Oral Surgery

Typical length:
1–2 hrs

Our doctors may determine that you need a tooth extraction for various reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth) or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.

We do not offer sedation. Local anesthetic is sufficient for the types of procedures we perform here, so you’ll be numb and comfortable throughout your treatment. Our doctors will talk through what to expect during your consultation.

What Should I Expect During Recovery After Oral Surgery?
