Whether you require a simple tooth extraction, a complex wisdom tooth removal, or gum surgery, Dr. Anita Paulus can provide you with the highest quality care. We are committed to ensuring your comfort and satisfaction throughout your treatment, offering top oral surgeries like:
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure to release a tight frenulum, a small piece of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth or the upper lip to the gum. A tight frenulum can cause various oral health issues, including difficulty breastfeeding, speech impediments, and gum recession.
Dr. Anita Paulus can perform frenectomies to alleviate these problems and improve your overall oral health. We use advanced techniques to ensure a comfortable and efficient procedure.
If you or your child is experiencing any issues related to a tight frenulum, please schedule a consultation with us to discuss your treatment options.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often cause discomfort, crowding, and other concerns as they erupt. At Paulus Dental & Paulus Orthodontics, Dr. Anita Paulus offers gentle evaluations and wisdom tooth removal surgeries. The wisdom tooth removal process may vary depending on the complexity of the case. We will carefully assess your individual situation and recommend the best course of treatment. Dr. Paulus will also discuss anesthesia options to ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience.
At Paulus Dental, the removal of impacted wisdom teeth is not included in our selection of oral surgeries. If you're experiencing any symptoms associated with impacted wisdom teeth, such as pain, swelling, or difficulty opening your mouth, it's important to seek professional care right away.
Gum Surgery
Gum disease can lead to serious oral health problems, including tooth loss. At Paulus Dental & Paulus Orthodontics, Dr. Anita Paulus offers a variety of gum surgery procedures to treat gum disease and restore oral health.
Gum surgery, also known as periodontal surgery, can help to reduce inflammation, eliminate bacteria, and promote tissue regeneration. Depending on the severity of your gum disease, Dr. Paulus may recommend one of the following procedures:
- Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning procedure to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line.
- Soft Tissue Laser Surgery: A minimally invasive procedure to reshape gum tissue and improve the appearance of your smile.
If you're experiencing symptoms of gum disease, such as bleeding gums, bad breath, or loose teeth, schedule a consultation with Dr. Anita Paulus. She will assess your oral health and recommend the appropriate treatment plan.
Tooth Extractions
Dr. Anita Paulus is highly skilled in performing tooth extractions. Whether you need to have a wisdom tooth removed or another tooth extracted due to decay, trauma, or other dental issues, you can trust in her expertise.
Dr. Paulus will use advanced techniques and sedation options to ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience. Depending on the complexity of the extraction, local anesthesia or nitrous oxide (laughing gas) may be used to help you relax during the procedure.
After the extraction, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote a speedy recovery. These instructions may include:
- How to manage pain and swelling
- Oral hygiene tips
- Dietary recommendations
- When to contact your dentist if you have any concerns
Root Canal Therapy
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that is infected or severely decayed. At Paulus Dental & Paulus Orthodontics, Dr. Anita Paulus is highly skilled in performing root canal therapy to relieve pain and prevent tooth loss.
During a root canal, the infected or damaged pulp is removed from the inside of the tooth, and the root canals are cleaned and disinfected. The tooth is then filled with a special material and sealed with a dental crown to protect it.
Root canal therapy is a common procedure that can help you keep your natural teeth and avoid the need for more extensive dental work, such as tooth extraction and dental implants.
If you're experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, or a persistent toothache, schedule a consultation with Dr. Anita Paulus to discuss your treatment options.

Dr. Paulus is committed to providing a comfortable and stress-free experience for all of her patients. She uses advanced techniques and sedation options to minimize discomfort and anxiety during procedures. Our team will work closely with you to ensure you feel relaxed and well-informed throughout the process.
