Oral Surgery

Not always. Wisdom teeth that come in straight, with enough room and easy to keep clean, may not require removal. However, if they're impacted, crowded, partially erupted, or causing pain or infection, removal is usually recommended to prevent long-term problems. Dr. Farahani evaluates each case with 3D imaging and a thorough exam before recommending extraction — the goal is always your long-term oral health, not unnecessary treatment.

No. Wisdom tooth removal is performed under local anesthesia, so you'll feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. We also offer sedation options for patients who feel anxious or are having multiple teeth removed in one visit. Most patients report mild soreness for 2-3 days afterward, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Dr. Farahani and the team prioritize your comfort from start to finish.

Most patients feel significantly better within 3-5 days, with full recovery in about two weeks. Initial swelling peaks around day 2-3 and gradually subsides. We provide clear post-operative instructions, recommend a soft-food diet for the first few days, and check in during recovery. Plan for a quiet day or two after the procedure — most patients are back to light activities by day three.

Bone grafting rebuilds bone density in the jaw, most often before placing a dental implant. When a tooth has been missing for a while, the surrounding bone can recede — without enough bone, an implant cannot be securely anchored. A small graft of bone material is placed to stimulate regeneration. The graft typically heals over 3-6 months, after which the implant can be placed. Dr. Farahani plans bone grafting and implants together for the smoothest possible treatment path.

Yes. Dallas Dentique offers sedation dentistry options for patients who feel anxious about surgery or are undergoing multiple procedures in one visit. Sedation lets you remain comfortable and relaxed throughout treatment. We carefully review your medical history and discuss the right option for your needs before any procedure begins. Patient comfort is a priority at every step.

A simple extraction is performed on a tooth that is fully erupted above the gum line — Dr. Farahani gently loosens and lifts the tooth out. A surgical extraction is needed when a tooth is impacted, broken at the gum line, or otherwise not easily accessible — a small incision is made in the gum (and sometimes the bone) so the tooth can be removed in sections. Both procedures are performed under local anesthesia, with sedation available if needed.
