Sometimes Removal Is The Best Path

We always try to save your natural teeth first — but when a tooth is too damaged, infected, or impacted to keep, a careful extraction is the right move for your overall health.

Our team explains every option clearly, including what to expect during recovery and how to replace the missing tooth so your bite stays balanced.

  • Severe decay beyond what a crown can save
  • Advanced gum disease loosening the tooth
  • Cracked or fractured tooth below the gumline
  • Impacted or problem wisdom teeth
  • Crowding before orthodontic treatment

Comfort, Care, & A Plan Forward

We focus on making the procedure as easy as possible — and on protecting your smile for the long run.

Replacement Plan

From implants to bridges, we'll talk about how to fill the gap before you leave.

What To Expect

Most simple extractions take just 20–30 minutes — and you walk out with a clear recovery plan.

Exam & X-Rays

We confirm extraction is the right choice and review your medical history.

Numbing & Comfort

Local anesthetic fully numbs the area — sedation options if you'd like to relax further.

Gentle Removal

The tooth is loosened and removed. You'll feel pressure but not pain.

Aftercare Plan

Clear written instructions, replacement options reviewed, and follow-up scheduled.

Healing Smoothly At Home

Most patients are back to normal within a few days. A few simple steps make recovery much easier.

  • Bite gently on gauze for 30–45 minutes after
  • Use a cold compress to reduce swelling
  • Stick to soft, cool foods for the first 24 hours
  • No straws, smoking, or vigorous rinsing for 48 hours
  • Take pain relievers as directed; call us with questions

Common Questions

Does an extraction hurt?
No. With local anesthesia (and sedation options if needed), the procedure is comfortable. You'll feel pressure but not pain. Mild soreness afterward is normal and easily managed.
How long does it take to heal?
Most simple extractions heal in 7–10 days. Surgical extractions (like wisdom teeth) may take 1–2 weeks. We'll give you specific aftercare instructions for your situation.
Will I need to replace the tooth?
Front teeth and most back teeth — yes. Leaving a gap can cause neighboring teeth to shift and bone to deteriorate. We'll review options like implants, bridges, and partial dentures.
How much does an extraction cost?
Costs depend on the tooth and complexity. Simple extractions are typically covered by insurance. We'll give you a written estimate before treatment so there are no surprises.
Can I drive home afterward?
For routine extractions with local anesthesia — yes. If you choose sedation, you'll need someone to drive you home.
