Tooth Extractions

Gentle, stress-free tooth extractions for decay, infection, or crowding—plus same-day relief for urgent cases.

Expert Tooth Extraction in Duncan, OK

While preserving natural teeth is always the goal, there are times when removing a tooth is the healthiest option. Severe decay, advanced infection, crowding, or traumatic damage can make extraction necessary to protect your overall oral health. Whether your extraction is planned or needed urgently, we focus on making the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

We use gentle techniques along with local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for patients who prefer additional comfort. For sudden pain or infection, our same-day emergency extractions provide fast relief when waiting simply isn’t possible. With proper aftercare, healing is smooth and predictable, helping you return to normal function quickly.

When is a tooth extraction necessary?

A tooth extraction is needed when a tooth is severely decayed, infected, broken beyond repair, impacted (such as wisdom teeth) or causing overcrowding. It may also be required if gum disease has weakened the supporting bone structure.

Are tooth extractions painful?

With modern anesthesia and sedation options, tooth extractions are typically not painful. You may feel pressure during the procedure, but your dentist will ensure you’re comfortable. Any post-extraction discomfort can usually be managed with pain relievers and aftercare instructions.

How can I prevent dry socket after a tooth extraction?

To prevent dry socket, avoid smoking, using straws or vigorous rinsing for the first few days after extraction. Follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions, keep the area clean and stick to soft foods while healing. If you experience severe pain, contact your dentist immediately.
