Why You Might Need a Tooth Extraction
If a filling, crown, or root canal treatment can’t save your tooth, extraction may be the best option.
Wisdom teeth removal can prevent jaw pain, gum inflammation, and future oral surgery if third molars become impacted.
Sometimes removing a partial or damaged tooth makes room for dental implants, denture fittings, or cosmetic treatments.
For an urgent scenario like severe infection or trauma, we’re equipped to extract the tooth promptly and safely.

Using numbing agents and sedation options, we ensure minimal discomfort—so you can rest assured throughout the procedure.

FAQ's
Got Questions? We've Got Answers!
Sometimes decay or infection is so severe that a filling or crown cannot save your tooth. In other cases, there may be jaw pain or overcrowding that impacts your oral health. Our dentist will diagnose your situation and determine the best treatment options, whether that means a tooth extraction, root canal treatment, or another restorative dentistry approach.
A simple extraction removes the tooth without cutting into gum tissue or bone, often performed when the tooth is fully visible and can be loosened easily. A surgical extraction, on the other hand, may involve an incision in the gum, removing partial bone, or splitting the tooth if it’s impacted—common with wisdom teeth removal. Your oral surgeon or dental professional will discuss the specifics at your consultation.
Yes. Extracting a severely infected or decayed tooth helps prevent the spread of infection and more serious health problems, like abscesses or bone loss in the jaw. Removing problematic third molars (wisdom teeth) can also avoid ongoing gum inflammation, swelling, or potential crowding that might jeopardize your optimal oral health.
Absolutely. We offer various sedation options to ensure you’re comfortable—ranging from local anesthesia to calm sedation techniques—so you’ll feel numb to pain and rest assured that your discomfort is minimized. Discuss your preferences with our dentist when you make an appointment.
Before the procedure, our team will review your medical history, discuss any medication you’re taking (like antibiotic needs or pain relievers), and provide instructions on what to eat or drink prior to your appointment. Following these guidelines ensures a state-of-the-art dental experience and a smooth recovery.
After we extract the tooth, you’ll receive detailed instructions on pain management, medication to keep you comfortable, and how to prevent infection. This might include soft foods, gentle rinsing, and avoiding strenuous activity for a short period. Taking these steps helps your gum tissue heal properly, minimizing complications.
Depending on your healing process and oral health status, some patients can opt for dental implants relatively soon after extraction, while others may require a longer wait to ensure the jaw and gum have fully recovered. We’ll customize a treatment plan that aligns with your well-being and desired timeline.
Coverage depends on your dental practice insurance plan. Many policies include basic oral surgery procedures if deemed medically necessary. For out-of-pocket costs, we offer flexible financing and payment plans, making it easier for you to prioritize your dental care without financial stress.
In some cases, yes. Root canal treatment, filling, or a crown can often save your tooth if the issue isn’t too advanced. Our team will always recommend the least invasive solution. If preserving the tooth isn’t viable, tooth extraction becomes the best path to avoid further dental issues or dental emergencies.
Mild discomfort is normal, but intense pain or sensitivity or significant swelling could signal infection or a dry socket.
