Our Treatments

Oral Surgery

Routine and surgical extractions performed with precision and care — so you can move forward with confidence and comfort.

When a tooth cannot be saved — due to decay, damage, infection, or crowding — a carefully performed extraction is often the best path forward. Dr. Kyle Smith handles both routine and surgical extractions in-office, using precise technique and appropriate anesthesia to keep every procedure as comfortable as possible.

Routine Extractions

A routine extraction is performed when a tooth is fully erupted and can be removed without the need for incisions. Common reasons include severe decay, advanced gum disease, or a tooth that cannot be saved with restorative treatment. Dr. Smith uses careful technique and appropriate anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.

Surgical Extractions

Some teeth require a more involved approach — particularly those that are impacted, broken at the gumline, or have curved or fused roots. Surgical extractions involve a small incision in the gum tissue to access and remove the tooth safely. Dr. Smith performs surgical extractions with precision, minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissue for a smoother recovery.

Post-Extraction Care & Dry Socket Prevention

Proper aftercare is essential to a smooth, complication-free recovery. Dr. Smith and our team provide detailed post-extraction instructions and are available to answer questions during your healing period. We also take proactive steps to reduce the risk of dry socket — a painful condition that can occur when the protective blood clot is dislodged before the socket heals.
