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.
Local anesthesia numbs the area fully before extraction, with sedation available for anxious patients or more involved cases. Following aftercare instructions closely protects the blood clot that forms in the socket, since disturbing it risks dry socket.
Delaying a decision on replacement isn't necessarily a problem, though your provider will flag if drift risk makes it worth doing sooner. Socket preservation at the time of extraction is a small step now that keeps more options open later.
No separate referral needed for most surgical extractions. One office, one set of X-rays, one treatment plan, regardless of complexity.
Comfort options beyond local anesthesia exist for those who need them. Which option makes sense depends on your anxiety level and the complexity of the extraction.
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.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
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.
Often paired with a broader periodontal treatment plan for the remaining teeth.
A planning step some orthodontic cases require before alignment can proceed.
Bone graft material placed in the socket preserves jaw volume for a later implant.
