When Is Tooth Extraction Needed?
Tooth extraction may be recommended if you have a severely decayed, broken, or infected tooth that can’t be restored, or if you’re preparing for orthodontic treatment or dentures.
It’s also common in cases of advanced gum disease, overcrowding, or problematic wisdom teeth. If you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or sensitivity, we’ll evaluate your condition and help you understand whether removal is the best next step. Your comfort and long-term health are always our priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your path to a healthier smile starts with clarity. Find the answers you need to move forward with confidence.
Do I really need a tooth extraction?
We'll only recommend extraction if a tooth can't be saved or if it poses a risk to your oral health. Our goal is always to explore every option first and only remove a tooth when necessary.
Does getting a tooth pulled hurt?
Not at all. We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to keep you completely comfortable. Most patients feel pressure, not pain.
What happens after a tooth is extracted?
We’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions to manage healing and prevent complications. Depending on the situation, we may also discuss options to replace the missing tooth.
Will I need to take time off after the procedure?
Most patients return to work or school the next day, though we recommend taking it easy for at least 24 hours to allow proper healing.
Can I replace an extracted tooth?
Yes. We offer dental implants, bridges, and partial dentures to restore your smile and function after healing. We’ll help you choose the best option for your needs.
