Extractions
Sometimes a tooth is too damaged or infected to save. When that's the case, a gentle extraction relieves pain and protects the rest of your mouth — with clear aftercare every step.
What it is
An extraction is the careful removal of a tooth that can't be restored. It's recommended only when other options aren't possible — for example, with severe decay, advanced gum disease, or a badly broken tooth.
We'll always talk through your options first, and if a tooth does need to come out, we'll explain what to expect and how to heal comfortably.
What to expect
- 1
Thorough numbing
We numb the area completely so the procedure is comfortable. You'll feel pressure, but not pain.
- 2
A gentle removal
We work carefully and efficiently to remove the tooth while protecting the surrounding area.
- 3
Clear aftercare
You'll leave with simple, written instructions for a smooth, comfortable recovery — and our number if you have questions.
Your comfort comes first
We understand an extraction can feel daunting. We'll take our time, keep you numb and comfortable, and make sure you know exactly how to care for the area as it heals.
Common questions
Will an extraction hurt?
The area is fully numbed, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure — only gentle pressure. We'll give you clear aftercare advice to keep you comfortable as you heal.
What happens after a tooth is removed?
We'll discuss options to replace the tooth if needed, and give you simple aftercare instructions. Most patients heal comfortably within a few days by following them.
