Having a tooth removed can:
Call our office today at 305-990-2532 to schedule an appointment. Our gentle approach and modern techniques make removing a tooth more comfortable than ever. Let us help you, just as we have many other patients.
During your visit, we will use state-of-the-art digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to get a clear picture of your teeth and jaw. These advanced equipment helps us plan your extraction with precision, ensuring the best possible outcome. Your dentist will show you exactly what we see and explain why removal might be necessary.
Your comfort is our priority. We offer sedation options to help you feel relaxed throughout the procedure. From light sedation with laughing gas to deeper sedation using medication, we’ll find the right choice for you. Plus, you’re welcome to use soft pillows and cozy blankets to help you feel at home during your treatment.
After tooth removal, replacing your missing tooth helps prevent nearby teeth from shifting and causing bite problems. Think of it like books on a shelf – when you remove one book, the others tend to lean. The same happens with your teeth, which can lead to difficulty chewing and jaw discomfort.
You’ll have several ways to restore your smile. Traditional bridges and dentures can fill the gap, while dental implants provide a more durable solution. You may choose to combine implants with bridges or dentures for added stability and a more natural feel.

When it comes to a tooth extraction, or any other type of oral surgery, each case is different. The cost will ultimately depend on which tooth needs removing as well as the overall condition of your mouth. We encourage you to come in for an exam and X-rays, so we can give you an accurate idea of the cost involved.
For most standard tooth removals, you can expect the extraction site to heal in about seven to 10 days. You can play a big role in the actual healing time, however. Following your aftercare instructions and limiting your physical exertion for a few days will help you heal faster and more comfortably.
You can feel confident our experienced dental team will do all we can to make sure your tooth removal is as comfortable as possible. We’ll take a set of digital X-rays to help us plan your procedure, then we’ll use an anesthetic to ensure the area we’re working on is fully numb. We also offer sedation options to eliminate your dental anxiety and help you relax.
