Tooth Extractions & Oral Surgery in Brighton

Dr. John Schmidt provides tooth extractions and selected oral surgery procedures at Mountain View Family Dental. He is a general dentist, not an oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist, and he personally provides the treatment offered at our Brighton office.

A note on oral surgery: Mountain View Family Dental is a general dentistry practice. Dr. John Schmidt is a general dentist, not an ADA-recognized specialist, and provides oral surgery as part of general practice. Where treatment is better handled by a specialist, we will refer you.

Oral Surgery

When Surgery Is the Right Answer

The first step is an examination and appropriate imaging so we can understand the tooth, the surrounding bone, and the safest way to proceed.

Care Available in Our Office

Our in-office care includes dental extractions, including some wisdom teeth, and related procedures that support general dental treatment. The recommendation depends on the position of the tooth, your health, and the complexity shown on your examination and x-rays.

Comfort During Treatment

We use local anesthetic and take time to explain what is happening. We do not advertise or provide in-office sedation. If you are anxious, tell us before the visit so we can plan a calmer appointment with breaks, clear signals, and the comfort options available in the office.

When We Refer

Some cases need hospital resources or specialist care. If Dr. Schmidt believes a referral is the safer choice, we will explain why and help coordinate the next step.
