Extraction is usually the last option considered, recommended only after a dentist has ruled out a crown, root canal, or other restorative fix. A tooth that's intact and accessible is typically a simple extraction; one that's fractured, impacted, or below the gum requires a surgical approach.
Most extractions are done comfortably under local anesthesia alone, though sedation is offered when the case is more complex. Following the socket-care instructions closely for the first few days is what prevents the most common post-extraction complication.
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 more complex surgical extractions in most cases.
Comfort options beyond local anesthesia are offered for patients who need them.
Urgent extractions are prioritized rather than scheduled weeks out.
You leave with specific instructions on diet, rinsing, and activity to protect the healing socket.
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 in a routine visit.
Handles more complicated cases where the tooth can't simply be lifted out whole.
Addresses teeth beyond restorative repair, often alongside a discussion of replacement options.
Often paired with a broader periodontal treatment plan for remaining teeth.
A planning step some orthodontic cases require before alignment can proceed properly.
Bone graft material placed in the socket preserves jawbone volume for a future implant.
