Your oral health is our top priority. Sometimes, that means recommending oral surgery in Anchorage to address serious dental issues. Tooth extractions, in particular, are often necessary when a tooth is badly decayed, damaged beyond repair, or risking the health of your surrounding teeth and gums. With the help of our team’s advanced techniques and technologies, you will:

Hearing you need oral surgery, like a tooth extraction, can seem overwhelming. However, at Aurora Family Dentistry, your dentist prefers non-surgical treatments whenever possible. If we can preserve your natural tooth with either a root canal, dental crown, or thorough gum disease treatment, we will.
However, there are cases where dental surgery will benefit your dental health. If your dentist determines it is necessary, you can take comfort in knowing they will use state-of-the-art technology. The PIEZOSURGERY® unit will ensure the most precise, comfortable, and efficient treatment possible. With this equipment, your dentist can:
If your tooth removal needs are more complex, your dentist may recommend you to an outside oral surgeon. Once your tooth is removed, and after a period of healing has passed, your dentist can proceed with replacing the tooth with a lifelike restoration.
In addition to using cutting-edge technology, you will also benefit from our numerous sedation options. Whether you want mild laughing gas to take the edge off or extra calming oral sedation, you will feel at ease and stress-free during your procedure.

For a healthy recovery, it’s best to ease slowly into exercise. You’ll want to avoid sports, workouts, and most other physical activity for the first 24 hours. Doing too much too soon can impede healing. For example, it can interfere with blood clotting. We recommend taking it easy for at least a few days.
The type of oral surgery you have will ultimately determine how much discomfort you feel, but rest assured our goal is always to provide the most comfortable dental care we can. For most of the oral surgery procedures we perform, over-the-counter pain relievers will take care of any discomfort. If needed, your dentist can prescribe something stronger to help you through the healing process.
You’ll need to avoid smoking for at least 12 hours prior to oral surgery (and 24 hours after). We perform most oral surgeries using only local anesthesia, so you’ll be able to enjoy a light meal several hours beforehand. We’ll give you more specific instructions. It’s a good idea to take off work or school for at least a day or two, depending on the kind of surgery you receive.
