Oral Surgery

Tooth extractions can range from routine to complex, depending on the condition and position of the tooth. At Dental Esthetics Boston, your trusted dentist in Boston, we offer both simple and surgical extractions with the utmost care and precision. Our highly trained specialists focus on patient comfort, using minimally invasive techniques and advanced technology to ensure a smooth, fast, and pain-free experience.

​

A simple extraction is typically performed when the tooth is fully visible above the gumline. Under local anesthesia, our oral surgeon gently loosens the tooth and removes it in one piece. For teeth that are impacted, broken at the gumline, or trapped beneath the surface, a surgical extraction is required. In these cases, the surgeon will make a small incision in the gum tissue to access and remove the tooth. Depending on its condition and orientation, the tooth may be extracted whole or in segments. Dissolvable stitches are usually placed to promote healing and eliminate the need for suture removal.

​

As a leading Boston dentist, we are committed to making the extraction process as comfortable as possible. Our specialists perform atraumatic extractions using refined techniques that minimize stress on surrounding bone and soft tissue, which can lead to faster recovery and reduced post-operative discomfort.

After a simple extraction, over-the-counter pain relievers are generally sufficient for managing any temporary soreness. For surgical extractions, we may prescribe additional medication to ease discomfort. Most patients report a significant improvement within a couple of days, with full healing typically occurring in 1 to 2 weeks.

​

Our team will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing. If you're replacing your tooth with a dental implant or other restoration, we’ll guide you through the next steps to complete your treatment plan.
