What Are Tooth Extractions?

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket. While we always aim to preserve your natural teeth, some situations—such as severe decay, infection, advanced gum disease, or trauma—make extraction the best option for your overall health.

Modern tools and sedation options make extractions smoother and more comfortable than ever.

How Do Extractions Work?

We begin with digital X-rays and a thorough evaluation. If a tooth is non-restorable, Dr. Khuu will gently numb the area and perform the extraction using specialized tools that minimize trauma. For more complex cases, such as impacted teeth or multiple extractions, we may recommend sedation dentistry for added comfort.

After removal, you’ll receive post-op care instructions and, if needed, we can discuss future replacement options like dental implants or bone grafting to preserve the area for long-term function.
