Why Remove Problematic Teeth?
Understanding when teeth removal is necessary for your oral health and comfort.
When Extraction is Recommended
Extraction is recommended when teeth are:
- Causing pain or pressure
- Trapping food and bacteria
- Contributing to gum disease or tooth decay
- Unsalvageable fracture or decay
- Associated with cyst formation
Removing problematic teeth prevents pain, infection and long-term damage to your smile. Early intervention often leads to easier extraction and faster recovery.

Recovery Timeline
While full recovery takes about one to two weeks, most people return to work or school within three to five days with proper care.
The Procedure & Sedation Options
What to expect during your teeth extraction appointment.
Before the extraction, we evaluate your teeth with digital X-rays and discuss your sedation options. Our goal is to ensure your complete comfort throughout the procedure.
Pre-Procedure
Digital X-rays and comprehensive evaluation to plan the safest extraction approach.
Sedation Options
Local anesthetic, nitrous oxide, or oral conscious sedation based on your comfort needs.
Extraction
Gentle removal with stitches placed. Most procedures take less than an hour.
Recovery
Rest until comfortable, then go home with detailed aftercare instructions.
Comfort-First Approach
On the day of the procedure we numb the area completely and can provide nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation if you prefer. The tooth is gently removed, and stitches will be placed to aid healing. You'll be able to go home once you're comfortable.
Recovery Tips & Aftercare
Following proper aftercare guidelines ensures comfortable healing and prevents complications.
After surgery you'll rest while the anesthetic wears off. Following our detailed aftercare instructions is crucial for proper healing and comfort.
First 24 Hours
- Keep gauze over extraction site for first 30 minutes
- Avoid rinsing, spitting or using straws

First Week

Important: Prevent Dry Socket
Don't dislodge the blood clot by avoiding rinsing, spitting, or using straws. Following these guidelines reduces the risk of dry socket and promotes comfortable healing.
