Tooth extractions and wisdom teeth

When a tooth can't be saved, or a wisdom tooth is causing problems, removing it protects the rest of your mouth. Extractions and wisdom teeth are done right here in our office, and we'll plan how to replace the tooth if needed.

Is it right for you?

  • A tooth is badly broken or decayed
  • A wisdom tooth is painful, partly erupted or causing crowding
  • Teeth need to be removed before dentures or All-on-X

What to expect

  1. Exam and x-rayWe check the tooth's roots and nearby structures.
  2. NumbingThe area is fully numbed.
  3. RemovalThe tooth is removed as gently as possible.
  4. Healing and replacementYou get aftercare instructions and, if needed, a plan to replace the tooth.

Our dentists are general dentists who provide this treatment in our office. Treatment recommendations follow an exam.

Common questions

Do you remove wisdom teeth?

Yes. Our dentists remove wisdom teeth in our office, so you stay with the team you know from exam to follow-up.

Should I replace a pulled tooth?

Usually, yes, except wisdom teeth. Gaps let nearby teeth shift. Options include implants, bridges and partials.

★★★★★

“Dr. Amy is the best dentist I've ever went to . The staff is all so nice . I hate the dentist, as some people do. It gives me so much anxiety. Dr. Amy made sure I was comfortable and talked to me the whole time . I needed a tooth pulled asap and they got me in right away.”
