Nobody wants to lose a tooth—but sometimes, it’s the best step toward protecting your overall health. Whether you’re dealing with pain, infection, or overcrowding, a tooth extraction might help you find relief and prevent bigger problems down the road.
At Precision Oral Surgery, we focus on making you feel safe, informed, and supported. Our experienced team will walk you through the entire process with care and kindness—just like we would for a neighbor or friend.
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It might sound intimidating, but in the right hands, it’s a smooth and routine procedure.
You may need an extraction if you have:
Depending on the condition of the tooth and your overall oral health, your surgeon may recommend either a simple or surgical extraction. Simple extractions are done when the tooth is visible and easy to remove. Surgical extractions are for teeth that are impacted or broken below the gumline.
We start with a one-on-one consultation to understand your situation. You’ll meet with your oral surgeon, who will review X-rays and talk through any concerns or symptoms you may have. This is your time to ask questions—we’ll make sure you have clear answers before moving forward.
Before your procedure, we’ll review your medical history and walk you through any instructions for the day of your surgery. We offer local anesthesia and other sedation options to keep you calm and comfortable throughout. You’ll only feel gentle pressure as the tooth is removed.
Your surgeon will gently loosen the tooth and remove it from the socket. If you’re having a surgical extraction, we may need to make a small incision in the gum. Afterward, the area is cleaned and protected to help your body start healing right away.
After your extraction, we’ll give you simple instructions to help you recover well at home. Some swelling or mild soreness is normal. We’ll guide you on how to manage it with over-the-counter pain medicine and home care.

We’ll also share tips to prevent dry sockets, a condition that can happen if the blood clot in your extraction site becomes dislodged. But if you follow our care instructions, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. And rest assured—we’re here if you have any questions after surgery.
