Oral Surgery in SE Edmonton
In more advanced situations, we bring in a separate doctor to perform surgical extractions that require specialised care. Sedation is also available to ensure a pleasant experience. No outside referrals are necessary.
Why Choose Us
At Aurora Dental, we provide comfortable oral surgery with our various sedation options. We will not begin your surgery until we ensure you are entirely comfortable. Dr. Rakhee, who worked at a denture clinic in a small town in Michigan, has extensive experience providing full-mouth extractions. She also has considerable experience performing wisdom teeth removal.
Because of Dr. Rakhee’s skill set, she can provide quick and efficient extractions that are less likely to produce complications or pain afterward. Another benefit of having an extraction performed at our dental office is you don’t have to see an oral surgeon. “The fees are almost twice what we’re going to charge. So we’re a far more economical option for taking out teeth and we’ve got the same tools available to us,” she said.
What to Expect
On the day of your surgery, you should eat breakfast and take any medications. Once you’re here, we’ll provide you with the necessary anesthetic to ensure you are entirely comfortable. You’ll be given enough anesthetic, not just for the procedure but also for a few hours after your surgery (which can be the most painful time).
Once you’re numb, we’ll show you your teeth on the X-rays or photos we take. The reason we do that is, so you understand why your tooth needs to come out. We’ll also inform you of your options for replacing the tooth.
Then, when you’re ready, we’ll lay you back in the chair. You can watch television or Netflix during your procedure.
You may just feel slight pressure when your dentist removes the tooth, but nothing more than that. Once your tooth is out, we pack it and will stitch the area using self-dissolving sutures.
We’ll always make sure that patients remain in the chair for about five minutes before leaving the appointment
Post-Surgery Instructions
Following your surgery, you’ll be given take-home instructions on what you need to do for your post-operative care. We’ll do a follow-up phone call with you to make sure everything is going well.
