We focus on your comfort, safety, and long-term wellness, ensuring your experience is as smooth and pain-free as possible.
At Endicott Dental, every treatment starts with listening. We take the time to understand your symptoms, concerns, and goals, then craft a personalized care plan that prioritizes your comfort while protecting your overall smile.
Tooth extraction can sound intimidating, but at Endicott Dental, it’s a routine, comfortable procedure performed with precision and care. We believe that removing a problematic tooth doesn’t have to be stressful and we do everything possible to make it a positive experience.
Utilizing modern anesthesia, sedation options, and advanced surgical tools, we minimize discomfort and expedite the healing process. From start to finish, your dentist closely monitors your comfort level, explaining each step so you always know what to expect.
Our gentle approach allows patients of all ages to feel calm and confident, even those who have had negative experiences elsewhere.
We always aim to save natural teeth whenever possible through restorative options, such as fillings, crowns, or root canal therapy. Extraction is considered only when preservation is no longer the healthiest choice. When removal is necessary, you can rest assured that it’s done to protect your long-term oral health and comfort.
Tooth extraction isn’t just about removing a tooth; it’s about restoring balance and preventing further problems. Here are the most common situations where extraction becomes necessary:
When decay extends deep into the tooth structure, compromising both the enamel and root, repair may no longer be possible. Extraction prevents infection from spreading to neighboring teeth or bone.
When a tooth breaks too close to or below the gum line, it may not be possible to restore it with a crown or filling. In these cases, extraction prevents infection and discomfort.
If gum disease has destroyed the supporting bone or tissue, the tooth may loosen and require removal to prevent damage to the surrounding teeth.
Sometimes, damaged or infected teeth need removal before restorative work such as dental implants, bridges, or full dentures. This step creates a clean, healthy foundation for your new restoration.
Our experienced team carefully evaluates each situation before recommending extraction, ensuring that it’s the most beneficial and necessary option for your oral health.
Impacted wisdom teeth are a frequent cause of pain, swelling, and misalignment. Removing them early can prevent future complications. Extraction can also make room for orthodontic treatments, such as braces or aligners.
We believe that knowing what to expect can significantly reduce anxiety. Here’s how a typical tooth extraction visit at Endicott Dental unfolds:
Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation
Before anything else, your dentist will conduct a detailed examination using digital X-rays or 3D imaging to determine the exact position and condition of the tooth. We’ll review your medical history, discuss your comfort level, and outline every step of the procedure.
Step 2: Local Anesthesia & Sedation Options
A local anesthetic completely numbs the area. For anxious patients, we also offer sedation options such as oral sedation or nitrous oxide to help you relax throughout the procedure.
Step 3: Tooth Removal
Depending on the tooth’s condition, we perform either a simple extraction (for visible, loosened teeth) or a surgical extraction (for impacted or broken teeth). Using gentle movements and advanced tools, your dentist removes the tooth while minimizing pressure and tissue disruption.
Step 4: Site Cleaning & Protection
After removal, we thoroughly clean the socket and may place dissolvable stitches if necessary. A soft gauze pad is applied to promote clot formation and reduce bleeding.
Step 5: Recovery & Aftercare
Before you leave, we’ll provide detailed post-extraction care instructions. This includes guidance on pain management, foods to avoid, and how to maintain oral hygiene while healing. Most patients experience only mild soreness for 1–2 days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and rest.
We’ll also schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor the healing process and discuss tooth replacement options, such as implants, bridges, or partial dentures, if needed.

Not at all. Local anesthesia ensures you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Afterward, mild soreness is common but manageable with pain relievers and rest.
Most patients feel back to normal within 3–5 days. Full healing of the extraction site usually occurs within 1–2 weeks, depending on the complexity of the extraction.
Stick to soft foods for the first 24–48 hours like soups, yogurt, and mashed potatoes. Avoid straws, crunchy foods, and smoking, which can disrupt healing.
Dry socket happens when the blood clot at the extraction site dislodges, exposing bone and nerves. Avoid drinking through straws, smoking, or vigorous rinsing during early recovery to prevent it.
If a visible or functional tooth is removed, replacing it with a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture helps prevent bone loss and shifting of other teeth. We’ll help you choose the best solution for your situation.
Yes. We safely and efficiently remove impacted or infected wisdom teeth, ensuring your comfort through sedation options and guided imaging for precise removal.
