Tooth extractions
Removal may be considered when a tooth is diseased, damaged beyond repair, or creating another dental problem.
Oral surgery
Evaluation and coordinated care for surgical dental needs.
Some teeth and supporting structures require surgical treatment. The first step is understanding the condition, its complexity, and the appropriate setting for care.
← All procedures
Oral surgery is a category of care—not a provider title.
General dentists can perform some oral surgery, including straightforward extractions. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a dental specialist with hospital-based surgical training, and more complex cases may be referred for specialist care.
A clinical examination, health-history review, and appropriate imaging help determine whether a procedure is needed and who is best suited to provide it. The recommendation should account for tooth position, surrounding bone, medical considerations, and the goals of the overall treatment plan.

Tooth Extractions Eastland Family Dental performs straightforward extractions for children and adults and evaluates when a more complex case should be referred for specialist care. Apicoectomy An apicoectomy removes inflamed or infected tissue around the tip of a root and seals the root end when nonsurgical treatment alone cannot resolve the problem. Dental Bone Grafting Bone graft material can provide a framework for new bone growth when an extraction, implant plan, disease, or injury has left insufficient support. Wisdom Teeth Evaluation & Removal Eastland Family Dental evaluates wisdom teeth and provides removal when appropriate, with specialist referral based on position, complexity, and health considerations.
