Sometimes the best thing for your oral health is removing a tooth that's causing problems. Our team performs extractions as comfortably and efficiently as possible.

What to Know About Tooth Extractions
Cost: Extraction costs depend on the tooth's position and complexity. Contact our office for a quote based on your situation.
Treatment Duration: Simple extractions are typically quick, often completed in a single short appointment. Surgical extractions or more complicated cases may take longer.
Comfort: Local anesthesia is used for all extractions. Sedation options are also available for patients who feel anxious. We'll provide recovery instructions and stay available for follow-up questions.
After your extraction, we'll discuss replacement options including implants, bridges, or partial dentures, so your remaining teeth don't shift and your bite stays healthy.
FAQs
Will I be awake during a tooth extraction? Yes, unless sedation is requested. Local anesthesia ensures you won't feel pain, and we'll keep you informed throughout the procedure.
How long is recovery after an extraction? Most patients feel back to normal within a few days. We'll give you specific aftercare instructions and ask you to follow up if you experience any unusual swelling or pain.
What happens to the space left by the extracted tooth? We'll walk you through your replacement options at your appointment. Leaving a gap can cause neighboring teeth to drift over time, so addressing it early matters.
