A tooth extraction is only as good as the hands performing it. Here’s why hundreds of New Yorkers choose Dr. Cameron Lewis and the Smile Lab Dentistry team when it matters most.
Tooth extractions aren't something you want to leave to just anyone. Dr. Cameron Lewis is a board-trained oral and maxillofacial surgeon with a doctorate from Howard University College of Dentistry and surgical internships at New York Medical College and Jacobi Medical Center. With over a decade of successfully performing complex extractions — including cases other clinics turn away — you'll be in exceptionally skilled and experienced hands from start to finish.
Dr. Cameron takes his oath seriously — and that means no patient leaves Smile Lab Dentistry in unnecessary pain or discomfort. From the anesthesia options available before your procedure to the patient, attentive post-op care provided after, every step of your extraction is handled with precision and genuine compassion. Our patients consistently praise Dr. Cameron for making one of dentistry's most feared procedures feel manageable, calm, and far less scary than expected.
At Smile Lab Dentistry, we fight to save your natural teeth before anything else. Fillings, sealants, root canals — every available option is explored before extraction is ever recommended. When an extraction is necessary, you can trust that it's truly the right call for your long-term oral health, clearly explained to you in full before we proceed. No surprises. No unnecessary procedures. Just honest, patient-first care.
Here at Smile Lab in Union Square, New York we take every precaution necessary to ensure the safety of our patients, and to ensure that every tooth extraction is painless and free of undue complications. We’re also incredibly transparent with our patients about every step in the process.
In fact, in the spirit of transparency, here’s a closer look into Dr. Cameron’s precise and specialized process for performing tooth extractions.
We begin with a thorough examination of the mouth to isolate the teeth that need extraction. This may require an X-ray or 3D imaging. The X-ray results will help Dr. Cameron decide if you require simple extraction or surgical extraction. Your treatment plan will then be shared with you in its entirety.
Depending on how deep your teeth are lodged into your gums, Dr Cameron may just apply local anesthesia to the surrounding area or fully sedate you with laughing gas. In case he chooses the sedative option, an injection will be inserted into one of the veins in your arm to administer the sedative.
Depending on the type of extraction you need, extra tissue and bone may be removed to get access to the underlying tooth. A small incision may also be made in your gums to get easier access to the tooth.
Finally, Dr Cameron will use an elevator and forceps to slowly loosen and ease out your tooth from its place.
Immediately after the procedure, the patient may be given gauze to bite down on to help in developing a blood clot. You’ll also be advised to not spit, smoke, or use a straw while drinking so that the blood clot can develop without interruptions.
Tooth extractions are incredibly delicate procedures that some dental clinics just straight-up refuse to perform due to the risks associated. They require an expert’s hand to ensure that the operation doesn’t end up causing even more pain and discomfort. Also to ensure that it doesn’t end up causing irreversible damage to your jaw bone or gums, resulting in the need for an even pricier and riskier surgical operation in the future.
Dr. Cameron Lewis here at Smile Lab in Union Square, Manhattan has been a practicing oral and maxillofacial surgeon for over a decade. He got his doctorate in dental surgery from the Howard University College of Dentistry back in 2007. He continued his practice by gaining oral and maxillofacial surgery internships at the New York Medical College and Jacobi Medical Center.
But his greatest achievement yet is performing hundreds of successful tooth extractions despite complications for satisfied patients who remain connected with Smile Lab, NYC to this day.
So, rest assured if you do pick us to perform your tooth extraction, you’ll be in very experienced and capable hands.

Sedation dentistry is the use of safe, carefully administered medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s an ideal solution for anyone who experiences dental anxiety, has a low pain threshold, needs multiple procedures completed at once, or has simply been avoiding the dentist out of fear. At Smile Lab Dentistry in Union Square, we offer three levels of sedation — nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation — so every patient can find a comfort level that works for them.
The cost of sedation dentistry in Manhattan varies depending on the type of sedation used and the length and complexity of your procedure. Nitrous oxide is typically the most affordable option, while oral and IV sedation carry a higher cost. At Smile Lab Dentistry, we offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options so cost is never a barrier to comfortable care. Call us at 332-237-6453 and our team will walk you through pricing before your appointment.
Yes — when administered by trained and certified professionals, sedation dentistry is very safe. At Smile Lab Dentistry, our sedation dentists are fully certified in every method we offer. Your full medical history and current medications are reviewed before any sedation is administered, and your vital signs are continuously monitored throughout the entire procedure. Your safety is never compromised — every precaution is taken from start to finish.
Dental anxiety is far more common than most people realize — studies show over 58% of people experience some level of anxiety about visiting the dentist. The most important first step is telling your dental team how you feel. At Smile Lab Dentistry, we never judge or rush anxious patients. Beyond sedation, our team uses a calm, transparent approach — explaining every step before it happens, moving at your pace, and creating an environment designed to put you at ease. If anxiety has been keeping you from the dentist, sedation dentistry may be exactly the solution you’ve been looking for.
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed sedative pill — typically a benzodiazepine — before your dental appointment. By the time you arrive at Smile Lab Dentistry, the medication will have taken effect, leaving you deeply relaxed and drowsy while still conscious and able to respond to Dr. Ebrahimi’s instructions. It’s a popular option for patients with moderate anxiety or those undergoing longer procedures. Because the effects linger after the appointment, you will need someone to drive you home afterward.
Smile Lab Dentistry in Union Square is one of Manhattan’s top-rated destinations for sedation dentistry. With a 4.7-star rating across more than 1,400 patient reviews on Google and ZocDoc, Dr. Ebrahimi and his team have built a reputation for delivering genuinely comfortable, anxiety-free dental care that keeps patients coming back. Whether you need light nitrous oxide or deeper IV sedation, Smile Lab Dentistry offers every option under one roof — administered by certified professionals who put your comfort and safety first.
