Tooth Extractions

The oral surgeons at Enhance Oral Surgery have an unparalleled passion for creating beautiful smiles.

Tooth Extraction

When the extraction of a tooth is required:

  1. An incision in the gums is made
  2. The tooth is removed
  3. The area is stitched up and is allowed to heal

During this time, it is important to think about a tooth replacement option. An extracted tooth leaves an open area in the jaw which, in time, allows the neighboring teeth to drift into the area where the tooth was extracted. This in turn, causes a chain reaction to all the surrounding teeth. Also, if you are considering placing an implant in the future, you should consider asking your dentist to place a bone graft at the time of surgery to preserve the bone width and height.

Laser Pocket Disinfection (LPD)

A Cleaner, Healthier Mouth

  • Kills bacteria and disrupts biofilm to reduce inflammation
  • No shots needed
  • Maintain healthy gums and avoid progression of gum disease
  • No antibiotics needed, avoids antibiotic resistance
  • The laser light can reach and destroy bacteria up to 6mm beyond the surface to help prevent bacteria from spreading back into the pocket
  • Safe for medically compromised patients, those on blood thinners, or those with diabetes

Socket Regeneration

When a tooth is extracted and an implant is to be placed (either simultaneously or in the future) it is always necessary to complete bone grafting within the residual sockets that are left behind after the roots of the tooth are removed.

The shape of the tooth root is always different from the shape of a dental implant and hence there are always residual socket defects (holes) that must be filled in so that there can be excellent contact of the implant to the newly formed bone.
