes wisdom teeth.

It can be even more so if you’ve had it done in the past and it wasn’t a good experience!
