Tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, broken beyond repair, infected, or needs to be removed to make room for orthodontic treatment. Wisdom teeth that are impacted or causing crowding are also commonly extracted.

We ensure you're thoroughly numb before anything begins, so the procedure itself is typically pressure-free and comfortable. Our team works efficiently and gently to minimize your time in the chair and keep you at ease throughout.

A routine extraction usually takes 20 to 45 minutes depending on the complexity. Emergency extractions are prioritized for same-day appointments to relieve your pain as quickly as possible.

After an extraction, it's important to discuss tooth replacement options such as an implant, bridge, or partial denture to prevent neighboring teeth from shifting. We'll walk you through your options and help you plan your next steps.

You can expect some swelling and soreness for a few days, which is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice. Avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, and vigorous rinsing for the first 24 to 48 hours to protect the healing socket.
