Many times, wisdom teeth are either impacted, positioned incorrectly, or they just don’t come out together where they are not functional anymore. They will just sit there and become a problem for potentially other teeth as well. We can use a gentle numbing technique to get those removed in an efficient manner for you.
Many times we will work with families with children who are in college so that their extractions can be achieved during their summertime. We’re always here to help you with any problems, including wisdom teeth problems, so please give us a call.

Prioritize Your Dental Health With Comfortable Extractions
Preventive dental care is always the best approach. Our team also prioritizes saving a damaged or diseased tooth with restorative care. Still, there are times when a tooth extraction may be necessary to protect your overall oral health. If needed, Dr. Joh will plan your extraction using technology such as intraoral cameras and panoramic X-rays. This helps ensure a successful outcome.
After your extraction, you can replace teeth with:
- A Single Implant Crown – If one tooth is removed, you can have an implant-crown combination. Dr. Joh can refer you to an implant specialist, who will place the implant. Then you’ll return here for your crown. The natural-looking crown functions like a natural tooth.
- Dental Bridges – If you’d prefer not to get implants, you can replace one tooth or several teeth with a standard bridge. This kind of bridge closes the gap in your smile, anchoring to the teeth on either side. Or you can get an implant-supported bridge, which eliminates the need to remove structure from healthy teeth.
- Dentures – If you are replacing all of your teeth, a full denture can be custom-designed to give you a complete smile. Partial dentures are also available if you have some teeth remaining. You can also pair your dentures with implants. Using implants helps stop bone loss in your jaw, unlike standard dentures.
- Full-Mouth Reconstruction – If your extraction is part of a full-mouth reconstruction, Dr. Joh can move forward with restorative treatments to rebuild your entire smile.
For your extraction process and any restorative treatments, your dentist will numb your mouth so you don’t feel a thing. If you are nervous or worried about discomfort, you can also receive sedation. Cozy amenities are also available to ease your nerves.

Common Questions About Tooth Removal
The exact cost for a tooth extraction can vary because no two patients are alike. Rather than quoting a number that may not be the actual cost for your extraction, we’d rather have you come in for an exam first. Then we can see exactly what will be needed and give you an accurate idea of your cost. We offer financing options through CareCredit if you’d like to set up a payment arrangement for your care.
For most standard tooth removals, you can expect the extraction site to heal in about seven to 10 days. You can play a big role in the actual healing time, however. Following your aftercare instructions and limiting your physical exertion for a few days will help you heal faster and more comfortably.
Our patients often tell us that their extractions are comfortable. We explain everything that will happen and answer all your questions before your procedure, so there aren’t any unpleasant surprises. We numb your mouth with local anesthesia. If you’d like, you can also receive dental sedation. You can choose laughing gas or twilight sedation.
