No matter what type of procedure we're doing, including extracting a tooth, you'll feel totally at ease. Rest assured, removing a tooth is never a first option.

If you think you might need a tooth extraction, we offer emergency appointments. We can usually get you in the same day you call.
Opt for Soothing Sedation
When a tooth removal is the only option, we offer you three forms of sedation so you can relax during your procedure:
- Inhaled Sedation - Laughing gas will relax your entire body and perhaps make your arms and legs feel a bit tingly.
- Oral Conscious Sedation - Just take a prescribed pill beforehand and the idea of dental work won't bother you at all.
- IV Conscious Sedation - You'll lie back peacefully and completely relaxed while we remove your problem tooth.
Over the years, our dental practice has performed countless tooth removals. However, we'll always try to save your damaged or diseased tooth if possible. We may recommend restorative services, such as a filling, crown, or root canal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Removal
How long does it take a tooth removal to heal?
In most cases, you can expect your extraction site to heal fully within approximately seven to 10 days. Your healing will depend partly on how well you follow the aftercare instructions we'll give you. If you're careful about what you eat and drink and avoid vigorous exercise for a few days, your healing will be quicker and more comfortable.
Does tooth removal hurt?
You can feel confident our experienced dental team will do all we can to make sure your tooth removal is as comfortable as possible. We'll take a set of digital X-rays to help us plan your procedure, then we'll use an anesthetic to ensure the area we're working on is fully numb. We also offer sedation, if needed, to eliminate your dental anxiety and help you relax.
When is tooth removal necessary?
We try to keep a tooth in place as long as possible. However, if a tooth is too diseased or damaged to save with a restorative procedure like a root canal or dental crown, we will suggest removal. Sometimes teeth need to be removed to make room for dentures or other restorations. We may also recommend extraction prior to orthodontic treatment.
