Tooth Extractions

Why Would I Need a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to be saved through other treatment. Extractions can also help address overcrowding, advanced gum disease, or prepare your mouth for future dental implants. At Westchester Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery & Implantology, we take time to explain if an extraction is the right option for your specific situation before moving forward.

Our Process at Westchester Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery & Implantology

We begin every tooth extraction with a thorough consultation and advanced imaging to fully understand the position and condition of the tooth. This allows our surgeons to plan a precise, personalized approach and discuss anesthesia or sedation options for your comfort. After your procedure, we provide clear aftercare instructions to support healing and help you feel confident every step of the way.

Types of Tooth Extractions

A simple extraction is typically performed when the tooth is visible above the gums and can often be completed comfortably with local anesthesia. A surgical extraction is recommended for teeth that are impacted or located below the gumline and involves a more thorough approach. Our doctors will recommend the type of tooth extraction that best fits your needs after a careful evaluation.
