What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is a procedure in which a damaged, infected, or non-restorable tooth is removed. Extractions are used when a tooth cannot be saved through restorative treatments like fillings, crowns, or root canals.

Our Queens dental team performs two types of extractions:

1. Simple Extractions

Used when the tooth is visible above the gumline and can be gently loosened and removed.

2. Surgical Extractions

Used when the tooth is broken, impacted, or not fully erupted. A small incision may be made to safely remove the tooth.

During your visit, our dentists will:

• Examine your tooth and surrounding tissues
• Take digital X-rays to assess root structure and bone levels
• Recommend the most appropriate extraction method
• Provide anesthesia to ensure your comfort

We prioritize gentle, precise care from start to finish.

Do I Need a Tooth Extraction?

You may need a tooth extraction if you experience:

• Severe decay or a deeply infected tooth
• Cracked or broken teeth that cannot be restored
• Advanced periodontal (gum) disease
• Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
• Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
• A tooth causing recurring pain or swelling
• Failed dental restorations

Our dentists will always explore all available treatment options before recommending an extraction.
