Simple Tooth Extraction
If your tooth is causing you severe pain and no other restoration treatment is working, the most effective way to stop that pain and protect your oral health is to remove the damaged tooth. This procedure is done on a tooth that is visible and easy to reach. We gently remove it using specialised dental instruments, under local anaesthesia, so you stay comfortable throughout the process.
With this affordable teeth-pulling procedure, we ensure your surrounding teeth and gums are protected while we ease your pain. We use advanced numbing techniques even for a cheap molar extraction procedure, ensuring a comfortable experience while keeping treatment costs affordable for our local patients.
Surgical Dental Extraction
When your tooth is impacted, fractured below the gum line, or severely decayed, an oral extraction surgery is needed. We use gentle, advanced techniques and digital imaging to carefully remove the tooth with minimal trauma to the gums and bone.
We offer local anaesthesia and sedation options to help you stay relaxed during the procedure, especially for more complex cases such as impacted teeth or wisdom teeth removal, decayed, or broken tooth extraction.
Our office offers transparent pricing and flexible plans for all surgical procedures, so every Tucson patient can receive timely care.
Emergency Tooth Removal
Severe tooth pain or swelling can sometimes feel unbearable, especially if it disturbs your sleep or daily activities. Our emergency service is designed to provide you with quick diagnosis and treatment to relieve pain. We use local anaesthesia or sedation to pull the tooth painlessly and to ensure you stay calm during the procedure.
Our dentist not only pulls the tooth but also addresses the root cause, be it deep decay, an abscess, or trauma, by stopping the infection from spreading so your gums heal faster. We provide immediate, gentle, and reasonable tooth extraction services to ensure you receive expert care whenever an emergency strikes without any financial stress.
Our Tooth Extraction Process
Before any extraction, we take clear digital X-rays to see the tooth’s position, bone support, and nearby structures. Dr Brock reviews your health history and explains the steps involved so you know what to expect before treatment begins.
Once you are numb and comfortable, the tooth is removed with controlled, gentle motion. Gauze is placed to protect the socket and help form a natural blood clot that supports healing. We’ll also explain how to manage recovery and what foods to eat in the first few days.
A follow-up appointment allows us to check healing and plan any replacements, such as dental implants or dental bridges, to restore your bite and smile.
Benefits of Tooth Extraction
Removing a severely damaged or infected tooth stops pain immediately and helps prevent the infection from spreading. It also makes space for future restorations like dental implants and bridges that improve chewing and speech.
Proper aftercare following extraction supports faster healing and lowers the chance of complications. Extraction also protects nearby teeth and gums, making it an important step in restoring full oral health for many patients.
Aftercare and Recovery
After the procedure, avoid rinsing or spitting forcefully for the first 24 hours so the clot can stabilize. Stick to soft foods and drink plenty of water. Most patients return to normal eating within a few days.
Gently rinse with warm salt water after the first day to keep the area clean. Our team checks your progress during follow-up visits and provides additional instructions if needed. With good oral hygiene, most extraction sites heal fully in one to two weeks.
