When a tooth needs more than a filling — or needs to come out entirely — our team at Signature Smiles of St. Pete is here to help. We provide a full range of oral surgery services in St. Petersburg, FL, including simple, surgical, and emergency extractions, as well as wisdom tooth removal. Our experienced team uses advanced techniques to make every procedure as comfortable and efficient as possible, so you can focus on healing and getting back to your life.
Oral surgery refers to any procedure that goes beyond routine dental care and involves treating the teeth, gums, jaw, or surrounding structures through surgical means. At Signature Smiles of St. Pete, we focus on tooth extractions across the full spectrum — from straightforward single-tooth removals to more complex surgical cases.
A simple extraction is performed when a tooth is visible above the gum line and can be removed without incisions. After numbing the area, our team gently loosens and removes the tooth. Simple extractions are typically quick and well-tolerated, with a smooth recovery.
Some teeth require a more involved approach — this includes teeth that are broken at the gum line, have curved roots, or are otherwise difficult to access. During a surgical extraction, our team makes a small incision to safely remove the tooth. We walk every patient through what to expect beforehand, and sedation options are available to keep you comfortable throughout.
Dental emergencies don’t follow a schedule. If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, a broken or abscessed tooth, or another urgent situation that requires immediate extraction, our team is equipped to see you promptly and provide the relief you need.
Wisdom teeth — your third molars — typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties. Because most patients don’t have adequate space for them, wisdom teeth often become impacted, meaning they grow at an angle or become trapped beneath the gum line.
Our team performs surgical wisdom tooth extractions with care and precision, minimizing discomfort and supporting a smooth recovery. Whether one or all four wisdom teeth need to come out, we’ll create a treatment plan that addresses your specific situation.
Oral surgery may be the recommended path if you are experiencing any of the following:
If you’re unsure whether extraction is the right next step, we’ll always explore alternatives first and make sure you have a complete picture before moving forward.
