About the Service
When Is a Tooth Extraction the Right Call?
A simple extraction removes a tooth that's fully visible above the gumline, usually completed in minutes under local anesthesia. A surgical extraction — for impacted teeth, broken teeth, or complex root anatomy — involves a small incision, with sedation available and recommended.
Many extraction patients at Tänder are preparing for implants, All on X, or orthodontic treatment. When extractions are part of a broader plan, we coordinate timing and, when appropriate, perform socket preservation to protect bone for future implants.
Candidacy
Am I a Candidate?
- A tooth is severely decayed and cannot be restored
- A tooth is broken off at or below the gumline
- A tooth is causing a recurring or spreading infection
- A wisdom tooth is impacted or crowding neighboring teeth
- Teeth need to be cleared before All on X or full-arch implant surgery

Swelling and discomfort decrease significantly. Most patients return to normal activity within two to four days.
Week 2+
