Extraction is usually the last option considered, recommended only after a dentist has ruled out a crown, root canal, or other restorative fix. Simple extractions handle teeth fully visible above the gumline, while surgical extractions are needed when a tooth is broken at the gumline or hasn't fully erupted.
Most extractions are done comfortably under local anesthesia alone, though sedation is offered when the case is more complex. Aftercare instructions focus on protecting the blood clot that forms in the socket, since disturbing it can lead to a painful complication called dry socket.
Delaying a decision on replacement isn't necessarily a problem, though your provider will flag if drift risk makes it worth doing sooner. If an implant is planned down the line, a bone graft placed at the time of extraction can preserve the socket's shape for that later procedure.
Whether the tooth is straightforward or impacted, the same office can typically manage either case.
Comfort options beyond local anesthesia are offered for patients who need them.
Urgent extractions are prioritized rather than scheduled weeks out.
You leave with specific instructions on diet, rinsing, and activity to protect the healing socket.
