The basics

What is a tooth extraction?

An extraction removes a tooth that can’t be saved — due to severe decay, a fracture, advanced gum disease, or crowding.

We numb the area thoroughly, with sedation available for anxious patients, and remove the tooth as gently as possible, then guide you through aftercare.

When a tooth is removed, we’ll discuss replacement options like an implant, bridge, or denture so your smile and bite stay healthy.

Good to know

Frequently asked

Does a tooth extraction hurt?

The area is fully numbed, and sedation is available. You may feel pressure during and some soreness afterward, which we help you manage.

How long is recovery?

Most people feel better within a few days. We’ll give you clear aftercare instructions to heal smoothly.

Should I replace an extracted tooth?

Usually yes — replacing it keeps your bite healthy and prevents other teeth from shifting. We’ll review implant, bridge, and denture options.
