Tooth Extraction Services

Routine and surgical extraction

Some teeth can be removed simply; others are broken, impacted, heavily restored, or closely related to important anatomy. Our oral surgeons plan the approach around the tooth, surrounding bone, nearby nerves and sinuses, and your recovery.

Broken, infected, or nonrestorable teeth

Severe decay, cracks below the gumline, recurrent infection, failed root-canal treatment, or loss of supporting bone may make extraction the healthiest option. We review whether the site should heal on its own or be prepared for future replacement.

Extraction with socket preservation

When a dental implant may be planned later, bone grafting at the time of extraction can help preserve ridge width and contour. Not every extraction needs a graft; we recommend it when it meaningfully supports the restorative plan.

Multiple teeth and pre-prosthetic surgery

When several teeth need removal, treatment can be coordinated with dentures, implant-supported teeth, or other restorative care. We can also reshape irregular bone when needed to create a healthier foundation for healing and future prosthetic treatment.

When a tooth needs to come out

A tooth extraction is a surgical procedure, but the goal is broader than simply removing the tooth. We plan for safe removal, protection of surrounding structures, comfortable recovery, and what should happen next—whether that is healing without replacement, a bridge, a denture, or a future dental implant.

Why extraction planning matters

The best extraction plan depends on the reason for removal, the condition of the surrounding bone and gums, nearby nerves or sinuses, and whether the tooth will eventually be replaced. Preserving healthy tissue during surgery can make healing easier and may simplify later implant treatment. For infected teeth, we also evaluate whether drainage, antibiotics, or other treatment is needed in addition to removal.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Specialist care from removal through recovery

We explain why the tooth needs removal, your anesthesia choices, whether grafting is worthwhile, and what to expect during healing.

Specialist-led planning

Your surgeon reviews the tooth, bone, nearby anatomy, infection, and future restorative goals before choosing the safest surgical approach.

Comfort options

Depending on the procedure and your preferences, treatment may be completed with local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, IV sedation, or deeper anesthesia when appropriate.

Protect the healing site

We give clear instructions for bleeding control, swelling, diet, oral hygiene, medications, and when to call us if healing is not progressing as expected.
