Tooth Extractions Will Go Well With Technology & Sedation

Dr. Barfield can extract most teeth, including wisdom teeth. He uses technology like our digital X-rays and intraoral camera to plan your procedure. If these tools reveal potential problems that can be better handled by another doctor, we’ll help you arrange treatment with a top specialist right in our office.

Unlike many dentists, we offer three kinds of sedation, since we want you to be able to feel the right level of relaxation during your surgical procedure. You can choose from:

• Inhaled Sedation – There is no added charge for this kind of sedation, also called laughing gas. It works well for many procedures.
• Oral Sedation – For more fearful patients or longer procedures, we may suggest an oral sedative. You’ll take a prescription pill that will keep you relaxed throughout your treatment.
• IV Sedation – Administered intravenously, this is our strongest level of sedation.

Procedures Prepare You for Successful Implant Placement

Given Dr. Barfield’s expertise in dental implants, it’s no surprise we offer oral surgery procedures that help you for successful placement of dental implants, including:

• Bone Grafts – This procedure adds needed strength to your jaw so it can better support implants.
• Gum Grafts – Without healthy gums, you won’t be able to get implants. A graft will return receding or damaged gums to health.
• Sinus Lifts – We can create more room in your upper jaw for implants with this procedure.
