If a tooth can’t be saved, we clearly and comfortably guide you to the next step so you get relief and a simple plan you understand.
Start Here

We try to save teeth when possible. If extraction is best, the procedure will be simple, gentle, and predictable.
When You May Need a Tooth Pulled
You might need a tooth extraction if you have:
Repeated or severe pain (especially when chewing)
Swelling in the gums, face, or jaw
A bad taste or pus near a tooth
A broken or repeatedly cracking tooth
Deep decay that can’t be fixed reliably
A loose tooth from gum disease or bone loss
Wisdom tooth pain or repeated swelling at the back of the mouth
Important: If your face swelling is quickly getting worse, or you have fever, trouble swallowing, or trouble breathing, get urgent medical care.

Tooth Extraction FAQs
1) Does an extraction hurt?
Most people are surprised—it's more pressure than pain. We make sure you're fully numb before we start and can stop at any point if needed.
2) How long does an extraction appointment take?
Most appointments run about 30–60 minutes from start to finish, including numbing time and going over aftercare. More involved cases take longer.
3) What is the difference between a simple and surgical extraction?
A simple extraction removes a tooth that's fully visible above the gumline. A surgical extraction is needed when the tooth is broken, partially buried, or has roots that make a straight removal complicated.
4) Can I get a same-day extraction?
It depends. We confirm the diagnosis and make sure it's safe to proceed before anything happens. Same-day may work depending on swelling, infection, and schedule availability. If you're coming from around Beavercreek, just call ahead and we'll do our best to fit you in.
5) If I have an infection, do I need antibiotics first?
Not necessarily. Removing the problem is often the most direct route to relief. If antibiotics make sense for your situation, we'll tell you exactly why and how to time them.
6) How much bleeding is normal after an extraction?
Some light oozing right after the extraction is normal. If the bleeding is heavy or seems to be getting worse, give us a call and we'll walk you through what to do.
7) How do I avoid dry socket?
The main things to avoid for the first 24 hours: smoking or vaping, straws, and any forceful rinsing or spitting. Your aftercare instructions are there for a reason—stick to them.
8) What can I eat after an extraction?
Stick to soft options at first—yogurt, eggs, mashed foods, pasta, warm soup, and smoothies without a straw. Hold off on anything crunchy, spicy, or seedy until you've had a couple days to heal.
9) When can I return to work or exercise?
Most people are back to their routine by the next day. Intense exercise is worth skipping for at least the first 24 hours since it can raise bleeding risk. We'll give you specific guidance.
10) Can I drive myself home?
Local numbing only? Most patients drive themselves home without any issue. If you opted for sedation, plan to have someone with you.
11) Do I need to replace the tooth afterward?
In most cases, yes—particularly for back teeth where the gap can affect your bite over time. We'll talk through bridge, partial, and implant options to help you figure out what fits.
12) If I want an implant later, is there anything to plan now?
It can make a difference. A bone graft placed at the time of extraction can keep the site in good shape for a future implant. We're a short drive from Beavercreek, OH and will walk you through every option before any decisions are made.
