Extraction is usually the last option considered, recommended only after a dentist has ruled out a crown, root canal, or other restorative fix. Simple extractions handle teeth fully visible above the gumline, while surgical extractions are needed when a tooth is broken at the gumline or hasn't fully erupted.
Local anesthesia numbs the area completely before any extraction begins, with sedation options available for anxious patients or more involved surgical cases. Following the socket-care instructions closely for the first few days is what prevents the most common post-extraction complication.
Not every extraction needs a replacement right away, but a gap left too long can let neighboring teeth drift and complicate future treatment. If an implant is planned down the line, a bone graft placed at the time of extraction can preserve the socket's shape for that later procedure.
No separate referral needed for more complex surgical extractions in most cases.
Comfort options beyond local anesthesia are offered for patients who need them.
Urgent extractions are prioritized rather than scheduled weeks out.
You leave with specific instructions on diet, rinsing, and activity to protect the healing socket.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist you reach through us has handled it before.
The most common extraction type, typically quick with straightforward recovery.
Handles more complicated cases where the tooth can't simply be lifted out whole.
Removes a tooth too decayed to support a filling or crown, stopping the decay from spreading further.
Removes teeth that have lost too much bone support from periodontal disease to remain functional.
A planning step some orthodontic cases require before alignment can proceed properly.
Recommended when you plan to replace the extracted tooth with an implant later on.
You describe what's going on; no automated menu, no long hold.
We match you with a nearby specialist experienced in this exact procedure and check real-time openings.
The specialist examines your case, often with same-visit X-rays, and gives you a cost estimate before starting anything.
Treatment proceeds on the agreed plan, with clear aftercare instructions and a follow-up if the case calls for one.
"Explained every step before doing anything. First time a dental visit didn't feel rushed."
"Didn't have to wait weeks like my old dentist. Straight to a specialist who knew exactly what to do."
"No upsells, no pressure. Just the treatment I needed at the price I was told."
You may feel pressure during the procedure, but not pain, thanks to the anesthesia.
Simple extractions typically heal within a week; surgical extractions may take a bit longer.
Dry socket happens when the healing blood clot dislodges too early — avoiding straws and smoking helps prevent it.
Not always, but leaving a gap too long can let neighboring teeth shift — your provider will discuss options.
Urgent cases involving pain or infection are often accommodated same-day rather than scheduled out.
Pricing varies with complexity, and you'll get an estimate before any procedure is performed.
Our coverage spans Conestee and its surrounding area, matching you with the closest available specialist.
Every provider carries an active SC dental license, verified before referral.
A short phone call is all it takes to get this on the calendar this week.
