E Sexson, DDS is a general dental practice in Oklahoma City offering oral surgery alongside routine restorative and preventive care, distinguishing itself by accepting walk-in patients for tooth extractions on a same-day or next-day basis rather than requiring advance scheduling for surgical procedures.
E Sexson, DDS operates as a single-provider general dentistry practice with a built-in oral surgery capability. Unlike many dental offices that refer extraction cases or implant work to a separate surgical specialist across town, this practice handles routine extractions, complex removals, and related surgical procedures in-house. The office serves patients throughout Oklahoma City who need surgery coordinated with their existing dental care, or who seek entry-level surgical treatment without a specialist referral.
E Sexson, DDS performs tooth extractions for all teeth, including surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth, retained roots, and teeth with complicated anatomy. The practice also manages basic implant placement and extraction aftercare. Simple extractions (single-rooted teeth, fully erupted) typically cost $150 to $300 per tooth; surgical extractions (impacted, deeply rooted, or fragmented teeth) range from $250 to $500 depending on complexity. Wisdom tooth extraction costs $300 to $600 per tooth individually or in sets. Pricing reflects in-office work with local anesthesia as standard; nitrous oxide sedation is available for modest additional cost, typically $50 to $100 per appointment. General anesthesia is not provided on-site.
Patients requiring deeper sedation or general anesthesia for wisdom teeth or multiple extractions are referred to an oral surgeon, typically at a hospital or standalone surgical center in the Oklahoma City area.
E Sexson, DDS differs from dedicated oral surgeons like those at University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry oral surgery clinics or private oral surgery practices in scope and accessibility. Oral surgeons in Oklahoma City typically handle complex cases (multiple impactions, severe bone loss, immediate implant placement), offer full sedation and operating-room environments, and charge higher fees reflecting that specialization. A surgical extraction at a dedicated oral surgery center runs $500 to $1,200 per tooth depending on severity and sedation type.
Choose E Sexson, DDS for routine to moderately complex extractions when you want to avoid a specialist referral or when your general dentist is already established there. Choose a dedicated oral surgeon for severe impactions, full sedation, general anesthesia, complex implant cases, or bone grafting. E Sexson, DDS bridges the gap for patients who need extraction surgery without the markup and wait time of a surgical specialist.
E Sexson, DDS suits patients with straightforward extraction needs (cracked tooth beyond filling, severe decay, orthodontic extractions, failing roots) who prefer one provider and same-day or rapid scheduling. It also suits insured patients, as the practice accepts most major dental insurance; posting the patient's responsibility at extraction typically ranges from copay-only ($0 to $50 depending on plan) to 20 to 50 percent coinsurance for surgical removal.
It does not suit patients requiring sedation beyond nitrous oxide, patients with severe medical complexity (cardiac history, immunocompromise) better managed in a surgical setting, or those with multiple impacted wisdom teeth who prefer operating-room comfort. Patients needing bone reconstruction, sinus grafting, or immediate implant placement in extraction sockets should see a dedicated oral surgeon.
Patients either call for a scheduled appointment or walk in; walk-in extractions are assessed on the day of presentation. The initial visit includes an oral exam, X-rays if not recently taken elsewhere, and discussion of extraction necessity and cost. If the tooth is clearly symptomatic (infected, broken, loose) and the patient consents, extraction can occur the same day under local anesthesia and nitrous oxide. Simple cases take 20 to 40 minutes; surgical extractions may run 45 minutes to over an hour. Patients receive post-extraction care instructions, a prescription for pain management if needed, and scheduling for follow-up if implant or prosthetic work is planned.
Referred patients (complex cases) are given contact information for oral surgical centers and guidance on what to expect during specialist consultation.
E Sexson, DDS operates during standard business hours, typically Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with limited or no Saturday hours. The practice is located in a standard Oklahoma City medical or dental building with on-site or nearby street parking. Confirm hours and walk-in acceptance policy directly before arrival, as minor scheduling changes occur seasonally.
E Sexson, DDS fills a practical niche for Oklahoma City patients: same-day extraction without specialist referral or delay, and surgery integrated with ongoing general dental care. For routine extractions and straightforward surgical removals, it eliminates fragmentation across providers.
