Whether you have a severely damaged tooth, a stubborn wisdom tooth, or an advanced infection, you can trust our experienced team to provide expert care and compassionate support every step of the way.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
We always do everything we can to save natural teeth. However, there are situations where removing a tooth is the best choice for your health:
Severe Decay or Infection: When decay has reached deep into the tooth and cannot be restored.
Advanced Gum Disease: Periodontal disease can loosen teeth and compromise bone support.
Cracked or Broken Teeth: Especially if the damage extends below the gumline.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are stuck beneath the gum or growing at an angle.
Failed Dental Work: Crowns, root canals, or fillings that can’t be repaired.
Overcrowding: Sometimes extractions are necessary before orthodontic treatment.
An extraction can prevent pain from worsening, stop the spread of infection, and protect your other teeth from damage.
Risks of Avoiding an Extraction
If a damaged or infected tooth isn’t removed, you risk:
Severe, ongoing pain.
Infection spreading to other teeth or even other parts of the body.
Damage to surrounding bone and gums.
More complicated and costly treatment later.
An extraction can be the step that stops the problem before it becomes much worse.

Your Comfort Is Our Priority
We understand that the idea of an extraction can make some patients nervous. That’s why we:
Offer local anesthesia to completely numb the area.
Provide sedation options for extra relaxation.
Use gentle, modern techniques to minimize trauma.
Maintain a supportive, calming environment from start to finish.
Our patients are often surprised by how quick and painless the process feels.
Types of Tooth Extractions We Perform
Simple Extractions: Performed when the tooth is fully visible and can be removed without surgical intervention.
Surgical Extractions: Required when the tooth is broken, impacted, or beneath the gumline. This may involve a small incision in the gum and sometimes removal of surrounding bone.
We use advanced techniques and anesthesia options to ensure your comfort throughout either procedure.
Recovery & Aftercare
Following an extraction, proper aftercare is essential for smooth healing. We’ll give you detailed instructions, which may include:
Applying gauze to control bleeding.
Using ice packs to reduce swelling.
Eating soft foods for the first few days.
Avoiding smoking and using straws.
Taking prescribed medications as directed.
Most patients can resume normal activities within a day or two, though complete healing of the extraction site takes a few weeks.
Replacing an Extracted Tooth
If the extracted tooth is not a wisdom tooth or otherwise unnecessary, replacing it is important for maintaining your bite, jawbone health, and smile appearance. We offer several restoration options, including:
Dental Implants: The most natural, permanent replacement.
Bridges: A fixed restoration that uses surrounding teeth for support.
Partial Dentures: A removable solution for missing teeth.
We’ll discuss your options before the extraction so you can plan for a seamless transition.
The Tooth Extraction Process
Our process is designed to keep you comfortable and informed:
Comprehensive Examination: We take digital X-rays to understand the tooth’s position, roots, and surrounding bone.
Anesthesia & Sedation: We numb the area completely and offer sedation options for those who feel anxious.
Gentle Removal: Using precise techniques, we remove the tooth with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.
Aftercare Guidance: We provide clear, easy-to-follow instructions to help you heal quickly and avoid complications.
Most extractions take less than an hour, and you can return home the same day.
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Wisdom teeth often cause problems because there isn’t enough room for them to grow properly. They can become impacted, grow sideways, crowd other teeth, or lead to painful infections.We recommend evaluating wisdom teeth in the late teens or early twenties, before problems develop. If extraction is needed, our team uses advanced surgical techniques to minimize discomfort and speed recovery.
