TOOTH EXTRACTIONS IN SYOSSET, NY

We always aim to save your natural teeth whenever possible, but sometimes removal is the healthiest choice. You may need an extraction if you have:

• Severe tooth decay or damage
• A badly infected or abscessed tooth
• Advanced periodontal (gum) disease
• A cracked or broken tooth beyond repair
• Impacted wisdom teeth
• Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
• A non-functional or problematic baby tooth

Simple Extractions

Performed on fully erupted teeth that need to be removed due to decay, damage, or disease. Dr. Mozner does these in-house at Creative Dental of Syosset.

Surgical Extractions

Used for broken teeth or teeth that have not fully erupted, including many impacted wisdom teeth. Dr. Mozner performs most surgical extractions himself, using the Vatech 3D cone-beam scan to see the tooth, roots, nerve, and sinus before he begins.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Dr. Mozner removes impacted or problematic third molars before they cause pain, infection, or crowding. For the most difficult cases, he may coordinate with an oral surgeon so you get the safest care for your situation.

We understand that extractions can be intimidating, so your comfort comes first at every step. Here is how we keep the visit easy:

• Local anesthesia that fully numbs the area, so you feel pressure but not pain
• Nitrous oxide sedation for anxious patients, plus injection techniques designed to make the numbing itself less noticeable
• Noise-canceling headphones and Netflix during the procedure
• Written post-op instructions for fast, smooth healing, and follow-up appointments to check your recovery
• Replacement options like a dental implant or bridge, planned in the same office

First time here and it was a great experience! Barely any wait time! The office was clean and organized. The dentist understood my fear with dental equipment from past experiences in a different office so he and his assistant made sure I was comfortable and even provided options such as noise canceling headphones! I thought that was very nice and accommodating. I’ll definitely come back to this office.

Dr. Mozner performs most tooth extractions in-house at Creative Dental of Syosset, including surgical extractions that some general dental offices would refer to an oral surgeon. Keeping these procedures in-house means patients can receive treatment from a provider they already know and trust, without the inconvenience of visiting a separate specialist office.

For patients who feel anxious about extractions, the office offers nitrous oxide sedation and uses techniques designed to make injections less noticeable. “We specialize in painless dentistry. With utmost kindness and compassion,” Dr. Mozner says. Noise-canceling headphones and Netflix are available during the procedure to help patients relax.

If an extraction is needed urgently due to infection or a broken tooth, same-day emergency appointments are available by calling (516) 921-3290. After extraction, Dr. Mozner can discuss replacement options including dental implants to restore the missing tooth.
