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.
Most extractions are done comfortably under local anesthesia alone, though sedation is offered when the case is more complex. 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.
No separate referral needed for more complex surgical extractions in most cases.
Nitrous oxide or oral sedation is available for patients nervous about the procedure.
Urgent extractions are prioritized rather than scheduled weeks out.
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.
