First 24 hours
Bite gently on gauze, rest, and use a cold compress for swelling. Skip straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing — they can dislodge the healing clot.
Oral Surgery
When a tooth has to go, we make it as calm and comfortable as surgery can be.
Tooth extractions
Removal as a last resort — done right
We save teeth whenever we can. But when decay, fracture, or crowding leaves no better option, a gentle extraction protects the rest of your mouth. You’ll be thoroughly numbed, sedation is available if you want it, and we’ll walk you through replacement options — implant, bridge, or partial — before the tooth ever comes out.
- 3D imaging for precise, predictable planning
- Sedation options for anxious patients
- Clear aftercare instructions & follow-up
Wisdom teeth removal
Third molars, minus the drama
Wisdom teeth tend to arrive where there’s no room for them — crowding neighbors, trapping food, or getting stuck (impacted) below the gums. Our 3D cone-beam scans show exactly where each tooth and nerve sits, so removal is planned to the millimeter. Most patients are back to normal routines within a few days.
- Best evaluated in the late teens, before roots fully form
- Sedation available for a stress-free experience
- Same-week appointments for painful wisdom teeth
Recovery basics
Healing well after oral surgery
Days 2–3
Soft foods, gentle salt-water rinses after meals, and over-the-counter pain relief as directed. Swelling usually peaks and then fades.
When to call us
Bleeding that won’t slow, pain that worsens after day three, or fever — call right away. Otherwise, we’ll see you at your follow-up.
