Extraction is usually the last resort, recommended only after a crown, root canal, or other fix has been ruled out. A tooth fully visible above the gum is typically a simple extraction; one fractured or unerupted needs a surgical approach.
Most extractions are done comfortably under local anesthesia alone, with sedation offered when needed. Aftercare focuses on protecting that healing clot, the single most common source of post-extraction complications.
Not every extraction needs a replacement right away, but a gap left too long can let neighboring teeth drift and complicate future treatment. If an implant is planned later, a bone graft placed at the time of extraction can preserve the socket's shape for that procedure.
No separate referral needed for most surgical extractions. 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. Which option makes sense depends on your anxiety level and the complexity of the extraction.
Urgent extractions get prioritized rather than scheduled weeks out. Pain and infection risk are what move a case up the queue, not how long you've been a patient.
Detailed guidance on diet and activity reduces complication risk and speeds healing. You leave with written instructions, not just a verbal rundown you might forget by the time you're home.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
The most common extraction type, typically with straightforward recovery.
