Trust Our Team for a Virtually Pain-Free Tooth Removal in Jacksonville

Our dentists make every effort to preserve and maintain your natural teeth.

But there are times that a tooth extraction is necessary.

We only recommend extractions when needed to avoid serious oral health issues.

Some of the Common Reasons Include:

Tooth decayed or damaged beyond repair
A crowded mouth that needs more space for orthodontic treatment, such as SimplyClear^® clear aligners
Impacted teeth unable to erupt
Baby teeth that refuse to fall out and block the permanent teeth
Wisdom teeth that lack space in the bite or inability to erupt

If pulling a tooth is the best solution for your oral health, rest assured that we can make the procedure comfortable.

Our Tooth Extraction Procedure

The tooth extraction type, simple or surgical, depends on the tooth’s shape, size, position, and location in the mouth.

Our tooth extraction process: First, dental X-rays of the tooth are taken to ensure its condition and position.

Say Goodbye to Dental Anxiety with Sedation Solutions for You

Experience anxiety-free treatment with our range of sedation services tailored to your comfort!

At Blue Wave Dental, we understand dental anxiety is real. That's why we offer multiple sedation options to ensure your experience is comfortable and stress-free. Our experienced team is trained in the latest techniques to provide quality care while addressing your comfort concerns. Here are the three comforting options:

Experience complete relaxation with our conscious IV sedation. This safe, controlled method delivers sedative medication directly into your bloodstream, creating a deep state of relaxation while you remain conscious enough to respond to your dentist. Ideal for patients with severe anxiety or those undergoing complex procedures, IV sedation helps make dental visits stress-free. Available on some procedures, this option ensures comfort while maintaining the highest safety standards. Learn more about IV sedation options.

Also known as "laughing gas," nitrous oxide provides gentle relaxation during your dental treatment, and is especially great for children. This mild sedative is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose. The effects wear off quickly after treatment, allowing you to drive yourself home and resume normal activities immediately after your appointment. Available on some procedures, nitrous oxide is perfect for patients with mild to moderate anxiety. Learn more about nitrous oxide sedation.

For patients who prefer a pill form of sedation, oral sedation offers a simple solution to dental anxiety. Take a prescribed medication before your appointment to feel calm and relaxed throughout your visit. While you'll remain awake and able to respond, many patients remember little of their treatment afterward. Available on some procedures, oral sedation provides a moderate level of sedation without the need for needles. Learn more about oral sedation options.
