Types of Extractions Performed

Simple Extractions

For visible teeth, simple extraction involves loosening the tooth with an instrument called an elevator before removing it with dental forceps. This procedure typically requires only local anesthesia.

Surgical Extractions

When a tooth hasn't fully erupted or has broken at the gumline, surgical extraction becomes necessary. This procedure may involve making a small incision in the gum tissue and removing bone around the tooth. Surgical extractions often require stronger anesthesia options.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth frequently cause problems due to limited space in the jaw. Dr. Peterson and Dr. Keiser have extensive experience removing these problematic third molars to prevent pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.

Recovery After Tooth Extraction

Post-extraction healing typically follows this timeline:

  • First 24 hours: Blood clot formation and initial healing
  • Days 1-3: Decreasing discomfort and swelling
  • Days 4-7: Soft tissue healing progresses
  • Weeks 1-2: Gradual return to normal function
  • Months 1-3: Bone tissue fills the extraction site

The dental team provides detailed aftercare instructions, including:

  • How to manage bleeding and swelling
  • Pain control methods
  • Diet recommendations
  • Oral hygiene adaptations
  • Activity restrictions
  • When to call the office with concerns

Tooth Replacement Options

After healing, Dr. Peterson and Dr. Keiser can discuss tooth replacement options, including:

  • Dental implants - Titanium posts that integrate with your jawbone and support replacement teeth
  • Bridges - Fixed appliances that span the gap left by missing teeth
  • Partial dentures - Removable appliances that restore function and appearance

Each option has advantages, and the doctors will help you select the best solution for your needs.

Oral Sedation for Comfort and Anxiety Relief

For patients who experience dental anxiety or prefer additional comfort during their procedure, oral sedation is available. This involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to help you feel relaxed and at ease while remaining conscious.

Oral sedation can make both simple and surgical extractions more manageable, especially for those with heightened anxiety or complex treatment needs. Dr. Peterson and Dr. Keiser will discuss whether this option is appropriate for your situation and ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
