Extraction is usually the last option considered, recommended only after a dentist has ruled out a crown, root canal, or other restorative fix. A tooth that's intact and accessible is typically a simple extraction; one that's fractured, impacted, or below the gum requires a surgical approach.
Local anesthesia numbs the area completely before any extraction begins, with sedation options available for anxious patients or more involved surgical cases. Aftercare instructions focus on protecting the blood clot that forms in the socket, since disturbing it can lead to a painful complication called dry socket.
Delaying a decision on replacement isn't necessarily a problem, though your provider will flag if drift risk makes it worth doing sooner. Socket preservation at the time of extraction is a small step now that keeps more options open later.
No separate referral needed for more complex surgical extractions in most cases.
Comfort options beyond local anesthesia are offered for patients who need them.
A tooth causing acute pain or infection can often be removed the same day it's diagnosed.
You leave with specific instructions on diet, rinsing, and activity to protect the healing socket.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist you reach through us has handled it before.
For teeth fully visible above the gumline, removed with local anesthesia in a routine visit.
For teeth broken at the gumline or not fully erupted, requiring a small incision to access the tooth.
Addresses teeth beyond restorative repair, often alongside a discussion of replacement options.
Often paired with a broader periodontal treatment plan for remaining teeth.
Removes specific teeth to create space needed before braces or aligner treatment begins.
Bone graft material placed in the socket preserves jawbone volume for a future implant.
