Oral Surgery in Austin, TX
Benefits of Having Oral Surgery
- Corrective Measures: Oral surgery can correct a wide range of dental issues, including impacted teeth, jaw irregularities, and dental trauma.
- Better Oral Health: Oral surgery can improve your overall oral health by preventing further complications like the development of cysts or tumors in your mouth.
- Improved Confidence: Oral surgery can enhance the appearance of your teeth and smile, which can boost your self-esteem and make you feel more confident.
- Efficient Tooth Replacement: If you're missing one or multiple teeth, then oral surgery can help with effective tooth replacement options like dental implants.
- Pain Relief: In some cases, oral surgery is necessary to relieve chronic pain caused by untreated or severe dental conditions like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder.
Wisdom Teeth & Extractions
While our primary goal is to keep your natural teeth healthy – and in your mouth – for as long as possible, there are many circumstances in which an extraction may be in your best interest. At Hedgecock Dental, extractions are a fairly routine procedure.
You may need an extraction if you have a tooth that is:
- Impacted or at an angle where it is stuck or unable to erupt
- Badly broken or decayed
- Infected or causing pain
- Causing teeth to be too crowded
- Affecting your bite
- Unable to support itself due to periodontal disease

We will develop a custom treatment plan to get your oral health back on track, and answer any and all of your questions along the way.

We will discuss anesthesia options, although most surgical procedures are performed under oral or IV sedation to ensure the most comfortable experience for the patient. We will give you detailed pre and post-op instructions to follow to ensure the fastest healing and recovery.
