Tooth Extractions
Damaged or infected teeth can change how you eat, speak, and feel. When a tooth cannot be saved, tooth extractions in Woodbridge, Dale City, & Burke, VA relieve pain, protect nearby teeth, and help you plan a healthy smile.
Fast Care When You Need an Extraction
Some tooth problems cannot wait. Severe pain, swelling, or trauma may mean you need emergency teeth removal to stop infection and protect your health. We examine your tooth, review X-rays, and explain why extraction is the best choice.
What Happens During Your Visit
Many people feel nervous about dental tooth removal, but the steps are simple. We numb the area, loosen and remove the tooth, place gauze, and review aftercare and possible replacement options.
Keeping You Comfortable and Safe
Your safety matters most, especially when we are pulling a broken tooth or one with deep decay. We review your health history, take images, use local anesthesia, and give clear directions so you can manage soreness and support smooth healing.
When an Extraction Protects Your Smile
Sometimes the healthiest choice is seeing a dentist who pulls teeth before problems spread. A tooth with severe decay, deep cracks, failed treatment, or advanced gum disease may not be stable, and removing it can ease pain and protect nearby teeth.
FAQs About Tooth Extractions
Will my tooth extraction hurt?
You should feel pressure, not sharp pain, because the tooth and gums are numbed. Mild soreness afterward is common and often improves over a few days with rest and medicine from your dentist.
When should I call about an extraction?
Call right away for a severe toothache, facial swelling, or trauma that breaks a tooth. If you search for teeth pulling near me, choose a team that can see you soon and help prevent serious infection.
How long does healing take?
Most people feel much better after several days, although deeper healing takes longer. Protect the blood clot, avoid smoking and straws, and follow your dentist’s instructions about cleaning near the area and returning for checkups.
