Is a compromised tooth causing you pain and discomfort?

When Does a Tooth Need to Be Removed?
Our dentists will always try to save a natural tooth whenever possible. However, sometimes an extraction is the best solution for a severely compromised tooth. To improve your oral health, the dentist may recommend tooth extraction if you have:
A Severely Damaged Tooth
Our dentistry practice offers several solutions to address damage while preserving your natural tooth. However, a severely damaged tooth may need to be extracted to preserve your dental health.
A Severely Decayed Tooth
If fillings or a root canal are not able to address the severe decay of your tooth, an extraction can stop decay from spreading to surrounding healthy teeth and gums.
Overcrowding
If a patient's jaw is too small to accommodate all of their adult teeth, our dentists may recommend an extraction to provide enough space for your smile.
Remaining Baby Teeth
While most baby teeth fall out by early adolescence, some patients have one or two baby teeth that do not fall out naturally and get in the way of their adult teeth erupting. A simple extraction can be done to remove these teeth.
Wisdom Teeth
Early extraction of wisdom teeth is recommended to avoid dental problems that can arise later on. Our dentists can remove impacted wisdom teeth that have or haven't erupted fully from the gums.

"Great experience here!" 5-Star Reviews From Our Tampa-Area Patients

Great experience here! I was able to call on a Tuesday and get in the same week for a consult plus 4 wisdom teeth removals all in one visit. Prices were reasonable as well. Dr. Doroshenko did my procedure and was exceptionally kind and informative, taking the time to explain/answer any questions without rushing me or pressuring me into a decision. Highly recommend going here.

Absolutely wonderful experience from the day of consultation to the day of surgery. What a wonderful team Dr. Edwards works with. Our teenage son felt he was in good and safe hands and is recovering very well. Thank you so much! Highly recommend this office especially for wisdom teeth removal!
View on GoogleNervous About Your Tooth Extraction? Sedation Can Keep You Comfortable
Removing a tooth is a relatively simple dental service, especially when performed by a trained oral surgeon like Jason Edwards or Thomas Backeris. An extraction can usually be performed with only local anesthesia, but we realize this may not feel sufficient if you have dental anxiety or an especially sensitive smile.
Advanced Oral Surgery of Tampa offers a number of sedation options that can relieve your fears and ensure your comfort. Under nitrous oxide, oral conscious, or IV sedation, you will enter a deep state of relaxation or near-sleep that helps treatment fly by comfortably and effectively.
Step-by-Step Process of Tooth Extraction
"Our Tampa-area dentists offer both sedation dentistry and general anesthesia, helping ensure your comfort throughout your dental procedure."
Replace the Gap With Dental Implants
Dental implants can help restore your smile, but that's not their only benefit. Because they act as artificial tooth roots, dental implants are the only way to prevent jaw atrophy after tooth extraction. Dental implants can also prevent misalignment in your smile, as they prevent your remaining teeth from shifting into the empty space.
Our Dental Implant Options
After tooth extraction, dental implants are an excellent restorative approach to complete your smile. We offer several implant dentistry options for every need:
Full Arch Implants
Full Arch Implants are an excellent option for replacing a complete arch of teeth when you don't qualify for dental implants due to weak bone mass but want the stability that an implant affords. The method uses just four strategically-placed implants to stabilize an entire arch of teeth.
Same-Day Dental Implants
We offer same-day dental implants that allow you to leave our office with a full smile on the same day as implant placement surgery. Depending on the client and dentist's suggestion, you may be able to have an implant placed the same day as your tooth extraction.
Implant-Supported Restoration Options
Depending on if you have a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth, the restoration you'll need will vary. We offer crowns, dental bridges, and dentures to create a uniform smile and a functional bite, whether you're missing just one tooth or an entire arch.

Dr. Backeris (a.k.a. “Dr. Tom”) and his staff–especially his surgical assistant–are extraordinary! From start to finish they were extremely friendly and professional. Dr. Tom explained everything that he was going to do and has a very gentle touch. I never thought I would say this about going to see an oral surgeon, but the total experience was a pleasure! I would not see anyone else. Thank you Dr. Tom and staff!

This place was great. They ever able to fit me in quick and easy check in. Every single person was great, easygoing and made me feel so relaxed. The oral surgeon was great and the assistants were fantastic. For something that supposed to be a horrible experience, they made it as pleasant as possible. Great convo and good music. If you have to have your surgery, might as well have it here. I wish I could give them more stars.

Super impressed with Advanced Oral Surgery. I shutter at any dental work and when it comes to any oral surgery that fear is amplified. I decided to use Advanced Oral Surgery by recommendation from Dentist Deliz who is also an amazing Dentist. I had to have a tooth pulled and I have had three root canals prior to this visit. This experience was by far the best I have ever had. Dr. Jason Edwards is incredible. He is who I will only see from now on for any oral surgery.
