Improve Your Oral Health With Tooth Extractions & Bone Grafting
Dr. Koo is trained to perform several types of surgical procedures right here in our office. You won’t have to drive all over the area looking for another dentist. You can receive:
- Tooth Extractions – We’ll always try to save your natural tooth when possible, but a badly diseased or damaged tooth may require gentle removal to stop your pain and protect your other teeth.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal – Sometimes wisdom teeth are impacted, cause crowding, or come in crooked. When this happens, we can safely remove them to prevent damage to your other teeth and prevent future problems.
- Bone Grafts – Dr. Koo can perform a bone graft to prepare your jaw for dental implants. If your jaw is too soft or thin for implants, he can use a special material to stimulate new bone growth and restore your jawbone to its proper size and strength.
While Dr. Koo will numb your mouth with local anesthesia for your dental surgery, you may also want to receive safe and fast-acting laughing gas. Since it won’t leave you feeling groggy, you can drive yourself home following your treatment.
Don’t put off your oral surgery in Seattle any longer. Get back your healthy, beautiful smile! Call our office today at 206-922-4573 or schedule online.

Common Questions About Oral Surgery
It’s often difficult to thoroughly clean your teeth for a few days following a tooth extraction or similar surgery since you’ll need to avoid the extraction site when brushing and flossing. More bacteria than usual may accumulate during this time, which can cause bad breath. Your breath should freshen when you resume your normal oral hygiene routine. Let us know if bad breath lingers, as it can be a sign of a problem.
We numb your mouth with local anesthesia prior to oral surgery, so you shouldn’t feel any discomfort. You can also receive nitrous oxide sedation during your procedure. It will make you less conscious of sensations, including sights and sounds, and helps you remain relaxed throughout your treatment. We often recommend sedation for longer procedures, such as wisdom teeth removal.
For best results, we suggest consuming mostly bland, soft foods for a few days. Soup (not too hot), yogurt, smoothies, and eggs are all good choices. Avoid sucking through a straw, which can cause dry socket or other problems. Also avoid foods with seeds that can irritate your extraction site.
