A tooth that can’t be saved, handled gently.
We make removing a tooth as comfortable as possible and help you plan what comes next, so a missing tooth doesn’t stay a gap. Most PPO plans accepted.
When does a tooth need to be extracted?
Extraction is the last step we reach for, not the first. Whenever a tooth can be saved, we try, often with a filling, a crown or a root canal.
Only an exam and X-ray can tell for sure. If there’s a realistic way to keep your tooth, we’ll tell you. If not, we’ll explain why and make the extraction straightforward.
Common reasons
- Severe decay or infection Too damaged to restore
- Cracked below the gumline Not enough structure to rebuild
- Advanced gum disease Tooth loosened from the bone
- Crowding Sometimes part of orthodontic treatment
The extraction process
Book your visit
Book online or call (702) 363-0444. Tell us if the tooth is painful or swollen and we’ll do our best to see you the same day.
Exam and plan
We examine the tooth, take an X-ray, confirm whether it can be saved, verify your PPO benefits, and give you the full cost in writing.
Gentle removal
We numb the area completely, then remove the tooth. A tooth broken at the gumline or partly covered may need a surgical extraction.
Aftercare
You leave with written aftercare and a number to call. Stick to soft foods, avoid straws and smoking, and call us if pain gets worse after a few days.
What are my options to replace the tooth?
Replacing a missing tooth keeps your bite working and stops neighboring teeth from drifting into the gap.
How much does a tooth extraction cost?
Your cost depends on the tooth and how involved the removal is. Impacted teeth, like most wisdom teeth, involve more; see wisdom teeth removal.
Most PPO plans cover a portion of an extraction. We verify your benefits first and give you your cost in writing. For larger cases, we offer flexible payment options like Cherry and CareCredit.
