Dental Extraction

A simple extraction is performed on a tooth that is above the gumline and can be seen in the mouth.

It usually involves loosening the tooth and then removing it. Surgical extractions are for more complex cases. This requires more thought from the dentist or oral surgeon to extract the tooth. Gum tissue or even bone might need to be removed.

Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth — the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom.

If a wisdom tooth doesn't have room to grow (impacted wisdom tooth), resulting in pain, infection or other dental problems, you'll likely need to have it pulled. Wisdom tooth extraction may be done by a dentist or an oral surgeon.

A dental bone graft is necessary when bone loss has occurred in the jaw. This procedure is commonly performed prior to dental implant placement or when bone loss is negatively affecting neighboring teeth.

At the time of implant placement, a layer of connective tissue or AlloDerm is placed over the area of concern to prepare a thicker soft tissue foundation.

A dental emergency is an issue involving the teeth and supporting tissues that are of high importance to be treated by the relevant professional.
