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. 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.
Whether straightforward or impacted, the same practice typically handles either case. 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. Providers will walk through the sedation choices rather than defaulting to the same one for everyone.
A tooth causing acute pain can often be removed the day it's diagnosed. A same-day slot is checked as soon as urgency is established on the call.
Specific instructions protect the healing socket from the most common post-extraction problem. 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.
