Impacted Extractions

Our Services » Oral Maxillofacial Surgery » Impacted Extractions

Extraction is the procedure of removing a tooth. Extractions are done for several reasons: if the tooth has experienced significant decay, if wisdom teeth are impacted and will likely cause damage to the adjacent teeth, or in preparation for dentures or implants. In the first instance, your Redwood City oral surgeon will always do everything in his or her power to keep your natural tooth, but if it has decayed to the point where it cannot be saved extraction will be recommended with either a bridge or implant to replace it.

If you have impacted wisdom teeth, there is no better choice in Redwood City, CA than to have Redwood City Dental Team find you an oral surgeon to perform extractions. After you are sedated, the gums in the rear of your mouth will be opened, and depending on the type of impaction, the teeth will either be pulled directly or cut in half to ease the removal. You will feel no pain, and after a short healing period, you will regain the full strength, comfort, and functionality of your teeth.
