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.
