Skilled Oral Surgeon in Thornton, CO

Get The Dental Care You Need

You may need extraction for severe tooth decay or damage, tooth overcrowding, or major impaction to the tooth. However, an intraoral X-ray will help us determine which option is best for your unique situation. Dr. Trembath can assist with a range of surgical procedures, from tooth extractions to wisdom teeth removal.

If you are experiencing tooth or jaw pain and suspect you may need an extraction, give us a call to set up a consultation with our oral surgeon in Thornton, CO!

The Platelet-Rich Fibrin Difference

We use Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to support your healing process and minimize pain during oral surgery. PRF is a unique, naturally derived substance created from your own blood. It contains a concentrated amount of platelets and white blood cells (leukocytes) embedded in a fibrin matrix. This stimulates tissue regeneration, reduces inflammation, and promotes faster healing.

Making Your Extraction Comfortable

During your session, Dr. Trembath will begin by numbing your tooth, jawbone, and the gums that surround the area with a local anesthetic. Although you should not feel pain, you may feel pressure from the doctor firmly rocking your tooth in order to widen the socket for removal.

Sectioning Teeth

Your tooth may be firmly embedded in its socket, or you may have a curved root, which would make it difficult to remove in one piece. If this is the case, Dr. Trembath will perform a procedure called sectioning, where the tooth is carefully divided into smaller sections. These sections can then be removed one at a time to ease the extraction process.

Home Care Instructions

To promote your healing, it’s important to bite on a gauze pad for approximately 30-45 minutes after your procedure – this encourages clot formation. To prevent dislodging the clot, we recommend that you avoid vigorous rinsing, using straws, smoking, drinking alcohol, and brushing your teeth for the next 72 hours.
