Tooth Extraction
in Flint, MI
Accepting New Patients of All Ages
Are you dealing with severe tooth decay, impacted teeth, gum disease, alignment issues, or even dental trauma? When a tooth cannot be repaired using a crown or filling, a tooth extraction might be necessary to protect your oral health. At New You Dental Center in Flint, MI, we understand that the thought of an extraction can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible. Our team specializes in gentle, pain-free extractions using the latest techniques, and most of our patients leave feeling relieved—often surprised by how painless the experience really is. Our goal is to help you heal quickly and get back to your daily routine without the discomfort you might expect from dental surgery.
When You Need to Extract a Tooth
Tooth extraction may become necessary when a tooth threatens your oral health due to severe decay, irreparable damage, risk of infection, or overcrowding. Removing such a tooth can alleviate pain, prevent the spread of infection, and create space for proper alignment of your remaining teeth—especially important if you’re considering orthodontic treatments.
Dentists also often recommend removing wisdom teeth before the roots are fully developed to make the procedure less invasive and promote a smoother recovery. These teeth typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties, and often there’s insufficient room in the jaw to accommodate them. When wisdom teeth lack the necessary space, they can become impacted—trapped beneath the gum tissue—or grow in misaligned. This can lead to a range of issues that make removal necessary.
A dental evaluation will determine whether extraction is right for you.
To determine if a tooth extraction is necessary, assess the condition of your tooth, and recommend the best treatment, our dentist will:
- Review your medical history
- Perform an oral examination to check for signs of decay or infection
- Evaluate the tooth’s structure
- Take dental X-rays
Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
Persistent tooth pain that doesn't go away
Pus or discharge near a tooth
Swelling or tenderness in your gums
Chronic bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth
What Happens During a Tooth Extraction?
Before anything, we start with a thorough consultation to get a clear picture of your situation. We’ll take X-rays to see exactly how your tooth is positioned and figure out the best way to approach the extraction. If it’s a simple extraction, it’s a quick and straightforward process: we gently loosen the tooth and remove it using specialized tools. However, if your tooth is impacted or broken beneath the gumline, a surgical extraction may be necessary. In that case, we’ll carefully make a small incision to access and remove the tooth. Don’t worry—local anesthesia ensures you won’t feel any pain, and if the procedure is more complex, we can discuss sedation options to keep you relaxed and comfortable.
Aftercare and Recovery
Taking care of your extraction site is key to a smooth recovery. We’ll give you clear, step-by-step instructions on how to manage any discomfort or swelling, and how to keep the area clean. It’s important to follow these closely to avoid complications like dry socket, which can slow down healing. Most people heal within one to two weeks, but we’ll provide specific guidance based on your individual situation to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible. We’re here to support you through the recovery process and are always available if you have questions or concerns.
Cost and Insurance
At New You Dental Center, we are committed to ensuring that you fully understand the costs associated with your treatment. Our team will assist you in navigating your insurance coverage, filing claims, and exploring other financing options to make your care as accessible as possible. For your convenience, we work with most dental insurance providers and offer flexible payment options, including CareCredit financing, to make quality dental care accessible. New You Dental Centers also offers discounts for patients who have lost, are losing, or have no insurance at all. Call us for more information or visit this page:

What Our Patients Are Saying
I was so nervous about my tooth extraction but I was seen immediately the next morning after being prescribed antibiotics. I had 2 other dentists try to remove this problem tooth and Dr. Moradi got it out in less than an hour. Didn't feel a thing. I highly recommend 👌🏾
I was put at ease immediately. I appreciated that the plan of care was clearly explained. I had two stubborn extractions. I highly recommend Dr. Moradi.
I had an extraction done here today and I was extremely nervous the entire time, but the staff remaining calm and reassuring me made it a tolerable experience. Thank you so much to the 3 ladies in there that made me feel comfortable during such a scary thing for me! I will be recommending New You Dental Center to anyone I know seeking dental care. Thanks again 💖
Had several extractions done today! I was treated with kindness and respect. Both the dentist and dental assistants were kind and caring. I’m very pleased with the services given. Under the circumstances of the extractions, everything went smoothly, and I’m happy with the outcome.
Went to have a tooth extracted. I was a little apprehensive at first, but Karma made me feel totally comfortable and assured me I was in good hands. The tooth was out before I even knew it. I recommend their services—they even filled a couple of other teeth, and I didn’t feel a thing. Thank you!
Awesome visit and pain-free extraction. I had a broken wisdom tooth, and my anxiety was through the roof, but thankfully the dentist was able to extract it absolutely pain-free. 10/10, I would definitely recommend!
