Sometimes the best Move is a clean removal
Common reasons Dr. Anderson removes teeth:
Severe decay
The tooth is too far gone for a crown or root canal.
Fracture
A crack below the gumline that cannot be repaired.
Active Infection
Spreading infection that puts surrounding bone and neighboring teeth at risk.
Impacted Teeth
A tooth trapped in the jaw or gum that cannot erupt on its own.
Failed Root Canal
The tooth was treated and will not heal.
Preparing For a Dental Implant
A compromised tooth must come out before a dental implant can go in.

Not every tooth extraction is the same.
Simple extraction is used when the tooth is fully visible above the gumline. Dr. Anderson loosens it and removes it. Many patients are surprised by how quick it is.
- A small incision is made in the gum
- The tooth may be divided into sections before removal
- In the hands of a surgeon who does this daily, it is routine oral surgery
Any tooth can become impacted, not just wisdom teeth.
Impacted canines are one of the most common. These are the pointed teeth on either side of your front four. When they get trapped, they press on neighboring teeth and cause damage that gets worse over time.
Impacted teeth can damage surrounding bone, gum tissue, and adjacent teeth
X-rays can identify them early, sometimes as young as age seven
Dr. Anderson treats impacted canines and other non-wisdom impactions in Peachtree City
For wisdom teeth specifically,
Volume and training make a Real difference.
Dr. Anderson trained in general surgery alongside physicians as well as dentists, and holds both a dental and a medical degree (DMD, MD). That medical background matters when a patient has a complex health history or needs IV sedation.
He has handled cases with curved roots, dense bone, teeth that fracture mid-procedure, and patients with complex medical histories
He is the surgeon other dentists call when something unexpected comes up
He has years of surgical training for head and neck trauma and abnormalities
Sedation keeps you comfortable, no matter how anxious you feel.
Many people put off necessary tooth extractions because of anxiety. Pain builds, infection can spread, and a simple extraction becomes a bigger one. You do not have to wait.
General anesthesia
You are fully asleep. Best for complex cases, anxious patients, or multiple extractions
IV sedation
You are deeply relaxed and unlikely to remember the procedure.
Nitrous oxide
Relaxed while staying awake, wears off quickly.
Local anesthesia only
Numbs the area completely.

During your All-On-X procedure and in severe cases, a dedicated CRNA manages your sedation and anesthesia while Dr. Anderson focuses entirely on surgery, two providers, each with one job. We go over the right option at your consultation.
Severe pain, facial swelling, or signs of infection cannot wait.

Losing a tooth does not Have to mean losing it Permanently.
Your options for replacing the tooth include:
A dental implant
The most complete long-term solution
An implant-supported overdenture
If multiple teeth are missing
All-on-X
If you are replacing a full arch
In some cases, a dental implant can be placed the same day as the extraction, which shortens the overall timeline.
Most extractions heal without trouble. Here is what to watch for.
You will have some soreness for a few days. Swelling is normal. Rest, soft foods, and the written instructions we send home with you do most of the work.
One thing worth knowing dry socket.
- Occurs in roughly five percent of extractions, and more often with lower teeth
- Smoking, drinking through a straw, and vigorous rinsing in the first few days raise the risk
- Usually shows up three to five days after the extraction
Signs to watch for:
- Steady, dull pain at the site that does not improve after day two or three
- Pain that does not respond to over-the-counter medication
- A bad taste or odor in the area
- Throbbing or pulsating that radiates to the ear and/or temple.
If you think you have dry socket, call us. One of our surgeons will treat it quickly.

Paul Anderson, DMD, MD
Board-Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon
Dr. Anderson has handled Peachtree City’s surgical extractions for 24 years. He is a medical doctor as well as an oral surgeon, so the cases your general dentist refers out are routine here.
How It Works
Step 01
Consultation
We review your X-rays and do an exam. We go over your medical history, anesthesia options, and what the procedure involves.
Step 02
Planning What Comes Next
Before the extraction, we discuss socket preservation and replacement options. You leave knowing the full picture, not just the next appointment.
Step 03
Extraction Day
You are comfortable. We use the sedation or anesthesia level that is right for you. Dr. Anderson handles the procedure.
Step 04
Recovery and Follow-Up
You go home with written instructions and our direct number. If anything feels off, call us and we see you.
Let’s Get That Tooth Taken Care Of.
Will it hurt?
During the procedure, no. We use local anesthesia on every patient, plus whatever sedation you choose. You will feel pressure but not sharp pain. Some soreness after is normal and responds to common pain relievers.
How long does recovery take?
Many patients feel back to normal within three to seven days for a simple extraction. Surgical or multiple extractions may take a bit longer.
I have impacted canines, not wisdom teeth. Can you handle that?
Yes. Impacted canines and other non-wisdom-tooth impactions are a routine part of what Dr. Anderson does here in Peachtree City.
What if I am nervous or afraid?
Tell us. We have options from nitrous oxide all the way to general anesthesia. The goal is for you to leave feeling like it was a non-event.
What happens to the open space after the tooth comes out?
We recommend socket preservation to protect the bone. After healing, dental implants are the closest thing to a natural tooth. We will walk you through all the options at your consultation.
How quickly can I be seen if I have severe pain or swelling?
Call 770-302-0101. We understand some situations cannot wait.
See What Is Possible at Your Consultation.
Whether you already know a tooth needs to come out or you just want someone to take a look, this is the right place to start. We will be honest about what we see and walk you through every option.
At your consultation, you get:
- A complete exam and review of your imaging
- A clear explanation of the procedure and which sedation option fits your needs
- A conversation about socket preservation and tooth replacement
