At Wisdom Teeth & Oral Surgery Center of Seattle, we provide expert surgical extraction services to ensure the health and comfort of our patients. Surgical extractions are necessary for teeth that cannot be easily accessed or removed through simple extractions. This often includes impacted teeth, broken teeth, or teeth that are causing severe pain or infection.
What is a Surgical Extraction?
A surgical extraction involves removing a tooth that is not easily accessible in the mouth. This procedure typically requires making an incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and bone. In some cases, the tooth may need to be sectioned into smaller pieces to facilitate its removal. Our experienced oral surgeons utilize advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to perform these procedures with precision and care.
When is a Surgical Extraction Needed?
Surgical extractions are commonly recommended for:
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Severely decayed teeth
- Broken or fractured teeth
- Teeth causing severe pain or infection
- Teeth obstructing orthodontic treatment
