TOOTH EXTRACTIONS - SEATTLE, WA

Tooth extraction is relatively simple, but can be complex depending on your situation. Simple extractions involve locally numbing the area around a tooth and effectively removing it with specialized instruments. You have the option of being awake or asleep for this type of procedure, we leave that up to you and your comfort level.

Complex surgical extractions involve impacted teeth, teeth in an unfavorable position or actively infected teeth. We generally recommend being sedated for these types of extractions but this will be discussed at your consultation with Dr. Epstein. We carefully numb the area for treatment and effectively remove the tooth. In some cases, a bone graft is placed within the extraction site, covered by a suitable membrane and closed using sutures. We continue to assist you with all your post operative care and concerns while you recover.
