REMOVAL & ORAL SURGERY
Wisdom teeth, tooth extractions, and so much more.
Although dentists commonly extract wisdom teeth, there are many other procedures that could save your smile. Oral surgeons perform a variety of procedures beyond just wisdom tooth extractions. These other procedures can help maintain and improve your oral health and the appearance of your smile.
- Regular tooth extraction
- Impacted tooth extraction
- Dental implant restoration
- Periodontal or gum surgery
An oral surgeon who has attended additional years of dental school performs most of these more complex treatments. Our team refers these more complex issues to our partner oral surgeon (who visits our office).
Although the idea of surgery may sound intimidating, our team is by your side and will listen to any concerns you have. We work closely with the oral surgeon to ensure you receive the highest standard of care.

TOOTH EXTRACTIONS
Simple, fast, and gentle tooth removal in Hadlock, WA.
Dr. Ryan always strives to save your natural teeth. She offers a range of comprehensive services designed to maintain your smile and health. However, on occasion, she may need to remove your tooth in order to protect your health. Extractions are commonly performed due to the following reasons:
- Pain when chewing
- Causing overcrowding or bite problems
- Damaging other teeth
- Causing tooth misalignment
- Severe decay or damage to the tooth
For the benefit of your overall health
Your caring dentist will often recommend removing these teeth for the benefit of your overall health. The process for removal is simple.
First, your dentist will carefully numb the area (we offer sedation for more nervous patients). Then, they will rock the tooth in the socket to loosen it, and finally, they will pull it out.
Next, they will cover the socket with gauze to prevent bleeding and infection. After the procedure, we will discuss restorative options such as a dental implant or dental bridge.
ORAL SURGERY IN HADLOCK, WA
Expert care for more complex cases.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
When your third set of molars do not erupt properly or are too big for your jaw, they can cause pain and other dental problems. An oral surgeon is able to remove both regular wisdom teeth and impacted teeth. Using advanced skill and precise techniques, the teeth can be comfortably removed and balance reinstated to your mouth.
Periodontal Surgery
When gum disease or soft tissue problems have developed beyond the realms of oral hygiene maintenance, a gum surgeon can help restore your health. Through deep cleanings and gum contouring, common cosmetic and restorative complaints can be fixed. Very often laser dentistry is employed to produce more precise and effective results.
Dental Implants
When you have a missing tooth, dental implants could be the ideal answer. An implant mimics your tooth’s natural root and is surgically placed into your jaw bone by a trained oral surgeon. The surgeon assesses the ideal placement and ensures a solid foundation for the implant. Afterward, our restorative dentist places a dental crown or denture on top of the implant to restore your smile.
