REMOVE WITH CARE
What tooth extraction does
Tooth extraction is used when a tooth cannot be predictably restored or is creating problems for surrounding teeth, gums, or bite health. It can also include wisdom tooth removal when third molars are impacted, painful, or affecting nearby structures.
Standard Extractions
Used when a tooth is damaged, infected, or no longer viable, with the goal of resolving the issue while preserving the health of the surrounding area.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Included when third molars are impacted, misaligned, difficult to clean, or creating pain, swelling, crowding, or pressure against neighboring teeth.

STEP BY STEP
What to expect during treatment
Extractions vary in complexity. Some are straightforward, while others, especially wisdom teeth, may require more detailed planning based on imaging, position, and access.
1. Examination & imaging
The dentist evaluates the tooth, surrounding structures, and overall difficulty of the case, often with imaging to confirm position and root anatomy.
2. Comfort & preparation
Local anesthesia is used, and the area is prepared carefully so the extraction can be completed as smoothly and comfortably as possible.
3. Tooth removal
The tooth is removed using the appropriate technique. In wisdom tooth cases, the approach may vary depending on impaction and access.
4. Aftercare & healing guidance
You receive instructions to help protect the site, reduce complications, and support a more predictable recovery.
