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. Following the socket-care instructions closely for the first few days is what prevents the most common post-extraction complication.
Not every extraction needs a replacement right away, but a gap left too long can let neighboring teeth drift and complicate future treatment. Socket preservation at the time of extraction is a small step now that keeps more options open later.
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.
Urgent extractions are prioritized rather than scheduled weeks out.
You leave with specific instructions on diet, rinsing, and activity to protect the healing socket.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
For teeth fully visible above the gumline, removed with local anesthesia in a routine visit.
