At Luxia Dental, we understand that the thought of a tooth extraction can feel intimidating — but sometimes, it’s the best step to protect your overall oral health. Whether you’re experiencing severe pain, advanced decay, or overcrowding, our experienced team is here to provide gentle, effective care in a calm, spa-like setting.
Tooth extractions are a common dental procedure and are often recommended when a tooth is no longer restorable or is causing problems with your bite or alignment.
If a tooth is too damaged to repair with a filling or crown, extraction may be the best solution.
In some cases, removing a tooth can make space for proper alignment or braces.
Wisdom teeth that are stuck or misaligned can lead to infection, pain, and jaw damage — extraction can prevent complications.
Severe periodontal disease may damage the bone and tissues supporting a tooth, requiring removal to protect your overall oral health.
Some teeth may need to be removed to allow for proper fit and placement of prosthetics or implants.
At Luxia Dental, your comfort and confidence come first. Here’s what the process typically looks like:
We start with a digital X-ray and clinical exam to assess the problem tooth and plan your extraction safely.
Local anesthesia is used to completely numb the area. For anxious patients, sedation options are available.
Our dentist uses specialized instruments to gently remove the tooth. If needed, the tooth may be sectioned for easier removal — especially for impacted wisdom teeth.
You’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions, including tips for eating, oral hygiene, and managing swelling.
Whether it’s planned or urgent, our trusted team is here to help.
