Tooth Extractions in Bethany, OK

When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?

We may recommend a tooth extraction when:

• A tooth is severely decayed or infected
  
• You have a cracked or broken tooth beyond repair
  
• Advanced gum disease has loosened the tooth
  
• A wisdom tooth is impacted or problematic
  
• A tooth is blocking orthodontic or implant treatment
  
• There is overcrowding in the mouth
  

Our team will explain all your options and only recommend extraction when it’s truly in your best interest.

Simple vs. Surgical Extractions

Simple Extractions

Used when a tooth is visible above the gum line. We gently loosen the tooth and remove it with minimal trauma to surrounding tissue.

Surgical Extractions

Required when the tooth is impacted, broken below the gum line, or otherwise inaccessible. This involves a small incision and, sometimes, sectioning of the tooth for easier removal.

We also offer wisdom tooth removal for impacted or painful third molars.

What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction

1. Exam & X-rays
   We assess the tooth and surrounding area to plan your procedure safely.
   
2. Numbing & Sedation
   Local anesthetic is used to ensure you feel no pain. Sedation options are available for anxious patients.
   
3. Tooth Removal
   The tooth is gently removed. In surgical cases, dissolvable stitches may be used.
   
4. Aftercare Instructions
   You’ll receive clear guidance for healing and comfort. We’re always here if questions arise post-visit.
   

If you're considering an implant, we may also perform socket preservation during your extraction to maintain bone structure.

What Comes After an Extraction?

After your mouth heals, we’ll help you restore the missing tooth with solutions like:

• Dental implants
  
• Bridges or partials
  
• Bone grafting, if needed for implant support
  

We’ll create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your smile goals and health needs.
