Oral Surgery
When a tooth needs to be surgically removed, we provide comfortable, private care with sedation options available for patients who feel anxious.
What Is Oral Surgery?
At Isaacs Family Dental, oral surgery mainly refers to tooth extractions — removing a tooth that's too damaged, decayed, or misaligned to be saved with restorative treatment. We handle these procedures right here in our office, in a comfortable, private setting.
Our team takes the time to explain what to expect before, during, and after your procedure, so you feel prepared and at ease every step of the way.
Sedation for a Relaxed Experience
For patients who feel anxious about oral surgery, we offer nitrous oxide — also known as laughing gas — to help you relax during your procedure. It works quickly, wears off quickly, and lets you stay comfortable from start to finish.
A Comfortable, Private Environment
We've designed our office to feel calm and private, not clinical — because feeling at ease matters just as much as the procedure itself. Our team works at your pace and is always happy to answer questions before, during, or after your visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of oral surgery do you perform?
Our oral surgery services are focused mainly on tooth extractions, including wisdom teeth and other teeth that can't be saved with restorative treatment. We'll always explain your options before recommending surgery.
Is sedation available?
Yes. We offer nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, to help anxious patients relax during oral surgery. It wears off quickly, so most patients feel back to normal soon after their appointment.
Will I be able to drive myself home?
If you use nitrous oxide, you can typically drive yourself home once the effects wear off, since it's a mild, fast-acting sedative. We'll let you know what to expect based on the specifics of your procedure.
Is oral surgery painful?
The area is fully numbed with local anesthetic, and sedation is available for added comfort, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure itself. Some soreness afterward is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
