What Are Tooth Extractions?

What Are
Tooth Extractions?

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While preserving natural teeth is always our priority, there are times when removing a tooth is the best option to relieve pain, stop the spread of infection, or prepare for future dental work.

Our Shavano Park dentist might suggest a tooth extraction for: 

  • Severe tooth decay or infection
  • Advanced gum disease
  • Cracked or broken teeth that can’t be restored
  • Impacted wisdom teeth
  • Preparation for orthodontics

Simple vs. Complex Tooth Extractions

Tooth Extractions

Not all extractions are the same. Understanding the difference can help you feel more prepared and confident in your treatment.

Whichever type you need, our team is trained in both procedures and equipped with advanced tools to ensure efficient, safe results.

Have Questions?
We've Got Answers!

We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Most patients feel only slight pressure, not pain.

If the extracted tooth isn’t a wisdom tooth, we may recommend a restorative replacement option such as a bridge, implant, or denture to preserve your bite and prevent shifting.

Most patients recover within a few days. We’ll provide personalized aftercare instructions to support a smooth healing process.

We suggest taking the rest of the day to rest. Many patients return to normal activities the next day, depending on the type of extraction and their comfort level.
