Impacted Teeth in Gadsden and Albertville, AL

Teeth typically emerge during childhood, but in some cases, they become impacted — unable to fully erupt from the gums and stuck in the jaw. This can lead to a range of issues, including pain, swelling, and even infections. Impacted teeth can occur for several reasons, such as overcrowding or misalignment, and if left untreated, can cause more serious oral health problems. If you're dealing with pain or other signs of impacted teeth, it's important to seek treatment early. At Oral Surgery Associates Gadsden, we specialize in diagnosing and treating impacted teeth for patients in Gadsden and Albertville, AL. Dr. Cecil Dorsett and Dr. Frank E. Orr are experienced in performing safe and effective treatments to relieve discomfort and prevent further complications. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and get the care you need.

The procedure begins with a thorough consultation at our offices in Gadsden or Albertville, AL, where we'll take detailed images of your teeth and jaw using advanced 3D dental imaging technology. This comprehensive approach allows Dr. Dorsett and Dr. Orr to precisely plan your surgery for your unique needs. Impacted teeth removal surgery is generally done with local anesthesia along with nitrous oxide or general anesthesia to keep you comfortable and relaxed. Once you're ready, your surgeon will make an incision in the gum tissue to access the impacted tooth. If necessary, they will gently extract any surrounding bone to provide better access to the impacted tooth. The tooth may be divided into smaller pieces for easier extraction. After the tooth is removed, the incision will be closed with stitches, and a gauze pad will be placed to control bleeding.

Impacted teeth removal surgery provides significant relief by addressing pain, preventing complications, and improving long-term oral health. This procedure restores proper dental function and helps prevent future issues, offering a wide range of benefits, including:

  • Relieves pain and discomfort caused by impacted teeth
  • Prevents further oral health complications, such as infections or misalignment
  • Reduces the risk of damage to adjacent teeth and surrounding tissue
  • Helps restore proper function and alignment of teeth
  • Minimizes the potential for cysts or tumors that may form around impacted teeth

The staff and doctor got me in quickly, and they took great care of me. I had to have a tooth pulled immediately, and they were kind, helpful, and completed my procedure without pain. The assistant was extra kind, as I was scared, and made me feel comforted and safe the whole time.
