Extraction is usually the last resort, recommended only after a crown, root canal, or other fix has been ruled out. A tooth fully visible above the gum is typically a simple extraction; one fractured or unerupted needs a surgical approach.
Local anesthesia numbs the area fully before extraction, with sedation available for anxious patients or more involved cases. Following aftercare instructions closely protects the blood clot that forms in the socket, since disturbing it risks 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 most surgical extractions. One office, one set of X-rays, one treatment plan, regardless of complexity.
Comfort options beyond local anesthesia exist for those who need them. Providers will walk through the sedation choices rather than defaulting to the same one for everyone.
Urgent extractions get prioritized rather than scheduled weeks out. A same-day slot is checked as soon as urgency is established on the call.
Specific instructions protect the healing socket from the most common post-extraction problem. You leave with written instructions, not just a verbal rundown you might forget by the time you're home.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
For teeth fully visible above the gumline, removed with local anesthesia routinely.
For teeth broken at the gumline or not fully erupted, requiring a small incision.

Removes teeth that have lost too much bone support to remain functional.
A planning step some orthodontic cases require before alignment can proceed.
