Types of Tooth Extraction Procedures
Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Bone Grafts for Implant Preparation
For patients considering dental implants after extractions, bone grafts are often necessary to prepare the extraction site for successful implant placement. Our bone grafting procedures to enhance bone density and ensure optimal conditions for implant stability.
Light Sedation/Nitrous Oxide Gas
Light sedation and nitrous oxide gas are safe and effective options to help patients feel calm and relaxed during dental procedures.
- Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is inhaled through a mask and induces a mild euphoric feeling, reducing anxiety and discomfort.
- Light sedation involves administering medication intravenously to achieve a deeper state of relaxation, yet allowing patients to remain conscious and responsive.
These options are ideal for patients with dental anxiety or undergoing complex treatments.
