Extractions & Oral Surgery

Many general dentists will refer their patients to an oral surgeon for tooth extractions and other oral surgeries. Dr. Rothenberger has over 38 years of experience and performs extractions in our Frankfort dental office. Our office features comfort amenities, as well as nitrous oxide to help you relax.

Reasons for tooth extraction may include:

  • Dead teeth
  • Severely decayed teeth
  • Broken teeth that cannot be repaired
  • Preparation for denture delivery
  • Teeth associated with advanced periodontal disease
  • Malpositioned or nonfunctional teeth (wisdom teeth)

Wisdom Teeth Extractions – A Wise Decision

Most adults will need to have their wisdom teeth extracted eventually. These “extra” teeth often don’t fit a modern jaw shape, and they can become impacted, abscessed, diseased, or cause damage to nearby teeth. We recommend wisdom teeth extractions between ages 18 and 24, though exceptions are often made. Extracting your wisdom teeth will prevent the potential for risks and complications in the future.

We’ll prepare you thoroughly for your oral surgery, explaining the details of the procedure so you’ll know what to expect.
