HOW WE CAN HELP

Our Oral Surgery Services

Simple Tooth Extractions

For teeth that are too decayed, damaged, or loose to save, we perform gentle, in-office extractions using local anesthesia.

Surgical Tooth Extractions

When a tooth hasn't fully emerged, is broken below the gumline, or has curved or fused roots, a surgical extraction, a small incision to access the tooth, may be needed. We handle these in-house.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth that come in sideways, partially emerge, or crowd neighboring teeth can cause pain, swelling, and infection. We evaluate and remove impacted wisdom teeth before they cause bigger problems.

Bone Grafting

After an extraction or bone loss, grafting helps preserve your jaw's structure, especially important if you're planning to get a dental implant.

Pre-Prosthetic Surgery

We reshape and prepare the jaw and gum tissue so dentures or other restorations fit comfortably and securely.

Dental Implant Coordination

For patients who need a full implant, we coordinate care with trusted specialist partners so your treatment plan is seamless from extraction to final restoration.

Just wanted to do a shout out to Dual Arc Dental! I stuck with them after the previous owners sold through and happy I did. They have proven they are caring and understanding whether my needs have been small or very patient with me not only during my visits but with any queries in regards to the insurance.

KNOW THE SIGNS

When Might You Need Oral Surgery?

Common reasons patients need a tooth extraction or oral surgery include:

Severe Tooth Decay

When too little healthy tooth remains to support a filling or crown.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Teeth that are trapped under the gum or bone and can't erupt normally.

Advanced Gum Disease

When bone loss around a tooth can no longer support it.

Tooth or Jaw Trauma

A cracked, fractured, or knocked-loose tooth from an injury.

Infection or Abscess

When infection has spread beyond what a root canal can resolve.

Orthodontic Crowding

Removing a tooth to create space for alignment treatment.

Not sure which applies to you? A quick consultation and X-ray is the fastest way to find out, and in many cases, we can treat you the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore our quick guide about teeth whitening treatments, safety guidelines, and cost questions.

With modern local anesthesia, the extraction itself shouldn't hurt, you may feel some pressure. Mild soreness afterward is normal and typically managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

A simple extraction removes a tooth that's fully visible above the gumline. A surgical extraction is needed when a tooth is impacted, broken at the gumline, or has roots that make it harder to remove, this may involve a small incision. Our doctors will let you know which applies to you after an exam.

No. For most extractions, including many wisdom teeth cases, Dr. Patel and Dr. Mehta can treat you directly in our Schertz office, no outside referral needed.

Costs vary depending on whether it's a simple or surgical extraction, and whether sedation is needed. We accept most PPO insurance plans and offer CareCredit, Cherry Financing, and our in-office Dual Arc Smiles membership plan for patients without insurance. We're happy to give you a clear cost estimate at your consultation, before any treatment begins.

If you choose sedation beyond local anesthesia, yes, you'll need a ride home. If you only receive local anesthesia, you can typically drive yourself.

Stick to soft foods and liquids for the first 24 hours, think yogurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies, and avoid using a straw, which can disturb healing.

Simple extractions typically heal within a few days. Surgical extractions, including wisdom teeth removal, may take up to a week or more. We'll give you personalized aftercare instructions based on your procedure.

Yes. We offer same-day emergency appointments for painful, broken, or infected teeth that may require an urgent extraction.
