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.
Most extractions are done comfortably under local anesthesia alone, with sedation offered when needed. Following aftercare instructions closely protects the blood clot that forms in the socket, since disturbing it risks dry socket.
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. That saves a second consultation and a second round of imaging in most cases.
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. Follow-up contact is available if something about recovery doesn't feel right.
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.
Removes a tooth too decayed for a filling or crown, stopping decay from spreading further.
Removes teeth that have lost too much bone support to remain functional.
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.
