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.
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.
No separate referral needed for more complex surgical extractions in most cases.
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.
