Tooth Extractions

You and Dr. Haynie may determine that you need a tooth extraction for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.

The removal of a single tooth can lead to problems related to your chewing ability, problems with your jaw joint, and shifting teeth, which can have a major impact on your dental health.

To avoid these complications, in most cases, Dr. Haynie will discuss alternatives to extractions as well as replacement of the extracted tooth.

The Tooth Extraction Process

At the time of extraction the doctor will need to numb your tooth, jaw bone and gums that surround the area with a local anesthetic.

During the extraction process you will feel a lot of pressure. This is from the process of firmly rocking the tooth in order to widen the socket for removal.

You feel the pressure without pain as the anesthetic has numbed the nerves stopping the transference of pain, yet the nerves that transmit pressure are not profoundly affected.

If you do feel pain at any time during the extraction please let us know right away.

Sectioning a Tooth

Some teeth require sectioning. This is a very common procedure done when a tooth is so firmly anchored in its socket or the root is curved and the socket can’t expand enough to remove it. The doctor simply cuts the tooth into sections then removes each section one at a time.

My sincere thanks for an excellent experience! From my first contact - actually your office contacted me, how awesome is that! - to my procedure on Friday, every Team member was kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. Each detail of my procedure from the costs, to the pre-op, to explaining the procedure, to post-op was addressed with kindness and competence. When you are going to be sedated with delicate work performed on your mouth, having confidence and trust in those doing the procedure is absolutely essential. We have that trust in Dr. Haynie and the entire staff. Plus, it was as pain free as could be expected. A special shout out to the wonderful Team member (I am terrible with names) who prepped me for the procedure as the IV placement was completely painless. Amazing! And on day two my recovery is going really well, a testament to the excellent work at your office. I would also add that while the Team was kind and wonderful to work with, the defining characteristic is that each person I dealt with, seemed genuinely happy to be working in their position. And that is truly a step above excellent service. That is a feature only found in organizations that create an environment where people are respected, valued, and take great pride in their accomplishments. So hats off to your team!

The staff, everyone I saw, made me feel I was the most important person in the world to them. I am a 72 year old chicken when it comes to dental work. However, I will not hesitate to call them up the next time I need work done. Everything about them was top notch, I could not have asked for any better.

I am not the best dental patient and was uneasy about the extraction. I arrived at the office was taken in immediately to the extraction room and made comfortable. The assistants were ready, doctor came in explained the procedure asked if I had any questions. I would highly recommend the Dr and office.

Just wanted to give a shout out to the whole team!! Thank you so very much for being kind and courteous during our difficult time! You got us in right away and were able to do a same day consultation and extraction! We were late because of a mix up with our paper work that didn’t have the correct address due to miscommunication from our referral Dentist. Even with a packed day for you guys you still went above and beyond! Thank you so much for being understanding. The care and advice we received on how to proceed with our procedures was amazing!! We definitely will recommend you guys to anyone needed dental services Five Stars for sure!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had 3 appointments: evaluation, pre-op, and surgery at Lakeland Oral Surgery. The first 2 were in Ponderay, the last in Coeur d"Alene. In each case I found the office & staff to be both professional and efficient. I was told what would happen, was encouraged to ask questions, and was able to choose some options where appropriate. Not only were the doctor and other people professional, but also friendly. This makes for a comfortable atmosphere and must contribute to the ultimate physical result. I received paper printouts concerning medications, diet, my expected post-op behavior, and the near-time evolution of my oral results. My follow-up office visit has been scheduled. As of this writing I am at the morning after surgery. I slept well, partly due to taking two pain pills at the appropriate interval. I am wondering if I will even need more pain pills, since the pain I am experiencing is minimal (nearly unnoticeable). Clearly Dr. Haynie is not only an exemplary oral surgeon, but has organized his facilities along thos same lines.

My husband was the patient and I was his driver. Everyone was so amazing and professional! I so wish you had an office on Maui where we live, but now know that we would travel back to Idaho and your office for future care.

Prompt, very friendly, and concerned about overall comfort level and impressed by the fact that the Dr actually called to check up on me instead of having his staff do it.

This was my first visit to Lakeside Dental but it was my forth tooth extraction I have had over the last four years. This was the most painless and easy tooth extraction I have ever had. Dr. Haynia is clearly the best professional oral surgeon I have even encountered. The staff was also excellent. They were very professional and at the same time very personal and friendly . Actually beyond friendly -they seemed to have a very sincere concern for my well being and comfort. I commend Dr. Haynia for hiring such a great staff. I also commend Dr. Haynia for ability to explain the situation and tell me my options in a clear and precise manner. I would unhesitatingly recommend Lakeside Dental to anyone in need of their services.

It’s always scary, intimidating and nerve-wracking to see an oral surgeon for extractions. BUT, at Dr. Haynie’s office, we were made to feel at ease and comfortable immediately by his wonderful staff. When we met Dr. Haynie, he was pleasant, professional, confident, and explained everything in great detail. The day of the surgery was exceptional and we left with no bleeding and virtually no pain. With our earlier experience at another office, we had to return three (3) times to be cauterized to stop the incessant bleeding. It was very traumatic. We give our highest recommendations to anyone needing oral surgery to Dr. Haynie. He is truly the BEST!!! J. Moller 3/20/22

FAN-DAMN_TASTIC!! I was treated with the upmost respect, and courtesy. My fears were alleviated by the professional actions and knowledge of the nursing staff, and the front office personnel.. The attention to duty and knowledge of this patient, along with his fears and obvious nervousness going into the procedure were taken into account, and gently, as possible, soothed and reduced to a great extent. The last thing I remember was Dr. Haynie saying he was going to give me something to "Relax me". Then I herd one of his nurses telling me I was going to have to wake up, so they could move me to recovery. Trust me when I say this was nothing like being at the V.A. for something like this. Dr. Haynie you a Very Strong and Professional Team . Tou should be proud of the cohesive knowledgeable, and sympathetic organization that have aligned themselves with you. They ALL get a massive "ATTA-BOY" from me, along with the highest thanks and praise. Thank you for the splendid and easy to take procedure. Sincerely Jerry Birdsell

Would definitely recommend Lakeside Oral Surgery to all my friends and family. The whole staff is very warm and welcoming. They worked really hard to make my daughter comfortable and calm before her surgery. After the surgery she told me “ That wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.” Big thank you to the Lakeside Oral Surgery Staff for being GREAT!!🤗

The moment you walk through the door, your greeted by a wonderful Staff behind the front desk. Every person I met during my consultation , very open, and kind. I was impressed from the beginning, all the way to the day of my appointment. I would recommend him in a heartbeat, and I just did today. He would be my "go to". After all, no one loves going to the 'DENTIST', but Dr. Haynie made my experience a good one, Lynn

16 days ago my wife, Joyce, had her upper teeth and 2 implants removed because of infection by Dr Hainey. Her gums are healing nicely and the surgery went well/ Dr Hainey prior to surgery explained what would happen and post surgery how Joyce should proceed. If we would need dental surgery in the future we would have Dr Hainey do it.

I couldn’t have asked for better care than I received on my first visit. I felt like everyone was really interested in who I was not just a patient to treat. We soon discovered that my granddaughter had recently been there for an appointment. It really pleases a grandparent to hear nice things about her. I am really grateful that the procedure was pain free! Got to sleep through the whole thing. Many thanks to each of the staff and for the thoughtful follow up call from Dr. Haynie.
