Oral surgery sounds serious, but at Pacific Woods Dental, it’s another part of our whole-health approach to helping you feel better.

Tooth Extractions: A Friendly Farewell

Tooth Extractions:
A Friendly Farewell

Sometimes a tooth can’t stay—whether it’s due to crowding, decay, or damage. When that day comes, our Portland dentists have your back. 

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Your third molars can show up uninvited to the party and make it crowded. We make wisdom teeth removal as straightforward as possible, using cutting-edge oral surgery techniques to evict these party crashers.

Surgical Extractions

Whether you’re dealing with a badly broken tooth, unusual tooth anatomy, or a pesky molar that just didn’t grow in properly, our surgical extractions gently and quickly uproot these troublemakers to return you to normal.

Implant Placement:
Precision Now, Strength Later

Implant Placement:
Precision Now,
Strength Later

Getting a dental implant is a straightforward oral surgery. With our advanced imaging tools, we plan the placement and make sure everything lines up just right. Then, we expertly place a sturdy post into your jaw, the foundation for your new tooth. 

The implant will gradually bond with your jawbone over time, creating a stable base for long-term success. Think of it like planting the roots of a tree—it takes care and patience, but the results are worth it.

FAQs: A Field Guide
to Dental Surgery in Portland

Trees
Is the dental implants procedure painful?
Not at all! We use local anesthesia and can add dental sedation. Mild soreness afterward is normal, but most patients manage it with over-the-counter pain relievers. We’ll make sure you leave confident in your recovery plan.

If the blood clot over the extraction site comes loose, you may feel a sharp pain radiating to your ear 1-3 days after extraction. Call us right away if you suspect it.

A little bleeding is normal in the first 24 hours, so don’t be alarmed if you see light spotting or pink saliva. If you notice heavy bleeding that doesn’t slow down, give our Portland emergency dentist a call.

Most people feel back to normal after three to five days, though complete healing can take a couple of weeks. Stick to soft foods and follow our care instructions.
