Oral Surgery in Arlington, TX
Surgical extractions, complex tooth removal, and minor oral surgical procedures - done in-office with comfort, precision, and clear communication. Surgical extractions $249, simple $149.
When extraction is the right call.
Sometimes a tooth can't be saved - severe decay, fracture below the gum line, advanced gum disease, or impaction. We handle straightforward and surgical extractions in-office with sedation options for comfort.
Simple extractions remove visible, intact teeth quickly with local anesthetic. Surgical extractions handle broken, impacted, or root-fragmented teeth and may involve a small incision and gentle bone removal. Both are routine for our team.

Oral Surgery FAQs
Do you do oral surgery in-office or do you refer out?
We perform most oral surgery in-office. Complex cases (impacted wisdom teeth requiring full bone removal, jaw surgery, etc.) get referred to a specialist.
How long is recovery?
Simple extraction: 2–3 days. Surgical: 5–7 days. Implants: 1–2 weeks of comfort, but 3–6 months of bone integration.
Will I need someone to drive me home?
For local anesthesia only, no. For oral sedation or IV sedation, yes — you must have a driver.

Oral Surgery questions, answered.
Tap a question to expand the answer.
What's the difference between a simple and a surgical extraction?
A simple extraction removes a tooth that's fully visible and intact - straightforward, quick. A surgical extraction handles teeth that are broken below the gum line, impacted, or have unusual root anatomy - usually involves a small incision and is more time-intensive.
Will it hurt?
During the procedure: no - local anesthetic numbs the area completely. After: typical post-op soreness for 3-7 days, managed with pain relievers and ice. We send you home with detailed care instructions.
How long is recovery?
Soft tissue healing is mostly complete in 1-2 weeks. Full bone healing takes 3-4 months but doesn't affect daily life. Most patients return to work the next day for simple extractions; 2-3 days off for surgical extractions.
Should I replace the extracted tooth?
For most teeth, yes - leaving a gap allows neighboring teeth to drift and the bone to shrink. Options include implants ($2,498 package), bridges, and partial dentures. We'll discuss timing at your post-op visit.
When should I be worried about complications?
Significant pain after day 3 (could be dry socket), bleeding that doesn't stop after 24 hours, or fever >101°F warrant a callback. We give you a direct phone number for post-op concerns.
