Extraction is usually the last option considered, recommended only after a dentist has ruled out a crown, root canal, or other restorative fix. Simple extractions handle teeth fully visible above the gumline, while surgical extractions are needed when a tooth is broken at the gumline or hasn't fully erupted.
Local anesthesia numbs the area completely before any extraction begins, with sedation options available for anxious patients or more involved surgical cases. Following the socket-care instructions closely for the first few days is what prevents the most common post-extraction complication.
Delaying a decision on replacement isn't necessarily a problem, though your provider will flag if drift risk makes it worth doing sooner. If an implant is planned down the line, a bone graft placed at the time of extraction can preserve the socket's shape for that later procedure.
No separate referral needed for more complex surgical extractions in most cases.
Nitrous oxide or oral sedation is available for patients nervous about the procedure.
Urgent extractions are prioritized rather than scheduled weeks out.
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.
The most common extraction type, typically quick with straightforward recovery.
Handles more complicated cases where the tooth can't simply be lifted out whole.
Removes a tooth too decayed to support a filling or crown, stopping the decay from spreading further.
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.
