Surgical Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Teeth Removal on the Big Island

While no one looks forward to a tooth extraction, having the procedure done by a skilled surgical specialist can make all the difference. At our practice in Kailua-Kona, Dr. Sasan Garakani, a board-certified periodontist, provides an exceptional level of care for patients who need more than a simple extraction. We are the trusted referral for difficult tooth extractions in Hawaii, ensuring your procedure is as safe, comfortable, and efficient as possible.

Why Were You Referred to a Periodontist for an Extraction?

If your dentist referred you to our practice, it is because your situation requires specialized surgical skill. General dentists can perform simple extractions, but a periodontist has years of advanced training in complex surgery involving the jawbone and soft tissues.

You may need a periodontist for extractions in Kona if your tooth is:

• Severely broken or decayed below the gum line.

• Impacted, or trapped in the jawbone and unable to erupt properly.

• Cracked or fractured in a way that makes simple removal impossible.

• Ankylosed, meaning it has fused to the jawbone.

Dr. Garakani’s expertise in these complex cases ensures a smoother procedure with fewer complications and better long-term outcomes.

Our Specialized Extraction Services

Expert Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth (third molars) are the most common teeth to require surgical removal. Due to a lack of space, they often grow in at an angle or become impacted, leading to pain, infection, and damage to neighboring teeth. As a wisdom tooth specialist on the Big Island, Dr. Garakani is an expert in managing even the most deeply impacted wisdom teeth in Kona, providing a safe and predictable experience.

Complex & Surgical Extractions

Our surgical expertise extends to a wide range of complex situations, including:

• Extraction of teeth broken at the gum line

• Surgical removal of cracked or fractured molars

• Removal of impacted canines for orthodontic purposes

• Extractions for failed root canals

• Strategic extractions to prepare for dental implants

Preserving Your Future Smile: Extraction with Bone Grafting

After a tooth is removed, the jawbone in that area naturally begins to shrink. To prevent this, we often recommend a surgical extraction with a bone graft. This simple, simultaneous procedure involves placing a grafting material into the empty socket. It acts as a scaffold, preserving the bone’s height and width, which is essential if you plan to replace the tooth with a dental implant in the future.

Your Comfort is Our Priority: Sedation & Painless Procedures

We understand that the thought of a surgical extraction can cause anxiety. Our goal is to provide painless wisdom teeth removal and a stress-free experience for all our patients. We use effective local anesthesia to completely numb the area and can offer sedation for surgical tooth extraction to help you feel deeply relaxed and comfortable throughout your visit.
