When Saving the Tooth Isn’t the Best Option

At Brookhaven Dental, we always try to preserve your natural teeth. But when damage, decay, or infection makes that impossible, a tooth extraction may be the healthiest step forward.

We provide routine and surgical extractions in a comfortable, supportive setting — and we walk you through every step so you feel informed and at ease. From emergency removals to planned procedures, our team ensures a safe experience with personalized care.

Common Reasons for Tooth Extraction

You may need an extraction if:

• A tooth is severely decayed or infected
  
• The tooth is broken below the gumline
  
• Gum disease has loosened the tooth
  
• Overcrowding is affecting orthodontic treatment
  
• You’re preparing for dentures or dental implants
  

We also offer wisdom teeth removal if third molars are impacted or painful.

What to Expect During an Extraction

1. Consultation & X-Rays
   We assess your tooth and surrounding structures to determine the best approach. In many cases, extractions can be done the same day.
   
2. Local Anesthesia
   We numb the area thoroughly before starting. For anxious patients, we also offer sedation options.
   
3. Tooth Removal
   
   • Simple extractions are performed on visible teeth with minimal trauma.
     
   • Surgical extractions may be needed if the tooth is broken, impacted, or below the gumline.
     
4. Aftercare Instructions
   We provide clear instructions for managing discomfort, swelling, and healing at home — and we’re just a call away if you need follow-up support.
   

In some cases, we may recommend bone grafting to preserve your jaw for future implant placement.

Same-Day Extractions for Dental Emergencies

Tooth pain doesn’t follow a schedule. That’s why we offer same-day emergency appointments when you need urgent care for:

• Infected or abscessed teeth
  
• Cracked or broken teeth
  
• Severe dental pain
  
• Failed restorations

What Comes Next After an Extraction?

Depending on your long-term needs, we may recommend replacing the tooth with:

• A dental implant
  
• A bridge
  
• A partial denture
  

Our goal is to help you restore function and appearance — with options that match your budget and lifestyle.

Transparent Costs for Tooth Extractions

We keep things simple and stress-free with clear guidance on costs and coverage:

• Most dental insurance plans accepted, including Medicaid
  
• Payment plans through Cherry, CareCredit, and Alphaloan
  
• Membership plan available for patients without insurance
  

We’ll walk you through your options before treatment — no surprises, just solutions.
