Oral surgery can feel overwhelming, but our experienced team is here to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Whether you’re dealing with pain, infection, or preparing for orthodontic work, we will walk you through every step.
Our comprehensive care includes:

While our skilled dentists complete most extractions right here in our office, we also partner with a trusted visiting oral surgeon for especially complex procedures. This collaboration ensures you always receive top-quality care without needing to juggle multiple appointments.
If you’re feeling anxious about your visit, don’t worry. Patient comfort is a core part of what we do. We’ll talk through any questions you have and offer sedation options to help you stay relaxed. Visit us at our Ballard Dental Arts office and discover a stress-free approach to oral surgery.
TOOTH EXTRACTIONS
Quick, gentle tooth removal in Seattle, WA.
Sometimes, removing a tooth is the best choice for maintaining your overall dental health. Whether it’s due to infection, overcrowding, or trauma, an extraction can prevent further damage and set the stage for a healthier smile. We know that “tooth extraction” might sound intimidating, but our team is here to make sure your experience is both quick and comfortable.
You might need a tooth removed if you experience:
- Pain when chewing
- Overcrowding in your mouth
- Damage to surrounding teeth
- Tooth misalignment
- Severe decay or damage
We follow a simple, process focused on keeping you comfortable and informed at every stage:
1. First, we thoroughly numb the area.
2. Next, the dentist carefully loosens the tooth.
3. Finally, we gently remove it.
If you’re feeling nervous, just let us know. We offer sedation options to help you stay calm and anxiety-free. After the procedure, we ensure the area is cleaned and protected. We’ll also walk you through next steps, including potential tooth replacement options like implants or bridges.

Wisdom Teeth Removal
When wisdom teeth cause discomfort, crowd other teeth, or become impacted, removal may be the best option. Our experienced team handles both simple and surgical wisdom tooth extractions. Using modern techniques and imaging tools, we make the process efficient and less invasive to promote faster recovery.
Periodontal Surgery
If your gums require more than routine care, we offer thorough solutions. Periodontal surgery addresses advanced gum disease through deep cleaning, tissue reshaping, and – in some cases – gum grafting. We often use precision laser technology to reduce discomfort and speed healing, helping you regain a healthy gum line.
Dental Implants
Missing a tooth? Dental implants offer a durable and natural-looking replacement. The process involves placing a titanium post that mimics the root of your tooth. Once healed, we fit it with a custom crown that blends seamlessly with your smile. Implants not only restore appearance but also help preserve jawbone structure.
