We always focus on gentle care and the patient experience. We’ll make sure you're comfortable and at ease when a tooth needs to be extracted.
As dentists we never like to see a client lose a tooth, but sometimes there are no other options. People require extractions for a number of reasons
- crowding & orthodontics
- extensive decay
- root fracture
- severe gum disease
- impacted teeth
- non-functioning wisdom teeth
Dr. Geoffrey Gay is very experienced with oral surgery/tooth extractions. He will talk with you about the proposed treatment alternatives. If you’re anxious, oral sedation is an option to help you relax a bit. On the day of your extraction our team will be there to answer your questions and will follow-up with you by phone once you’ve returned home to, review home care instruction.
Generally if stitches are required, they will be dissolvable to eliminate the need for a follow up visit. In the case of more complex procedures, Dr. Gay may suggest referral to an Oral and Maxillofacial specialist.
