What is this treatment?
An extraction removes a tooth from its socket.

A surgical extraction may be needed when a tooth is broken, covered by gum, or difficult to remove.

You may be wondering...
Will the extraction hurt?
The area is numbed. You may feel pressure, but you should not feel sharp pain.
Can every painful tooth be pulled?
We first diagnose the cause and explain whether the tooth can be saved.
How long does healing take?
The gum begins healing quickly, but the socket and bone continue to fill in for weeks to months.
What is dry socket?
Dry socket is strong pain that can happen when the protective blood clot is lost too early.
Do I need to replace the tooth?
Not every space is the same. We will explain how leaving the space or replacing the tooth may affect your bite and chewing.
