When you’re in pain, it can be hard to focus on anything else. At Rod Eccles, DDS, our mission is to restore your comfort quickly and compassionately. We provide expert oral surgery to eliminate tooth-related problems while protecting the health of your entire smile.

Our team takes time to walk you through every step, from your initial consultation to post-treatment follow-ups. We explain what’s happening, answer your questions, and ensure you always feel supported—not rushed or left in the dark.

Here are some common reasons patients may need surgical extractions:

• Severe Tooth Decay – Sometimes a tooth is too damaged to save. Removing it prevents further infection and gives you lasting relief.
• Advanced Periodontal Disease – Gum disease can loosen teeth and threaten your bone health. Extraction helps your mouth heal and prepares it for future restoration.
• Wisdom Teeth Issues – Wisdom teeth often cause crowding, swelling, or jaw pain. Removing them protects your nearby teeth and prevents long-term issues.
• Teeth Broken Below the Gumline – In cases of deep fractures or trauma, extraction is often the best way to prevent infection or further damage.
• Orthodontic Planning – Removing select teeth can create the space needed for successful orthodontic treatment.

Comfort is our priority throughout the entire process. We offer sedation options to calm your nerves and make your visit stress-free. After surgery, you’ll receive detailed instructions and ongoing support to help you recover with confidence. We’re always just a phone call away if anything feels off.

Many patients tell us they wish they’d done it sooner. When your pain is gone and healing begins, you’ll finally be able to eat, sleep, and smile without worry.
