Extractions


A tooth that can not be saved with restorative materials may need to be removed. First, the area will be numbed with anesthesia. The tooth is then loosened with a special dental instrument known as an elevator. After the tooth is loosened from the socket, it is removed. Stitches may be necessary after the removal of a tooth.


Sedation


IV Sedation/General Anesthesia, uses medications to allow the patient to go to sleep while receiving dental treatment. Surgical patients or patients with high levels of anxiety, or special needs may benefit from IV Sedation/General Anesthesia. The doctor can discuss the benefits of general anesthesia and help patients determine if it is the best choice for them.
