At Barras Family Dentistry in Lafayette, we’ve helped hundreds of patients move from discomfort and worry to peace of mind through dental surgery. No shame, lectures, or pressure. Whether it’s a problematic molar or an impacted wisdom tooth, we can provide advanced and compassionate surgical dentistry. Because when a tooth has to go, it should go as smoothly and comfortably as possible.
A Gentle Approach to Oral Surgery
Our surgical procedures aren’t just about what we do, they’re about how we do it. If you’re in pain, avoiding certain foods, or just tired of feeling distracted by your teeth, it may be time to talk to us about a surgical solution. Here’s what we offer:
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes a tooth simply can’t be saved. Whether it’s due to deep decay, advanced gum disease, trauma, or a stubborn baby tooth that’s overstayed its welcome, we provide both simple and surgical tooth extractions with your comfort and long-term health in mind.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
If your wisdom teeth are impacted or have led to crowding, pain, or repeated infections, we offer gentle, precise wisdom teeth extractions for teens and adults alike. We’ll walk you through what to expect and make sure you’re supported every step of the way.
Why You Might Need Surgical Dentistry
We get it—”surgery” sounds intense. But in many cases, it’s the most effective way to:
- Relieve chronic pain or infection
- Make room for orthodontic treatment
- Prevent further damage to surrounding teeth or bone
- Support your long-term oral health goals
We use digital X-rays and 3D imaging to plan your care accurately, so we can avoid guesswork and support positive outcomes. And if you’re worried about pain or stress, let’s talk. We offer local anesthesia and additional comfort options so your procedure can be as easy on you as possible.
The Dental Surgery Process
We keep the steps simple and clear because surgical dentistry should never feel overwhelming.
Consultation and Imaging
We’ll evaluate the issue, review your health history, and take detailed images to understand what’s going on beneath the surface.
Personalized Treatment Plan
If an extraction is the best solution, we’ll explain why and what to expect. We never push unnecessary treatments—our job is to support your health and confidence.
Gentle, Precise Surgery
On the day of your procedure, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable, walk you through each step, and keep the experience as stress-free as possible.
With your surgery complete, we’ll provide thorough aftercare instructions and check in with you to see how you’re doing. Our post-op instructions are designed to help you with a simple and smooth recovery. You’re never on your own!
