TOOTH EXTRACTIONS
Simple, fast, and gentle tooth removal in Port Angeles, WA
Our Doctors are always striving to save your natural teeth. Offering a range of comprehensive services designed to maintain your smile and health. However, on occasion, the best course of action is to remove your tooth in order to protect your health.
Ultimately, our goal is to preserve your oral health and function. Extractions are commonly performed due to the following reasons:
- Pain when chewing
- Causing overcrowding or bite problems
- Damaging other teeth
- Causing tooth misalignment
- Severe decay or damage to the tooth
Many times, it is for the benefit of your overall health to have these teeth removed. For example, wisdom teeth that are impacted or causing problems often need to be extracted. However, the process for removal is simple. First, your caring dentist carefully numbs the area (we offer sedation for more nervous patients). Next, the tooth is rocked in the socket so it is loosened.
Then, it is pulled out. After that, the socket is covered with gauze to prevent bleeding and infection. Finally, you will be given instructions on how to care for the area as it heals.

Expert care for more complex cases.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
When your third set of molars do not erupt properly or are too big for your jaw, they can cause pain and other dental problems. In fact, impacted wisdom teeth that are unable to fully emerge through the gums can lead to infection, damage to adjacent teeth, and even cysts or tumors. Fortunately, an oral surgeon is able to remove both regular wisdom teeth and impacted teeth. Using advanced skill and precise techniques, the teeth can be comfortably removed and balance reinstated to your mouth.
Periodontal Surgery
When gum disease or soft tissue problems have developed beyond the realms of oral hygiene maintenance, a gum surgeon can help restore your health. Consequently, through deep cleanings and gum contouring, common cosmetic and restorative complaints can be effectively addressed. Additionally, very often laser dentistry is employed to produce more precise and effective results, leading to a faster recovery time.
Dental Implants
When you have a missing tooth, dental implants could be the ideal answer. First, an implant mimics your tooth’s natural root and is surgically placed into your jawbone by a trained oral surgeon. Next, the surgeon assesses the ideal placement and ensures a solid foundation for the implant. Afterward, our restorative dentist places a dental crown or denture on top of the implant to restore your smile.
