When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
While preserving your natural teeth is always our priority, certain conditions can make an extraction the best option:
- Severe tooth decay or infection
- Advanced periodontal (gum) disease
- Irreparable fractures or trauma
- Crowding prior to orthodontic treatment
- Impacted teeth causing discomfort
- Failed root canal treatment
We’ll assess your condition thoroughly and only recommend extraction when it is the most beneficial course of action.
What to Expect During Your Tooth Extraction
At South Palm Dental, we believe extractions should be as stress-free as possible. That’s why we use local anesthesia and, when needed, offer sedation options to ensure your comfort.
The Process:
- Comprehensive Exam
Digital X-rays and 3D imaging help us evaluate the tooth and plan your extraction with precision. - Numbing and Sedation
We apply a local anesthetic to numb the area. If you experience dental anxiety, we also offer oral sedation and nitrous oxide. - Tooth Removal
The tooth is gently loosened and removed with specialized instruments. Stitches may be placed if necessary to support healing. - Aftercare Guidance
We provide complete instructions for pain management, oral hygiene, and healing to ensure a smooth recovery.
Replacing a Missing Tooth After Extraction
Tooth loss doesn’t have to be permanent. After extraction, we’ll work with you to create a plan for replacing the tooth and restoring your smile. Options may include:
- Dental Implants
- Bridges
- Partial Dentures
- Snap-On Smiles for cosmetic concerns

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a tooth extraction painful?
With proper anesthesia and sedation, the procedure is generally painless. Some post-op discomfort is normal, but we’ll provide medication and care tips to keep you comfortable.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients recover within 7–10 days. Avoid hard foods and strenuous activity for a few days to promote proper healing.
Will I need a replacement tooth?
In most cases, yes. Replacing a missing tooth helps preserve bone and prevent neighboring teeth from shifting.
Can I go back to work the same day?
We recommend taking the day off to rest. Most patients return to work the following day with minimal restrictions.
Does insurance cover tooth extractions?
Many insurance plans cover extractions, especially if medically necessary. Our team will help verify your benefits and estimate costs.
