What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction

We take every measure to make your extraction as comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation & assessment: We’ll examine your tooth using digital X-rays and discuss your treatment options.
Comfort & anesthesia: Depending on your needs, we offer local anesthesia and sedation options to help you feel relaxed.
Extraction: Our experienced dentists carefully remove the tooth while minimizing impact on surrounding tissue.
Aftercare guidance: We’ll provide personalized instructions to help you heal quickly and comfortably.

Why Might a Tooth Extraction Be Necessary?

Common reasons for tooth extraction include:

Severe decay or damage: If a tooth is too damaged for a filling, crown, or root canal to restore it, extraction may be necessary to protect surrounding teeth.
Infection or abscess: When an infection spreads deep into the tooth and threatens to reach the jawbone or other teeth, extraction may be the best way to prevent further complications.
Gum disease & loose teeth: Advanced gum disease can weaken the structures that hold your teeth in place. If a tooth becomes too loose, extraction may be the best option to protect your overall dental health.
Overcrowding or orthodontic needs: Teeth may need to be extracted to make space for proper alignment, especially before orthodontic treatment.
Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth: Wisdom teeth often don’t have enough room to emerge properly, often leading to discomfort, infection, and misalignment. Removal can help prevent these issues and protect your smile.

Wisdom Teeth Removal: Protect Your Oral Health

Wisdom teeth often need removal if they’re impacted or causing discomfort, infection, or misalignment. No matter the cause, we’ll guide you through the process with anesthesia options to help keep you comfortable.

Our skilled dental team uses modern AI-driven technology to plan and perform your extraction. Depending on your needs, we offer local or sedation anesthesia to keep you comfortable.

After the extraction, mild swelling and discomfort are common, but recovery typically takes only a few days. If you suspect you need your wisdom teeth removed, contact us today for a consultation to begin the planning stage.

Healing & Recovery from an Extraction

Most patients recover from an extraction within a few days, with full healing taking about 1–2 weeks. For a smooth recovery:

Rest and avoid strenuous activity for the first 24 hours
Stick to soft foods and avoid using straws to prevent dry socket
Keep the area clean and follow all aftercare instructions

If you experience prolonged discomfort or have any concerns, our team is always here to help!

Restoring Your Smile After an Extraction

After a tooth extraction, we may recommend several options to restore your smile’s function and appearance. These include dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures.

Dental implants are a permanent solution that replaces the missing tooth root, providing a strong foundation for a replacement tooth.
Bridges fill the gap left by a missing tooth by anchoring a replacement tooth to the adjacent natural teeth.
Partial dentures are removable appliances that replace multiple missing teeth and are typically held in place by clasps that attach to existing teeth.

We’ll discuss the best options for you and help you plan the next steps toward a complete, healthy smile.
