Oral Surgery

The procedure of extracting or “pulling” teeth is classified as the simplest form of oral surgery. At Element Dental & Orthodontics, we’ll carefully help you identify the circumstances in which oral surgery is the best treatment plan. These include:

• Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth
• Teeth that have been severely damaged and cannot be restored
• Baby teeth that are “stuck” or preventing permanent teeth from erupting
• Loose teeth that require extraction to prepare for full or partial dentures

Sedation dentistry is a safe way to relax or even sleep through your dental procedures. We offer a range of options, including: minimal sedation (laughing gas), moderate sedation (a little more relaxed), deep sedation (still conscious and can be awakened, but not aware of sensation or anxiety), and general anesthesia (unconscious) which is reserved for more involved oral surgeries.

We know that no one looks forward to having teeth extracted, but if you require oral surgery, our team at Element Dental & Orthodontics is one of the most skilled and compassionate in the area. Call to make an appointment at one of our seven conveniently located offices.
