Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. Teeth that are broken or damaged by decay can be fixed with a filling, crown, or other dental treatment. Sometimes, though, the damage is too severe to repair, so the dentist will recommend extraction
Dental surgeons may classify extractions as simple or surgical. A simple extraction involves a tooth that is visible above the gums and that a dentist can remove in one piece.
A surgical extraction is more complicated and involves the removal of gum tissue, bone, or both. The surgeon may need to remove the tooth in pieces.
Wisdom teeth are the last to erupt and usually the first to require extraction because in many people, they are impacted. This means that they have not fully emerged from the gums.
Wisdom teeth extraction is a common procedure in oral surgery.

“My daughter had her first exam with them today. I gave them a heads-up about my daughter, who has autism and anxiety. We could not be more pleased with how we were treated. The receptionist is a sweetheart on the phone and in person. The dental hygienist assistant (not sure on the proper terminology) was patient and kind with instructions and a very sweet demeanor in general. And Dr. Korat was quick and precise when it came down to a game plan. Overall we are excited to have them as a dentist. 100% would recommend them on hospitality alone!”

“Dr. Korat and his office was so kind to my daughter and I at our appointment today! He was so patient with my hyper child of mine and had talked to me of all of my concerns. I’m so happy that my daughter loves him and his staff every much 💞😁”

“My 12 yr. old granddaughter had to have dental surgery done a year ago and the dentist she was going to had retired after sending her for the surgery. We went to Dr Koart and are so happy to have someone like him that comes to our community. He took his time with her and explained everything he was doing. Very careful that she didn’t see anything going into her mouth that would scare her as she was already very nervous to the point of tears. After 2 fillings and 2 baby teeth pulled she was very pleased. When I asked her on a scale of 1-10 how bad was it, she rated it a 2. I say that’s pretty good for a scared child to rate her experience of having that done , ‘while I’m still awake”, as she put it. Great, gentle , kind and efficient. We will continue being his patients.”
