Dental Extractions

About Dental Extractions

The reasons that a tooth would require an extraction include a tooth infection or abscess, periodontal disease, extensive decay, a fracture, or excessive crowding. In most cases, there is an infection or permanent nerve damage. If the tooth can be saved, your dentist will recommend a less invasive procedure, such as a crown or root canal.

Our dentists are proficient in simple and surgical extractions and can even remove wisdom teeth. The procedure of the extraction involves one of our dentists using a local anesthetic to numb the tooth and jawbone, as well as the gums that surround the area. While pressure is put on the tooth so it can be gently removed, the anesthetic will prevent you from feeling pain. The local anesthetic in combination with one of our dental sedation options is an effective way to manage your dental anxiety and guarantee a pain-free dental experience.

We specialize in same-day dental appointments and can have your tooth extraction taken care of in no time. Our dentists are ready to help you with your dental emergency so you can be pain-free again. If we cannot see you at your location of preference, one of our other locations can work you in the schedule for a walk-in dental appointment for your dental extraction. If your emergency is after hours, please call one of our emergency lines at 615-200-6460 (English) or 615-457-7178 (Español) and one of our team members will get in touch with you ASAP.
