Tooth Extractions
You and Dr. Guorgui may determine that you need a tooth extraction for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
The removal of a single tooth can lead to problems related to your chewing ability, problems with your jaw joint, and shifting teeth, which can have a major impact on your dental health.
To avoid these complications, in most cases, Dr. Guorgui will discuss alternatives to extractions as well as replacement of the extracted tooth.
The Tooth Extraction Process
At the time of extraction the doctor will need to numb your tooth, jaw bone and gums that surround the area with a local anesthetic.
During the extraction process you will feel a lot of pressure. This is from the process of firmly rocking the tooth in order to widen the socket for removal.
You feel the pressure without pain as the anesthetic has numbed the nerves stopping the transference of pain, yet the nerves that transmit pressure are not profoundly affected.
If you do feel pain at any time during the extraction please let us know right away.
Sectioning a Tooth
Some teeth require sectioning. This is a very common procedure done when a tooth is so firmly anchored in its socket or the root is curved and the socket can’t expand enough to remove it. The doctor simply cuts the tooth into sections then removes each section one at a time.
After Tooth Extraction

Dr. Guorgui Surgical and Sedation Dentistry offers exceptional surgery and patient care. Staff were engaged prior, during and following the procedure. The care I received throughout this process was incredible. Every question or concern I had was addressed. Staff answered calls and emails with excellent response time. I was not left with any uncertainty, not for one moment. I cannot thank everyone enough for the kindness they demonstrated. This simple act made me feel less nervous and more confident that I would receive the utmost care during my surgery.

I was really nervous before my procedure. They didn't know this but from when I got into the room they made me feel comfortable without knowing how I really felt. They talked to me, they made me laugh and explained questions I had very simply.

I am a very anxious dental patient which is why for things other than fillings and cleanings, I need to be sedated. This is the first time I did "conscious sedation". Normally I am put right out (or what feels like I am completely asleep). I did not know that I would be "awake" and was quite nervous about experiencing the procedure in a conscious state. Wow!! Was I wrong! Dr. Guorgui assured me that it would be a pleasant experience even though I would be awake. He was right!! I was so relaxed and comfortable...there was no pain...I really don't even remember the actual extraction although I know I was awake. The whole experience was wonderful and trust me, "wonderful" would never be a word I would use for any dental procedure. Nurse Maria was fabulous...friendly and informative...even called me at home later that day to make sure I was feeling well. Because of this experience, if I need to be sedated again for some dental work, I can assure you I will be using Dr. Guorgui and his team.

The removal of my wisdom tooth was seamless/smooth with no issues from start to finish. From Dr.Bhadwar's staff regarding scheduling, including reminders, to Dr.Guorgui's staff being efficient and knowledgeable with their tasks, to the extraction by Dr.Guorgi. I was informed that there would be a follow up call by the nurse and she called right on time.
