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. 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.
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.
The most common extraction type, typically quick with straightforward recovery.
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.

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.
