If a tooth is too damaged from decay, infection, or trauma to be saved, removing it may be the best way to safeguard your oral health. Our modern techniques result in a seamless and efficient procedure.
Your dentist uses digital X-rays and 3-D imaging to assess the affected tooth and surrounding area and determine the best approach.
Your mouth is numbed with local anesthesia so you won’t feel a thing. You can also receive sedation if you’d like.
Your dentist uses precision techniques to remove the problem tooth or teeth. We perform most extractions in our office, so you won’t need a referral to an outside oral surgeon.
You’ll receive detailed aftercare guidelines for a smooth recovery. After proper healing, your dentist can advise you on restorative options like dental implants to maintain your smile’s full function and appearance.
Undergoing a dental extraction can be stressful, so we prioritize your comfort at every step. Our office provides pillows, blankets, and TVs to create a soothing atmosphere.
If you feel nervous about treatment, you can take advantage of sedation options such as inhaled sedation or oral conscious sedation. If needed, we can arrange for an anesthesiologist to assist when deeper relaxation is required.
No matter the reason for your extraction, our team ensures a stress-free experience and will support you through the healing process so you can get back to a healthy, pain-free smile.

No, you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure. Your dentist will numb the area with a local anesthetic to ensure you’re comfortable. If you have dental anxiety or want additional relief, we offer sedation options to suit your needs. You may experience some mild discomfort after the procedure, but we’ll provide you with aftercare instructions and recommend pain management options to support your recovery.
Recovery time depends on the complexity of the extraction, but most patients feel better within a few days to a week. During this time, you’ll need to follow aftercare instructions, such as avoiding hard foods, using ice packs to reduce swelling, and keeping the area clean. For more complex extractions, like wisdom teeth or multiple teeth, healing may take longer. Your dentist will monitor your progress during follow-up visits to ensure proper healing.
After your extraction, your dentist will discuss replacement options based on your needs and goals. Common solutions include dental implants, which provide a lifelike replacement for single or multiple missing teeth, and bridges that fill gaps using nearby teeth as support. If you’re missing several teeth or an entire arch, implant-supported dentures or All-on-X implants may be recommended. Replacing the tooth helps restore your bite, maintain jawbone health, and enhance the appearance of your smile.
