What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. There are two types:

  • Simple extractions – performed on visible, fully erupted teeth using gentle tools.
  • Surgical extractions – required for impacted, broken, or difficult-to-reach teeth and may involve small incisions in the gum.

When Is Tooth Extraction Recommended?

Tooth extraction may be necessary when:

  • A tooth is severely decayed or infected
  • Gum disease has caused loosening or damage
  • Teeth are overcrowded and blocking alignment
  • A tooth is fractured beyond repair
  • Wisdom teeth are impacted or painful

We evaluate all options first and only recommend extraction when absolutely necessary.

Aftercare and Recovery

After your extraction, we’ll provide detailed instructions to promote fast healing and minimize discomfort. This includes:

  • How to manage swelling or tenderness
  • What to eat and avoid
  • When to resume brushing near the area
  • How to identify any signs of complications

Most patients heal within a few days and return to normal activities quickly with proper care.
