Tooth extraction care near you
When a tooth cannot be saved, careful extraction can relieve pain, stop infection, and protect your oral health.
Why might a tooth need extraction?
Our team first considers ways to preserve your natural tooth. Extraction is recommended only when it is the healthiest option.
Infection or pain
Removing a badly infected tooth may relieve pain and protect nearby teeth.
Crowding or wisdom teeth
Extractions may create space or address impacted wisdom teeth.
Emergency tooth extraction
Severe pain, swelling, trauma, or a broken tooth may require urgent evaluation. Same-day visits and walk-ins are welcome.

Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth
A damaged tooth does not always need extraction. We assess whether a filling, crown, root canal, or removal offers the safest result.
Broken tooth
Protect the area and avoid chewing on the damaged side.
Knocked-out tooth
Handle the tooth by the crown and contact the office immediately.
Tooth abscess
Swelling, fever, or a bad taste can signal infection.
Wisdom tooth removal
Impacted or painful wisdom teeth can affect nearby teeth and gums. An exam and X-ray help determine the right timing.

Your dentist reviews the exam and X-rays, numbs the area, gently removes the tooth, and provides clear recovery instructions.
