Tooth Extractions
We always do everything we can to save a natural tooth—but sometimes, the healthiest option is to remove one. Whether it’s due to advanced decay, infection, injury, or overcrowding, tooth extractions can help protect your overall oral health and set the stage for future restoration.
At O’Shea Family Dental, we make the process as simple, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. From the moment you walk in, you’ll know you’re in good hands.
When is an Extraction Needed?
Tooth removal is typically recommended when:
- A tooth is severely decayed or damaged beyond repair
- Gum disease has loosened the tooth
- There is an infection that can’t be resolved with a root canal
- A baby tooth is preventing a permanent tooth from erupting
- Overcrowding needs to be addressed before orthodontic treatment
- A wisdom tooth is impacted or causes problems
We’ll always explain your options clearly and only recommend extraction if it’s truly the best path forward for your health.
What to Expect During Your Extraction
Tooth extractions are one of the most common dental procedures, and we strive to perform them with skill and care. Here’s what you can expect:
- Evaluation and Imaging: We’ll take X-rays and assess the tooth and surrounding area to create a plan.
- Numbing and Comfort: The area is completely numbed with local anesthetic to ensure a painless procedure. Sedation options may be available if needed.
- Extraction: The tooth is gently loosened and removed. Most extractions are quick and straightforward.
- Aftercare Instructions: You’ll leave with clear instructions on how to care for the area, manage discomfort, and promote proper healing.
What Comes Next?
If you’re having a tooth removed, we’ll talk with you about your replacement options, including dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures. Our goal is to keep your smile complete and your bite functional long-term.
