Suspect you need a tooth extraction? Please call us immediately at (972) 542-4141. If you’re in pain, we’ll do our best to offer you a same-day emergency appointment. If you’ve consulted with another dentist about your tooth, we can offer a complimentary second opinion.
Don’t Wait Too Long To Replace Your Missing Tooth
Right after your extraction, you probably won’t be thinking about much more than your immediate recovery. We encourage you not to wait too long to discuss tooth replacement with us. Without a tooth root to provide stimulation, the bone in your jaw will begin to deteriorate. Additionally, surrounding teeth can shift out of place, leading to various dental problems.
To replace a single tooth, you can choose:
- A Dental Implant With A Dental Crown – With a dental implant, your jaw won’t shrink because the implant stimulates it when you chew. It will also give you the feel and function that is closest to a natural tooth.
- A Dental Bridge – If an implant isn’t for you, our team can attach a dental bridge to the teeth on either side of your extraction site.
If you’ve lost multiple teeth, we can attach a bridge or dentures to implants, or you can choose full conventional dentures or partials.

Common Questions About Tooth Removal/ Extractions
When is tooth removal necessary?
It’s generally best to keep a tooth in place for as long as possible. If a tooth is too severely infected or damaged to be saved with a restorative procedure, such as a root canal or crown, we will recommend removal. Occasionally, teeth must be removed to get dentures or other restorations. We may also recommend extraction before orthodontic therapy.
Are tooth extractions painful?
We take pride in providing pleasant extractions. We describe what will happen and address all your inquiries prior to your treatment, so there are no surprises. We numb your mouth with local anesthetic, and if you want, you can also relax with dental sedation: laughing gas, oral sedation, or IV sedation.
What happens after a tooth extraction?
We’ll place gauze on the socket and send you home with additional gauze to help stop the bleeding. We’ll offer a prescription for pain medication if needed. We’ll also provide you with guidelines on how to care for your extraction site. Generally, you’ll want to limit your activity level for a couple of days.
