Extraction is usually the last resort, recommended only after a crown, root canal, or other fix has been ruled out. An intact, accessible tooth is a simple extraction; a broken or impacted one requires surgical technique.
Local anesthesia numbs the area fully before extraction, with sedation available for anxious patients or more involved cases. Aftercare focuses on protecting that healing clot, the single most common source of post-extraction complications.
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 later, a bone graft placed at the time of extraction can preserve the socket's shape for that procedure.
Whether straightforward or impacted, the same practice typically handles either case. One office, one set of X-rays, one treatment plan, regardless of complexity.
Nitrous oxide or oral sedation is available for patients nervous about the procedure. Providers will walk through the sedation choices rather than defaulting to the same one for everyone.
A tooth causing acute pain can often be removed the day it's diagnosed. Pain and infection risk are what move a case up the queue, not how long you've been a patient.
Specific instructions protect the healing socket from the most common post-extraction problem. You leave with written instructions, not just a verbal rundown you might forget by the time you're home.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
For teeth fully visible above the gumline, removed with local anesthesia routinely.
For teeth broken at the gumline or not fully erupted, requiring a small incision.
Addresses teeth beyond restorative repair, with replacement options discussed alongside.
Removes teeth that have lost too much bone support to remain functional.
Removes specific teeth to create space needed before braces or aligners.
Bone graft material placed in the socket preserves jaw volume for a later implant.
