What Is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that can no longer be preserved or that may compromise your oral or overall health. While general dentists may perform some extractions, oral surgeons are uniquely trained to manage complex cases involving infection, impacted teeth, nerve proximity, or bone preservation.
Reasons You May Need a Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction may be recommended for a variety of clinical reasons, including:
- Severe tooth decay that cannot be restored
- Dental infections or abscesses
- Advanced gum disease
- Broken teeth below the gum line
- Impacted or partially erupted teeth
- Orthodontic treatment preparation
- Failed root canal therapy
- Jaw or bite-related issues
Our surgeons evaluate every case carefully and prioritize tooth preservation whenever possible.
Types of Tooth Extractions We Perform
Simple Tooth Extractions
Performed when the tooth is fully visible above the gum line. These are typically straightforward procedures with minimal recovery time.
Surgical Tooth Extractions
Required when a tooth is impacted, broken, or beneath the gum surface. Surgical extractions are performed in a controlled surgical setting to minimize trauma and promote optimal healing.
Anesthesia Options
We offer a spectrum of anesthesia options to meet the needs of every patient — from minor procedures to complex surgeries.
Tooth Extraction Recovery & Aftercare
Following your procedure, you’ll receive detailed post-operative instructions. Most patients experience:
- Mild swelling and soreness for several days
- Gradual return to normal activities
- Reduced discomfort with proper care and medication
Our team remains available throughout your recovery to answer questions and monitor healing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Extraction
No. With modern anesthesia and sedation, patients are comfortable during the procedure and typically experience only mild discomfort afterward.
Initial healing usually occurs within 7–10 days, with full bone healing taking longer depending on the procedure.
If the tooth is impacted, infected, broken below the gum line, or near nerves or sinuses, an oral surgeon is recommended.
