Oral Surgery Services
One of the most common procedures performed in our dental office is tooth extractions. It is done for a variety of reasons, including joint problems in the jaw, shifting teeth, severe tooth decay, crowded teeth, gum disease, dental injuries, and to have wisdom teeth removed. We, at Smiles @ Fleetwood have an in house doctor limited to oral surgery to do the more complex cases which are often referred to an oral surgeon.
What can you expect from your oral surgery at our office? During the initial consultation, we will assess the affected tooth and surrounding gums. We may also take dental x-rays to see the bone levels and determine the extent of the damage.
Depending on whether your diagnosis is considered simple or surgical, the details of your tooth extraction will differ. A simple extraction removes natural teeth that are clearly visible and accessible. Whereas a surgical extraction involves an incision being made to remove tooth and bone below the gum line.
During a simple tooth extraction, you will be administered a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth. So, while you may feel some pressure during the extraction, you shouldn't experience any pain. Then, your dentist will use various tools to extract the tooth including an elevator to loosen the tooth and forceps to remove it.
For a surgical tooth extraction, you will likely be administered both local anesthesia and intravenous anesthesia. Depending on your case, your oral surgeon may also administer a general anesthetic to sedate you during the procedure. Sedation dentistry is especially beneficial if you experience dental anxiety and can be done by request. We offer both IV and oral sedation. Once numbed and/ or sedated, your oral surgeon will make a small incision into your gums. Depending on your case, some bone around the tooth may need to be removed. The tooth may also need to be fragmented into multiple pieces before being extracted.
The comfort and wellbeing of our patients is our top priority. Our team of dental surgeons, hygienists, and other staff members will do everything in our power to provide painless treatment and top-quality service. While a tooth extraction can be overwhelming, it prevents complications in the future such as oral diseases, jaw issues, biting problems, shifting teeth, and more. Our oral surgeon surrey office comes highly recommended and guarantees amazing results for every patient.

Treatment
Most often the extraction surgery will be done in our office. You may choose to have the treatment completed under oral sedation which is safe and comfortable. Ask your dentist to review the recommended procedures and options specific for you. On rare occasions a referral to an oral surgeon may be suggested.
You also have the option to replace bone into the socket (hole) to maintain the width and height of the bone where your tooth once was. This is important if you are considering an implant. (See implant section)
