A 3D CT Scan offers a more precise view of the root area of the tooth to be extracted than traditional x-rays.
Looking For The Best Oral Surgeon in St Louis?
If so, Dr. Shea Wilson is one of the top oral surgeons in the St. Louis area. Tooth extractions, including wisdom teeth, and preparation for dental implants are the most common oral surgical procedures performed in our office. We provide a relaxed environment with caring staff and state-of-the-art facilities. In addition to our services, we also have access to advanced technology which allows us to perform more complex procedures with precision and accuracy not possible before.
In the case of decay or a broken tooth, we prefer to save the natural tooth. When that clearly is not the best option, extraction of the tooth can be done and tooth replacement options can then be presented.
Extractions may be performed for a wide variety of reasons, including:
- When decay or breakage has destroyed enough tooth structure to prevent restoration; and
- When removal of a tooth is necessary to make space for orthodontic treatment.
Our St. Louis Office offers same day dental implants to bridges and crowns. Whatever oral surgery you need done we got you covered!
Taking the Fear Out of Oral Surgery
Over his forty years of practice, Doc has relentlessly sought techniques for reducing an even eliminating discomfort, trauma and pain for dental patients. It’s commonplace for our our patients to exclaim how surprised they are at the overall comfort of their experience.
In other words, if you’re afraid of needles or sensation of a shot, you’ll probably be surprised at how quickly and effortlessly the procedure is.
Here’s what our St. Louis Oral Surgery patients say about their procedure;
“You will look forward to the friendly and fun entire staff and doc when you come here for your dentistry work. I for one am afraid of shots, but I hardly felt the one I got today which is a big plus for me and there was no pain during the dentistry work done. Thanks everyone for your dedication and kindness.”
— Rita H.“Before seeing Artistic Dentistry having a tooth pulled was a horrible experience. But Artistic Dentistry was great. He talked to me and made me very comfortable. I have never had a good experience at the dentist until now. He was great!!!”
— LaTrisa J.S.
“Joey was very afraid of needles and dental equipment. On his first visit, he was able to go by himself with the Doctor and assistant and receive injections and have a tooth pulled without me. I was so pleased. Things only improved from that point. We’ve had several appointments with both Joey and Jonathan and with each appointment they both improve.”
— Elizabeth P. (Mother of Joey)
“After having 2 wisdom teeth pulled in one sitting, I’m a happy camper. They were fast and efficient removing the two perpetrators. Afterward there was minimal discomfort in the affected areas, little swelling and complications that could only be attributed to the work done by a skilled professional. Thank you!”
