Surgical Extractions
Expert removal of impacted and complex teeth.
Some teeth cannot be removed with a simple extraction — they may be impacted, broken at the gumline, or have curved roots that require a surgical approach. At Omni Dental Studio in Riverview, FL, Dr. Ariana Merchi performs surgical extractions with precision and care, ensuring the procedure is as comfortable as possible and that you heal quickly and completely.
What Is a Surgical Extraction?
A surgical extraction is a more complex procedure than a simple extraction. It is used when a tooth is impacted (trapped beneath the gumline), broken off at the gumline, has curved or fused roots, or cannot be removed in one piece. Surgical extractions require an incision in the gum tissue and sometimes the removal of a small amount of bone to access the tooth.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are the most commonly impacted teeth. When they do not have enough room to emerge properly, they can become partially or fully trapped beneath the gumline — causing pain, infection, damage to neighboring teeth, and cyst formation. Surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth is one of the most common oral surgical procedures, and Dr. Merchi performs it routinely at Omni Dental Studio.
What to Expect During Recovery
After a surgical extraction, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and soreness for the first few days. Applying ice packs, taking prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication, and following a soft diet will help manage discomfort and promote healing. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Dr. Merchi will provide detailed post-operative instructions and schedule a follow-up to ensure proper healing.
