At A+ Family Dentistry, we want our patients to be as comfortable as possible with the treatment we provide, including tooth extractions. Learn more about what to expect during this common dental procedure.
Tooth Extraction Basics
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. Tooth extractions are typically performed by a dentist or oral surgeon, and they are usually considered to be a last resort after all other options have been exhausted. There are many reasons why a tooth extraction might be necessary, including:
Tooth extractions are also sometimes performed in preparation for radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
Do Tooth Extractions Take a Long Time?
Most tooth extractions are quick and easy, taking only a few minutes to complete. However, some extractions may be more complicated and may take longer to perform.

They will also let you know if there is anything you need to do to prepare for the procedure.
