Tooth Extraction
Gentle, Comfortable Tooth Extractions When You Need Them
Hearing you may need a tooth removed can feel intimidating — but you’re not alone, and the experience doesn’t have to be stressful. At Modern Dental, we provide gentle, compassionate tooth extractions designed to relieve pain, protect your health, and support long-term comfort.
Using advanced imaging, careful techniques, and a calm, supportive approach, we make extractions as easy and comfortable as possible. If you’re anxious, we also offer sedation options to help you relax throughout the procedure.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
We only recommend extraction when it’s the safest and healthiest option. Situations that may require removal include:
Severe Decay or Damage
When a tooth cannot be restored with fillings, crowns, or endodontics.
Advanced Infection or Abscess
If the infection has spread or damaged the tooth beyond repair.
Cracked or Fractured Teeth
Certain deep cracks cannot be saved with restorations or endodontic therapy.
Impacted or Problematic Teeth
Teeth that cannot properly erupt or cause pain, including some wisdom teeth.
Orthodontic or Space Considerations
In some cases, teeth may be removed to support orthodontic alignment.
Preparation for Implants or Dentures
Removing failing or damaged teeth creates a stable foundation for restoration.
If you’re unsure whether you need an extraction, we’ll walk you through every option first — preserving your natural tooth whenever possible.
Our Approach to Comfortable Extractions
Extractions at Modern Dental are designed around comfort, clarity, and gentle care.
Thorough Evaluation & 3D Imaging
We begin with a CBCT scan or digital X-rays to fully understand the tooth’s structure and surrounding anatomy.
Gentle, Minimal-Force Techniques
Modern extraction techniques focus on preserving bone, reducing trauma, and speeding healing.
Sedation Options Available
For anxious patients, we offer nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation.
PRF for Faster, More Comfortable Healing
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) uses your own blood to support healing, reduce discomfort, and minimize swelling.
Clear Instructions for Home Care
You’ll receive simple, clear guidelines to support a smooth recovery.
We take every step with patience and compassion to make the experience positive and stress-free.
Tooth Replacement Options (If Needed)
If you’re losing a tooth, you don’t have to live with an empty space. We offer modern tooth replacement solutions, including:
- Single dental implants
- Implant bridges
- Snap-in dentures
- All-on-4 / full-arch implant restorations
- Traditional bridges
We’ll help you decide which option fits your goals, health, and budget.
Tooth Extraction FAQs
Not at Modern Dental. We numb the area completely before treatment and offer sedation for anxious patients. Most people feel only mild pressure — not pain. After the procedure, soreness is normal but manageable with recommended care.
Most patients feel significantly better within 24–48 hours. You may experience mild swelling or tenderness, but PRF can speed healing and reduce discomfort. We’ll give you a simple aftercare guide to help you recover smoothly.
Most extractions take only a few minutes once you’re numb. More complex cases may take slightly longer, but the process is still gentle and efficient.
Sometimes decay, cracks, or infection damage a tooth beyond repair. When preserving the tooth isn’t possible or safe, extraction helps prevent more serious problems like infection spread, bone loss, or ongoing pain. We always explain why extraction is recommended and review all other options first.
Soft foods like yogurt, scrambled eggs, smoothies, mashed potatoes, and soups are ideal for the first day or two. You’ll gradually return to your normal diet as comfort improves.
