Tooth Extractions

Gentle, comfortable tooth extractions when a tooth cannot be saved — with a clear plan for replacement.

While we always strive to save natural teeth whenever possible, sometimes a tooth extraction is the best option for your overall oral health. Reasons for extraction include severe decay that cannot be restored, advanced gum disease, a cracked tooth that cannot be repaired, overcrowding, or preparation for orthodontic treatment.

At Grandville Dental Health Center, we perform extractions with a gentle technique and ensure your complete comfort throughout the procedure. We also discuss tooth replacement options so you have a clear plan for restoring your smile.

What to Expect

The Process

1

Evaluation & X-Rays

We evaluate the tooth and take X-rays to assess the root structure and surrounding bone before proceeding.

2

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia is administered to ensure you feel no pain during the extraction.

3

Extraction

Using specialized instruments, we gently loosen and remove the tooth. For surgical extractions (impacted teeth), a small incision may be needed.

4

Post-Extraction Care

We provide detailed instructions for caring for the extraction site and managing any discomfort.

5

Replacement Planning

We discuss your options for replacing the extracted tooth — including implants, bridges, or partial dentures.

Is This Right for Me?

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Extractions are recommended when a tooth cannot be saved through other means — due to severe decay, advanced gum disease, a non-restorable fracture, or for orthodontic purposes. We always explore all options to save the tooth before recommending extraction.
