What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is the careful removal of a tooth from its socket, performed when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or crowded to be saved or treated effectively with other restorative options. Our dentists use precise techniques and proper anesthesia to ensure the procedure is as comfortable and efficient as possible.

At Westgrove Dental Care, Dr. Brandon Skenandore and Dr. Iris Skenandore approach every extraction with a conservative mindset — removing only what is necessary and always discussing your options before moving forward.

Benefits of Tooth Extraction

When a tooth is causing problems that cannot be resolved through other treatments, removing it is often the most important step toward better oral health.

Eliminates Pain

Removing a severely damaged or infected tooth provides immediate, lasting relief from chronic discomfort.

Stops Infection Spread

Extracting an abscessed or infected tooth prevents bacteria from spreading to surrounding teeth, bone, and tissue.

Creates Room

Removing a crowded or impacted tooth gives neighboring teeth the space they need to function and align properly.

Foundation for Restoration

Extraction is often the first step toward replacing a failing tooth with a longer-lasting solution, such as a dental implant.

Our Tooth Extraction Process

Here’s what you can expect when you come in for a tooth extraction at Westgrove Dental Care.

Arrival & Preparation

Our team will review your X-rays, confirm your treatment plan, and ensure you are fully comfortable before we begin.

Gentle Anesthesia

Our dentists will thoroughly numb the area so you feel pressure — but not pain — throughout the procedure.

Careful Extraction

The tooth is carefully loosened and gently removed from the socket using a precise, controlled technique.

Aftercare Support

We’ll send you home with clear recovery guidelines and follow up to make sure you’re healing well.

Signs You May Need a Tooth Extraction

It may be time to schedule an evaluation if you’re experiencing any of the following.

Severe Decay

A cavity that has progressed too deeply to be repaired with a filling or crown may require removal.

Advanced Gum Disease

Significant bone and tissue loss around a tooth can compromise its stability beyond what treatment can restore.

Teeth Crowding

Extra or overlapping teeth that are preventing proper alignment may need to be removed before orthodontic treatment.

Tooth Impaction

A tooth that has failed to fully emerge from the gumline can cause pressure, pain, and risk of infection.

Broken Below Gums

A tooth that has fractured at or beneath the gumline often cannot be salvaged with conventional restorative care.

Persistent Abscess

A recurring or unresolved infection that has not responded to other treatments may require extraction to fully resolve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a tooth extraction hurt?

Our dentists take every measure to ensure you are thoroughly numb and at ease before beginning. Nitrous oxide sedation is also available for patients who feel anxious, making the entire experience far more manageable than many expect.

How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?

Most patients feel significantly better within a few days, with complete soft tissue healing typically occurring within one to two weeks. Our dentists will provide detailed aftercare instructions and are always available to address any concerns.

How much does a tooth extraction cost?

The cost varies depending on the complexity of the extraction and whether sedation is involved, and our team will always review all fees with you before any treatment begins.

Does dental insurance cover tooth extractions?

Many PPO dental insurance plans cover a portion of tooth extraction costs, particularly for medically necessary procedures. Westgrove Dental Care is in-network with most major PPO providers, and our team will help clarify your coverage and out-of-pocket responsibility ahead of your appointment.
