Tooth Extractions

  • A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. While preserving natural teeth is always our priority at Sparkle Dental, sometimes an extraction is necessary to protect your oral health.

    We perform simple and surgical extractions with a focus on comfort, safety, and fast recovery.

  • You might need a tooth removed if you have:

    • Severe decay or damage beyond repair

    • Advanced gum disease

    • A broken tooth below the gum line

    • Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment

    • Impacted wisdom teeth

    • Infected or abscessed teeth not responding to treatment

    1. Evaluation & X-Rays – We assess the tooth and surrounding area to determine the best extraction method.

    2. Local Anesthesia – The area is thoroughly numbed to ensure a pain-free experience.

    3. Extraction – We gently remove the tooth using minimally invasive techniques.

      • Simple extraction: For visible teeth.

      • Surgical extraction: For broken, impacted, or unerupted teeth.

    4. Aftercare – We provide detailed post-op instructions to help you heal quickly and comfortably.

    Sedation options are available for anxious patients.

    • Some swelling or mild discomfort is normal

    • Follow all care instructions to reduce the risk of dry socket

    • Healing typically takes 7–10 days, depending on the case

    • Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours

    We’ll also discuss tooth replacement options (like implants or bridges) if the extracted tooth affects chewing or aesthetics.

  • Q: Is tooth extraction painful?
    A: No — we use strong local anesthesia to keep the procedure comfortable. We also offer sedation if needed.

    Q: How long is recovery?
    A: Most people feel better in a few days, with complete healing over 1–2 weeks.

    Q: Can I drive myself home after the procedure?
    A: If you receive only local anesthesia, yes. If you opt for sedation, someone will need to drive you home.

    Q: What are the alternatives to extraction?
    A: We always try to save the tooth first with treatments like root canals or crowns when appropriate.
