Tooth Extractions
Relief and a Fresh Start
When a tooth is too damaged or infected to be saved, extraction may be the healthiest option. At Elevate Dental, we provide gentle, compassionate tooth removal focused on protecting your comfort and overall oral health. Our team guides you through every step and discusses restoration options to restore function and confidence. Gentle tooth removal when saving the tooth is no longer possible, with a plan to restore comfort and function.
Why Extractions Matter?
Last Resort, Real Relief
While preserving natural teeth is always our priority, certain cases require a precise, carefully planned tooth extraction to protect your long-term oral health. When severe decay, infection, or structural damage cannot be predictably restored, removing the compromised tooth can immediately relieve pain, prevent the spread of infection, and create a stable foundation for future restoration.
Following an extraction, replacing the missing tooth is essential to maintain proper alignment, facial structure, and bite function. Without a replacement, surrounding teeth can shift and create long-term complications. At Elevate Dental Studio, we provide personalized follow-up plans—including implants, bridges, or other advanced solutions—to ensure your smile remains healthy, functional, and beautifully balanced.
When Extractions Are Needed
- Deep Decay- Tooth structure and pulp are too compromised to save.
- Gum Disease- Bone and gum support are too weak to hold the tooth.
- Extra Teeth- Baby or extra teeth block proper alignment.
- Before Braces- Space is needed for teeth to move into place.
- Fractured Teeth- Breaks that cannot be repaired predictably.
- Impacted Teeth- Wisdom or other teeth trapped under gum or bone.

After Your Extraction
To support optimal healing after your tooth extraction and reduce the risk of complications, follow these essential post-procedure guidelines:
- Bite on gauze as directed and keep the area clean.
- Use a cold compress for swelling and take recommended pain relief.
- Eat soft foods and avoid straws and vigorous rinsing for the first day.
- Keep follow up visits and discuss options like an implant, bridge, or partial.
How It Works?
01
exam and plan
We assess the tooth, relieve pain, and discuss your replacement options.
02
simple extraction
For erupted teeth, the area is numbed, the ligament is loosened, and the tooth is gently removed.
03
surgical extraction
For impacted or inaccessible teeth, we numb the area, open the gum, and remove a small amount of bone if needed. The tooth may be sectioned for safe removal.
04
Protect and heal
The site is cleaned and closed as needed. You receive clear home care instructions and a plan for replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my tooth extraction be painful?
During the procedure, you will be completely comfortable thanks to advanced local anesthesia and gentle, precise techniques. Most patients feel only pressure—not pain. Some soreness afterward is normal, but it can typically be managed with recommended medications and proper home care.
How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
Most patients experience initial healing within a few days, while complete tissue recovery may take a couple of weeks. Following your aftercare instructions—such as avoiding strenuous activity, not smoking, and keeping the area clean—helps ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery.
When can I eat or drink after the extraction?
You can drink water immediately, but it’s important to avoid hot beverages, straws, and carbonated drinks for the first 24 hours. Soft foods are recommended initially, gradually moving to firmer foods as comfort allows. We’ll provide tailored guidance based on the complexity of your extraction.
Do I need to replace the tooth after it’s removed?
In most cases, yes. Replacing the extracted tooth helps maintain proper alignment, restore chewing function, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting. At Elevate Dental Studio, we offer advanced replacement options—such as dental implants and custom bridges—to restore both aesthetics and long-term oral health.
