Tooth extractions

When a tooth can’t be saved, we remove it gently — and talk through what replaces it before you decide.

01Signs

Does a tooth need to come out?

Call us today

Don’t wait

  • Swelling and pain around a wisdom tooth
  • Pain with a fever
  • A broken tooth that hurts
  • (Swelling spreading to the eye or neck: go to the ER)

Book an exam

Have it checked

  • A wisdom tooth pressing or coming in crooked
  • A loose adult tooth
  • A tooth broken below the gumline

Often it can be saved

Ask about the alternatives

  • A deep cavity — often a root canal and a crown
  • A cracked crown or filling
  • A tooth loosened by early gum disease

02How it goes

Before, during and after

  1. Before

    Planning

    An X-ray — and a 3D scan if a wisdom tooth sits near the nerve.

  2. 20–40 min

    The extraction

    Numbed first; you feel pressure, not pain.

  3. First 24 h

    Rest and gauze

    No straws, smoking or hard rinsing, so the socket heals.

  4. Next day

    We call you

    To check how you feel; most people are back to normal within a few days.

$150–$400 simple extractionMany PPO plans cover part of this treatment.

03Is it for you

When removing a tooth is the best option

  • A tooth broken below the gumline or too damaged to repair
  • Advanced gum disease with a loose tooth
  • Crowding before orthodontic treatment
  • A wisdom tooth causing problems

We always tell you whether the tooth could be saved and what that would involve.

04How we work

Our clinical standards

The details that make a difference to how this treatment is done — and why we do them.

  • 3D imaging for wisdom teeth near a nerve

    If a lower wisdom tooth is close to the nerve on a regular X-ray, we take a small-area CBCT scan before removing it.

  • Gentle, bone-saving technique

    Teeth are loosened with fine instruments and sectioned when needed, to protect the surrounding bone and gum.

  • Planning for what comes next

    If an implant may follow, we can place a bone graft in the socket the same day to preserve the space.

  • Written aftercare and a next-day call

    You leave with written instructions, and we call you the next day to see how you are.

07Cost and insurance

What it costs

$150–$400 simple extraction

Typical range in the US without insurance (2026 consumer cost guides). Your own estimate comes after the exam, in writing, before anything is done.

A surgical extraction, for example a wisdom tooth below the gum, costs more. Some complex cases are referred to an oral surgeon.
