Tooth extraction at Smile 24 Dentistry is always a last resort, used when a tooth can no longer be predictably saved and keeping it would do more harm than good.

Tooth Extraction in Biltmore area, Phoenix

At Smile 24 Dentistry, we recommend tooth extraction only after we’ve carefully evaluated whether treatment like a filling, crown, or root canal can still protect the tooth. When removal is the healthiest option - because of severe decay, deep cracks, advanced infection, or a hopeless prognosis, we plan the extraction to be as gentle and straightforward as possible.

For teeth that are fully visible and stable, a simple extraction can often be done quickly under local anesthetic, with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues. When a tooth is broken at the gumline, impacted, or surrounded by infection, a surgical extraction may be needed, involving a small incision and sometimes sectioning the tooth so it can be removed safely.

Before the procedure, we review your medical history, explain what to expect, and discuss replacement options such as implants, bridges, or dentures if needed, so you are not left with unanswered questions. Afterward, you receive clear, written instructions on rest, diet, and oral care to support normal healing and reduce the risk of complications like dry socket or infection.
