While Dr. Vivian Throop makes every attempt to rescue and maintain your natural teeth, there are instances where a tooth or teeth may have to be extracted. A simple extraction takes out a tooth that's visible over the gumline. This is normally used for a tooth that's damaged or decayed beyond repair. A surgical extraction takes out a tooth that hasn't erupted above the gums. Surgical extractions are commonly done to take out wisdom teeth and impacted teeth that don't have enough space to fit into your smile. No matter the reason for getting an extraction at City of Oaks Dental, our team will give you the best treatment. Our Raleigh, NC office provides multiple sedation techniques, such as nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation, and that means you can remain comfortable during your procedure. Contact our team to find out more or to schedule an exam with Dr. Throop to enhance your smile.
What To Expect from Tooth Extractions
Dental extractions are performed in our office using local anesthesia on the area near the tooth being removed. Different types of sedation could be used, depending on the extent of the extraction and to also help you stay relaxed in case you have any dental worries. When you're prepared, Dr. Throop will start the procedure. For a simple extraction, Dr. Throop will loosen up the tooth using a special device known as an elevator prior to removal. A surgical extraction entails making incisions in your gums to get to the tooth. If needed, the tooth might be broken into smaller pieces so that it can be taken out. When the tooth is removed, Dr. Throop will stitch the incision in the gums. A prescription for antibiotics may be written before and after the procedure — in case you have a current infection, if your immune system is weak, if the process is extended, or if you have some other special health conditions.
Simple and Efficient Extraction
Whether you have a tooth that is damaged or if your mouth doesn't have space for a new tooth, a simple and efficient tooth extraction at City of Oaks Dental can help in improving your smile and oral health. Make an appointment with Dr. Throop at her office in Raleigh, NC to find out more about surgical and simple tooth extractions. If you have dental anxieties or fears, ask about sedation options to help you stay calm and relaxed during your procedure.

About UsCity of Oaks Dental Reviews
I’m an anxious patient when it comes to the dentist and city of oaks has the friendliest, most attentive, gentle staff. Jodi handled my annual cleaning and she talked me through every step and always asked how I was doing throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!
The TMJ evaluation was very thorough and Kaitlin and Dr. Throop explained all the tests and procedures in clear detail.
My family and I have received excellent care from Dr. Troop and her very competent team since she first took over the practice from our old dentist, Dr. Makely. Both my husband and I have experienced dental issues after-hours, and Dr. Thrips always responded quickly and with concern. We both highly recommend City of Oaks Dental.
I always receive personalized attention from Jody and Dr. Throop. While I’m here I feel like I’m the only thing that matters. This is a really professional, well run dental office.
Everyone is so pleasant and friendly, and they use the mist advanced systems and procedures I’ve had cleanings, fillings and even a crown and highly recommend City of Oaks Dentistry.
