Tooth Extractions

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

Tooth Extraction

When a tooth needs to be extracted, the process typically involves:

  1. Making a small incision in the gums
  2. Removing the tooth
  3. Closing the area with sutures to allow proper healing

After an extraction, it’s important to plan for tooth replacement. Leaving an empty space in the jaw can cause nearby teeth to shift into the gap, affecting your bite and overall alignment. If you’re considering a dental implant in the future, ask your dentist about placing a bone graft during the extraction. This helps preserve bone height and width for the best long-term result.

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.
