Extraction is usually the last resort, recommended only after a crown, root canal, or other fix has been ruled out. An intact, accessible tooth is a simple extraction; a broken or impacted one requires surgical technique.
Most extractions are done comfortably under local anesthesia alone, with sedation offered when needed. Following aftercare instructions closely protects the blood clot that forms in the socket, since disturbing it risks 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 later, a bone graft placed at the time of extraction can preserve the socket's shape for that procedure.
Whether straightforward or impacted, the same practice typically handles either case. That saves a second consultation and a second round of imaging in most cases.
Comfort options beyond local anesthesia exist for those who need them. Which option makes sense depends on your anxiety level and the complexity of the extraction.
A tooth causing acute pain can often be removed the day it's diagnosed. Pain and infection risk are what move a case up the queue, not how long you've been a patient.
Detailed guidance on diet and activity reduces complication risk and speeds healing. Follow-up contact is available if something about recovery doesn't feel right.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
The most common extraction type, typically with straightforward recovery.
Handles more complicated cases where the tooth can't simply be lifted out whole.
Removes a tooth too decayed for a filling or crown, stopping decay from spreading further.
Often paired with a broader periodontal treatment plan for the remaining teeth.
Removes specific teeth to create space needed before braces or aligners.
Bone graft material placed in the socket preserves jaw volume for a later implant.
You describe what's going on in a minute or two; no automated menu to fight through first.

Simple extractions typically heal within a week; surgical ones may take longer.
It happens when the healing clot dislodges early; avoiding straws and smoking helps prevent it.
Not always, but leaving a gap too long can let neighboring teeth shift.
