Extractions/Wisdom Teeth

What is a Dental Extraction?

A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from the mouth. Extractions are performed for a variety of reasons, most commonly when tooth decay has destroyed enough of the tooth that it can no longer be restored. In some cases, teeth may also be removed to make space for orthodontic treatment.

Wisdom Teeth (Third Molars)

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often cause problems as they emerge. These teeth may become impacted, crowd nearby teeth, or lead to pain, infection, or swelling. Because of these issues, wisdom teeth are frequently recommended for extraction to protect overall oral health.

IV Sedation for Extractions

Family Dentistry of Texoma offers wisdom teeth removal and extractions under IV sedation at our Wichita Falls office—a service not commonly available in general dental offices in the area. IV sedation allows patients to remain relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure, helping reduce anxiety and discomfort while improving the overall experience and quality of care.

Why Choose Extraction and Wisdom Teeth Removal with IV Sedation?

Choosing extraction with IV sedation provides a calmer, more comfortable experience for patients who may feel anxious or uncomfortable about dental procedures. Removing problematic or impacted wisdom teeth can prevent future pain, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth. With IV sedation, patients often remember little to nothing about the procedure and recover more comfortably, making it easier to protect long-term oral health while feeling confident and cared for every step of the way.
