Safe, Smooth Tooth Extractions

Nobody wants to hear they need a tooth pulled and at Rollstone Family Dental, we understand that. We only recommend extraction when it's genuinely the best path forward for your oral health, whether that's due to severe decay, advanced gum disease, a fractured tooth beyond repair, overcrowding, or impacted wisdom teeth. When extraction is the right call, our team performs the procedure with precision, gentleness, and a clear explanation of every step along the way.

We provide both routine extractions and wisdom teeth removal for patients across Fitchburg, Leominster, Lunenburg, Townsend, Ashburnham, and Ayer. Whether you're dealing with sudden tooth pain or have been told by another provider that your wisdom teeth need to come out, our team will walk you through your options, answer every question honestly, and make sure you feel fully informed before any procedure begins.

Wisdom Teeth Removal in Rollstone Family Dental

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. For many patients, there simply isn't enough room in the mouth for these teeth to grow in properly, which can lead to impaction, crowding, infection, and pain. In other cases, wisdom teeth grow in at an angle, pushing against neighboring teeth and causing damage over time.

At Rollstone Family Dental, we evaluate every patient's wisdom teeth individually using digital X-rays to determine their position, growth pattern, and whether removal is recommended. Not every patient needs their wisdom teeth removed but when extraction is the right call, our team handles the procedure with the same care and precision we bring to every extraction.

Signs you may need wisdom teeth removed:
  • Pain or tenderness in the back of the jaw
  • Swelling or redness around the gums near the back molars
  • Difficulty opening your mouth fully
  • Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
  • Recurring infections near the back of the mouth
  • Visible partial eruption of a wisdom tooth through the gum
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, don't wait. Impacted wisdom teeth that go untreated can lead to more significant infection, damage to neighboring teeth, and increased complexity if extraction becomes necessary later.

1

Consultation & Digital X-Rays

Before any extraction, we conduct a thorough exam and take digital X-rays to evaluate the position of the tooth, the surrounding bone, and any nearby nerves. This step is essential for planning a safe, precise procedure and it's especially important when assessing wisdom teeth, which often grow at angles or remain partially or fully impacted beneath the gumline.

2

Reviewing Your Options

We'll walk you through exactly why extraction is being recommended, what alternatives (if any) exist, and what to expect during recovery. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions and fully understand the procedure before agreeing to move forward. We never extract a tooth without making sure you're confident in the decision.

3

Local Anesthesia & Comfort Measures

Before beginning, we thoroughly numb the area around the tooth with local anesthesia so you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. We check in regularly to confirm you're not experiencing pain, and we never rush. Your comfort is just as important as the outcome.

4

The Extraction

For a simple extraction, the tooth is carefully loosened and removed using specialized instruments. For more complex cases, including impacted wisdom teeth, the procedure may involve a small incision and a more involved technique to access and remove the tooth safely. Our team's training and experience ensure the process is as efficient and atraumatic as possible.

5

Aftercare Instructions

Once the tooth is removed, we provide clear, detailed aftercare instructions, covering bleeding control, swelling management, diet recommendations, and signs that would warrant a follow-up call. We make sure you leave with everything you need to heal smoothly and comfortably.

6

Follow-Up & Recovery Check

Depending on the complexity of your extraction, we may schedule a follow-up visit to confirm your healing is on track. We're also always available by phone if you have questions or concerns during your recovery. We don't disappear after the procedure is done.

I can not say enough good about Dr. Mark and and staff. They are all wonderful caring people. I had to get a complete set of dentures I have extreme fear of dentist no matter what they are doing for me. Dr. Mark and staff was kind and so gentle and understanding. My journey of having all the work done is almost over. For a few years I have not wanted to smile .But now im looking forward to being able to with out shame. Please rather you are scared to death of dentist or just need dental work. Choose this office. You won't regret it.

I can’t say enough about this office! I have such a phobia with the dentist, and everyone here has been so friendly and gentle from the minute I walked in! They are flexible and got my appointment moved up, they are fairly priced, and just overall an amazing practice! Seriously can’t recommend Dr. Mark and team enough especially if you are a baby when it comes to dental work! Both Gabrielle and his other assistance were both great as well! Such a good experience compared to past ones I have had.

I had a great experience during my first visit to SmileCare Dental of Fitchbirg! From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and made me feel at ease. The office is clean and modern, and everything was explained to me clearly throughout the process. Gabriel (sp?) and Dr. Mark were very kind and patient I really appreciated the attention to detail and the care I received. Looking forward to continuing my dental care here—highly recommend!

Tanya was awesome. I am afraid of dentists and she made it a very comfortable visit. Also when I went in for the dental work ( I am petrified of dentists) it was amazing. Dr. Mark was kind and gentle, and Gabriel was so good he even helped me with my internet (So I could listen to music to take my mind off of the fillings).
I would highly recommend this office.
Thank you

Great top notch service, Dr. Mark is very friendly and makes you feel at home. Tori did a great job with the cleaning! Very delicate yet very efficient. Have gone to this location for quite a while and I will continue to go here. Also all other staff especially the girl at the front desk (sorry I forgot the name) are excellent and very welcoming. Keep up the good work!
