Tooth Extractions
At Leading Edge Oral Surgery, we understand that tooth pain, swelling, and other oral symptoms can significantly impact your quality of life. These signs may indicate oral infection or other underlying problems, making tooth extractions sometimes necessary to preserve your oral health. Contact an oral surgeon at the onset of tooth pain.
Common Reasons for Tooth Extractions
Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed, have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Others may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth, such as impacted teeth, or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
The Impact of Tooth Extractions
The removal of a single tooth can lead to problems related to your chewing ability, problems with your jaw joint, and shifting teeth, which can have a major impact on your dental health.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon
“Teeth extractions are often necessary to alleviate pain, prevent infection, or create space for orthodontic treatment. Our skilled team ensures a smooth process, prioritizing your comfort and oral health every step of the way.”
Our Approach to Tooth Extractions
Our skilled oral surgeons perform a range of tooth extractions, including general extractions and wisdom tooth removal, using minimally invasive techniques that promote faster healing. We understand the importance of your comfort and offer anxiety-eliminating sedation dentistry solutions, ensuring a stress-free experience.
Tooth Extractions May Be Necessary in Cases of:
- Impacted teeth
- Problematic wisdom teeth
- Severe tooth decay
- Advanced gum disease
- Abscessed teeth
- Fractured roots
- Severely broken teeth
- Retained baby teeth
- Orthodontic treatment plan
- Preparation for dental implants
- Emergency situations
Removal of Failing Teeth Allows for Dental Implant Placement
In cases where emergency situations, failing teeth, or other oral conditions necessitate tooth extractions, tooth replacement with dental implants is often recommended. Our oral surgeons utilize advanced techniques such as socket preservation, a bone grafting procedure that adds bone and growth factors directly to open tooth sockets, to preserve extraction sites for future implant placement.
As a leading oral and maxillofacial surgical practice, we have the advanced skill and technique to provide tooth extractions and implant surgery, often within the same visit. This comprehensive approach ensures optimal outcomes and a seamless transition to tooth replacement.
