Facing the removal of several teeth at once may feel like a turning point, but for many patients, it is really the first step toward a healthier and more comfortable smile. When decay, gum disease, or injury affects multiple teeth, removing them in a single, carefully planned procedure often relieves pain faster and sets the stage for lasting restoration.
At Goodove Oral Surgery, Dr. Scott Goodove and Dr. Peter Zagursky perform multiple tooth extractions for patients throughout Virginia Beach with the skill and personal attention you would expect from your hometown oral surgeon. As an independent, locally owned practice, we have the flexibility to make decisions based on what is best for each patient, and our full range of oral surgery procedures allows us to plan your extraction and your restoration under one roof.
Multiple tooth extractions are recommended when several teeth can no longer be saved and keeping them would put your oral health at risk. Tooth loss is more common than many people think. According to the CDC’s 2024 Oral Health Surveillance Report, nearly 1 in 5 adults aged 75 and older have lost all of their teeth, and the likelihood of tooth loss climbs steadily with age.
There are several common situations where removing multiple teeth becomes the healthiest option. These include:
If any of these situations sound familiar, a consultation is the best way to learn which teeth can be saved and which should be removed. Our doctors will examine your mouth, review your imaging, and thoroughly discuss every option with you before anything is decided.
Comfort and safety guide every step of treatment at our Virginia Beach office. Before your procedure, we use advanced imaging to map the position of each tooth and the surrounding bone, which allows our surgeons to plan precise, efficient extractions. We also review your health history and discuss anesthesia options, including nitrous oxide and deeper sedation, so you can choose the level of comfort that feels right for you.
On the day of surgery, our highly trained surgical staff takes the extra step to create a genuinely caring environment, whether that means a friendly hand to hold, a warm blanket to enhance your comfort, or playing your favorite song during treatment to help you relax. Every staff member is CPR certified, and patients are closely monitored during and after surgery. Once your procedure is complete, we provide detailed aftercare instructions for multiple extractions so you know exactly how to care for the surgical sites, manage swelling, and protect the healing areas at home.
Removing teeth is only part of what your smile may need. When multiple teeth are extracted, the jawbone in those areas begins to shrink over time, which can affect your bite, your facial structure, and your options for replacement teeth. That is why our doctors plan your restoration at the same time they plan your extractions.
For many patients, bone grafting performed at the time of extraction preserves the height and width of the jawbone, keeping the door open for future tooth replacement. From there, dental implants offer a secure, long-lasting way to restore single teeth, several teeth, or a full arch. During your consultation, we will explain how each option fits your goals, your timeline, and your budget so you can choose with confidence.
Goodove Oral Surgery is an independent, community-focused practice by choice. Because we are locally owned and operated, our doctors have the flexibility to make decisions based on what is best for each patient and family. This allows us to provide a more personalized experience, with direct access to your surgeon, continuity of care, and a team committed to building lasting relationships within the community we serve.
That commitment extends to making treatment accessible. We accept many major dental insurance plans, including PPO plans, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, TRICARE, and Veterans Affairs coverage, and we offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry. Our doctors also hold operating privileges at several local hospitals, including the Virginia Beach Ambulatory Surgery Center, so patients with special medical or anesthetic needs can receive care in the setting that is safest for them.
If failing teeth are causing you pain or holding you back from the smile you want, you do not have to figure out the next steps alone. The experienced doctors at Goodove Oral Surgery combine surgical precision with the warmth of a hometown practice, guiding you from your first consultation through extraction, healing, and restoration.
Our Virginia Beach team will answer your questions, verify your insurance benefits, and build a treatment plan designed around your health and your comfort. Get the relief and renewed smile you deserve by contacting our Virginia Beach office to schedule your consultation today.
