Improve Your Oral Health with Oral Surgery Services

Oral Surgery

At OHIOSmiles, we understand that oral surgery can significantly concern many patients. Still, our team, led by Dr. Antalis, is dedicated to providing safe, effective, and compassionate care. 

Whether you need a tooth extraction, wisdom tooth removal, or are considering a dental implant, we are here to guide you through the process with expertise and care. Our goal is to ensure your comfort while delivering the best possible results for your oral health.

We utilize advanced techniques and local anesthesia to ensure your oral surgery is smooth and painless. At OHIOSmiles, we focus on providing a positive, stress-free experience. Below, we discuss one of the most common types of oral surgery we perform: tooth extractions.

Tooth Extractions in Cambridge, OH

A tooth extraction is a type of oral surgery in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the bone. Although it may sound intimidating, tooth extractions are common procedures at our practice, and we are committed to ensuring you are well informed and comfortable throughout the process.

Sometimes, a tooth may need to be extracted due to extensive decay, infection, crowding, or injury. Wisdom teeth are another common reason for extraction, as these third molars often don’t have enough space to emerge correctly and can cause pain or other dental complications.

We will thoroughly review your options when you visit Dr. Antalis for a tooth extraction. We may take X-rays to assess the tooth and surrounding structures to determine the best approach for removal. If necessary, we may also perform a consultation to discuss possible next steps in your treatment, such as a dental implant to replace the missing tooth.

What Can I Expect When Getting a Tooth Pulled?

Before tooth extraction, our team at OHIOSmiles will thoroughly review your medical history and discuss the procedure. On the day of your extraction, we will ensure you are comfortable before administering the chosen forms of anesthesia.

During the procedure, you should not feel any pain. Dr. Antalis will carefully loosen and extract the tooth from the socket. Once the tooth is removed, we may place stitches to close the incisions and promote proper healing, depending on the complexity of the extraction.

When Is Tooth Removal Recommended?

Tooth removal, though standard, is often a last resort when other restorative options are not feasible. Several situations may necessitate a tooth extraction.

Impacted wisdom tooth removal, severe tooth decay, extensive gum disease, and irreparable tooth fractures are common reasons for extractions. Additionally, orthodontic treatment, such as braces, may require tooth removal to create space for proper alignment, leading to better health.
