We may recommend oral surgery when teeth are severely damaged or causing pain. Treatments like wisdom teeth removal and tooth extraction help relieve discomfort and protect the health of your teeth, gums, and bone.
While we always explore conservative treatments first, some dental problems require oral surgery to fully restore your oral health. Procedures such as tooth extraction and wisdom teeth removal in Rexburg can help relieve pain, prevent infection, and protect surrounding teeth.
Dr. Michael Larsen and Dr. Sky Sessions at Apple Tree Dental in Rexburg have advanced training and extensive experience performing oral surgery procedures. Their expertise allows patients to feel confident and comfortable throughout treatment.
At Apple Tree Dental, we use modern dental technology to ensure accurate diagnoses and efficient care. For added comfort, many patients receiving oral surgery, including wisdom teeth removal, can receive sedation to minimize pain and anxiety during the procedure.

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Because most mouths don’t have enough space for them, these teeth often become impacted, grow in at an angle, or crowd nearby teeth. For these reasons, wisdom teeth removal is commonly recommended to prevent pain, infection, and alignment problems.
The wisdom teeth removal procedure typically takes about 45 minutes. To keep patients comfortable, we offer local anesthesia, laughing gas, and IV sedation. With these helps, many patients sleep through the procedure.
Beyond wisdom teeth removal, there are several reasons a patient may need a tooth extraction. Severe tooth decay, infection, trauma, or overcrowding can make removing a tooth the best option for protecting your overall oral health.
If you’re feeling nervous about oral surgery or wisdom teeth removal, our friendly team and experienced dentists prioritize patient comfort. We offer sedation and pain management options to help you feel relaxed during your procedure.
