Tooth Extractions in West New York, NJ
When a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or causing crowding, extraction may be the best option for your overall oral health. At Veda Family Dentistry, we make the process smooth and comfortable, always focused on preserving your comfort, safety, and smile.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
While our goal is always to save your natural teeth, there are cases when removal is the healthiest choice. You may need a tooth extraction if you have:
Severe decay or infection beyond repair
Advanced periodontal (gum) disease
A cracked or fractured tooth below the gum line
Impacted wisdom teeth
Overcrowding before orthodontics
Teeth interfering with dentures or other restorations
We assess each case with care and precision using digital X-rays and thorough exams.
Types of Tooth Extractions
Simple Extraction – Performed on visible teeth with local anesthesia. These are quick, routine procedures with minimal downtime.
Surgical Extraction – Used for impacted or broken teeth. May involve a small incision and is typically done under local anesthesia with optional sedation for added comfort.
Our doctors are highly trained in both types of extractions and use minimally invasive techniques to promote faster healing.
What to Expect During the Procedure
We numb the area with local anesthesia for a pain-free experience.
If necessary, sedation options are available to reduce anxiety.
The tooth is gently loosened and removed.
In some cases, stitches may be placed to support healing.
You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and a follow-up plan.
Most patients experience only mild soreness after a simple extraction, with full healing in 7 to 10 days.
