Oral Surgery Services We Provide in Woburn

Our practice offers a full range of oral surgery procedures, from straightforward extractions to more complex surgical removals. As a general dentist with advanced training, Dr. Austria performs these services in our modern Woburn office so you do not need a separate referral to a specialist.

Simple & Surgical Tooth Extractions

A simple extraction is performed on a tooth that is visible above the gum line. After numbing the area, we gently loosen and remove the tooth. A surgical extraction may be needed for a tooth that is broken off or not fully erupted. Dr. Austria uses precise techniques to minimize discomfort and protect the surrounding tissue. If you are dealing with a damaged or infected tooth that cannot be saved with a root canal treatment, an extraction can relieve pain and protect your overall health.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth often need to be removed to prevent crowding, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. Dr. Austria evaluates each case with digital X-rays and 3D imaging to plan a safe, efficient removal. Whether your wisdom teeth are impacted or fully erupted, we provide care designed for a smooth recovery.

Same-Day Tooth Extractions

If you have a toothache or a dental emergency, we offer same-day tooth extractions in Woburn. Many patients who call with pain are seen the same day and go home feeling much better. Our emergency dentistry services are built around your comfort and schedule.

Why Choose Radiant Dentistry for Oral Surgery?

Advanced Training, Gentle Hands

Dr. Austria is one of the few general dentists in the area with both a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) and an Associate Fellowship in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AFAAID). His advanced training at the Kois Center means he approaches every extraction with a deep understanding of how it affects your long-term oral health. Yet his patients consistently say his light touch and patient manner are what set him apart.

Modern Technology for Precise, Comfortable Extractions

We use digital X-rays, a cone-beam CT (CBCT) scanner, and intraoral cameras to see your teeth and bone structure in three dimensions. This technology helps Dr. Austria plan extractions with accuracy, reducing surprises and shortening procedure time. For complex cases, the CBCT also helps us evaluate bone density for future dental implants.

What to Expect During Your Extraction Appointment

Before Your Procedure

Your visit begins with a thorough exam and a conversation about your symptoms and medical history. Dr. Austria will show you your X-rays, explain why the extraction is recommended, and discuss your options. We confirm that anesthesia is right for you and answer every question before starting.

During the Extraction

The area is numbed with local anesthetic. For simple extractions, the tooth is loosened and removed gently. For surgical extractions, a small incision may be made to access the tooth. You will feel pressure but not pain. If you are anxious, we offer comfort measures such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral sedation.

Aftercare & Recovery

After the extraction, we place gauze over the socket and give you clear instructions for the first 24 hours. Most people experience mild swelling and soreness that resolves within a few days. We will schedule a follow-up to check healing and discuss any replacement options, such as a dental implant or bridge. Detailed aftercare information is also available in our patient information section.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Extraction in Woburn

Answers to your most common questions.

Is a tooth extraction painful?
We use local anesthesia to numb the area completely before any extraction begins. Most patients feel pressure but no sharp pain. If you are anxious, we offer sedation options to help you stay relaxed. Our team is trained to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
How long does recovery take after a wisdom tooth removal?
Healing usually takes a few days to a week for most swelling and soreness to fade. We give you specific aftercare instructions, including tips on diet and oral hygiene, to speed recovery. Full bone healing takes a few months, but you can return to normal activities within a few days.
Can I get a tooth extracted the same day?
Yes, we offer same-day tooth extractions for most cases. If you are in pain or need an urgent removal, call us in the morning and we will work to see you that day. We keep appointment slots open for emergency same-day care.
What happens to the space left by an extracted tooth?
Over time the gap can cause neighboring teeth to shift. To prevent that, many patients choose a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture to replace the missing tooth. During your consultation we will discuss the best option for your smile and budget.
Does dental insurance cover oral surgery?
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of tooth extractions and wisdom tooth removal, especially when the procedure is medically necessary. We accept Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Altus. Our team will help you understand your benefits before treatment. If you need a tooth extraction in Woburn, MA, or have questions about wisdom tooth removal, we are here to help. Gentle, same-day care is available when you need it most.
