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?
We’ll first conduct a full consultation. X-rays allow us to see the exact position of your tooth and determine the appropriate extraction method. For simple extractions, the process is straightforward. We carefully loosen and remove the tooth using precision tools. If a tooth is impacted or broken below the gumline, a surgical extraction may be necessary. In this case, we make a small incision to access the tooth and remove it safely. We use local anesthesia to ensure you feel no pain, and sedation options are available for more complex cases.
Aftercare and Recovery
Proper aftercare is critical for a smooth recovery. We’ll provide detailed instructions on how to care for the extraction site, including how to manage discomfort, swelling, and how to clean the area. Be aware of potential issues such as dry socket, a common complication that can delay healing. Typically, the healing process takes about one to two weeks, but we’ll give you specific guidelines based on your case.
Cost and Insurance
We strive to make dental care accessible by working with most major insurance providers. We’ll discuss the costs upfront and help you understand your insurance coverage. Our team is here to guide you through the financial process and offer payment plans if needed.

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!
