Tooth Extraction in Detroit, MI

At our Detroit office, tooth extraction is sometimes the most appropriate and compassionate treatment choice — when a tooth is too severely decayed, fractured, or infected to be saved, or when wisdom teeth are impacting neighboring teeth and causing chronic pain. Our team performs both simple and surgical extractions with the same gentle, patient-focused approach we bring to every procedure.

Before any extraction, we take digital X-rays and perform a thorough clinical examination to confirm that extraction is truly necessary serving Detroit and surrounding areas. We believe in exhausting every viable option to save natural teeth before resorting to extraction — but when it is the right choice, we perform it efficiently and with minimal discomfort.

Simple extractions are performed when a tooth is visible above the gumline. Surgical extractions, needed for impacted teeth or severely broken teeth, involve a small incision in the gum tissue. Both procedures are performed under effective local anesthesia, and we offer nitrous oxide and other sedation options for anxious patients.

Following extraction, we provide detailed written and verbal aftercare instructions covering diet, activity restrictions, medication, and warning signs of complications like dry socket. Most patients experience significant relief within 24 hours and return to normal activity within a few days.

We discuss tooth replacement options — dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures — before your extraction so you have a complete plan for restoring your smile. Leaving a gap where a tooth was extracted can cause neighboring teeth to drift, alter your bite, and create long-term oral health problems.
