Extraction is usually the last option considered, recommended only after a dentist has ruled out a crown, root canal, or other restorative fix. Simple extractions handle teeth fully visible above the gumline, while surgical extractions are needed when a tooth is broken at the gumline or hasn't fully erupted.
Local anesthesia numbs the area completely before any extraction begins, with sedation options available for anxious patients or more involved surgical cases. Aftercare instructions focus on protecting the blood clot that forms in the socket, since disturbing it can lead to a painful complication called 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. If an implant is planned down the line, a bone graft placed at the time of extraction can preserve the socket's shape for that later procedure.
Whether the tooth is straightforward or impacted, the same office can typically manage either case.
Comfort options beyond local anesthesia are offered for patients who need them.
A tooth causing acute pain or infection can often be removed the same day it's diagnosed.
Detailed aftercare guidance reduces the risk of dry socket and speeds healing.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist you reach through us has handled it before.
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.
Removes teeth that have lost too much bone support from periodontal disease to remain functional.
Removes specific teeth to create space needed before braces or aligner treatment begins.
Bone graft material placed in the socket preserves jawbone volume for a future implant.

We match you with a nearby specialist experienced in this exact procedure and check real-time openings.
The specialist examines your case, often with same-visit X-rays, and gives you a cost estimate before starting anything.
Treatment proceeds on the agreed plan, with clear aftercare instructions and a follow-up if the case calls for one.
"They walked me through the cost and the procedure before I agreed to anything. Appreciated that."
"Didn't have to wait weeks like my old dentist. Straight to a specialist who knew exactly what to do."
"Price they quoted on the phone matched the invoice exactly. No surprise charges."
Local anesthesia numbs the area fully before extraction, so the procedure itself shouldn't hurt.
Simple extractions typically heal within a week; surgical extractions may take a bit longer.
Dry socket happens when the healing blood clot dislodges too early — avoiding straws and smoking helps prevent it.
Replacement depends on the tooth's location and your bite; some gaps matter more functionally than others.
If the tooth is actively causing problems, same-day extraction is typically prioritized.
Cost depends on whether it's a simple or surgical extraction, confirmed for you before the visit.
