Tooth Extraction

Have you noticed swelling, pain, or a loose tooth? Or are you dealing with a dental injury?

Though the dentists at NÜVA Smile will do everything possible to save a tooth, sometimes a gentle tooth extraction is the best thing for your oral health and comfort.

We have a variety of convenient locations throughout New Jersey and the Northeast so you don't have to travel far for treatment you can trust.

What Are Some Signs That I Need to See a Dentist?

It can be incredibly stressful to figure out if you need a tooth extraction, especially if you're dealing with uncomfortable symptoms. However, our New Jersey dentists are here to make things easy for you. Let us find a solution if you're experiencing:

  • Loose Teeth
  • Jaw, Tooth, or Facial Pain
  • An Abscess
  • Bleeding or Pus
  • Gum, Facial, or Jaw Swelling
  • Dental Trauma

Will I Have a Gap in My Smile Forever?

No, you don't have to! At our dentistry offices throughout New Jersey and the Northeast, we offer treatments designed to restore your smile, like traditional bridges and dental implant-supported crowns. Once you've healed, we can work with you to create beautiful and functional results.

Don't Believe Us? Take a Look at Some Real Patient Results

Even after tooth loss or extraction, it's possible to have a strong and stunning smile. We can place implants, or prosthetic tooth roots, into your jaw and gums to secure a lifelike restoration.

How Can I Pay for My Tooth Extraction?

Happy patient talking to dentist

Dental Insurance

Insurance assists with the cost of tooth extraction because serious injuries and decay can affect your health, oral function, and quality of life. Our practice accepts most providers, and we may even be able to bill your medical insurance when applicable.

Financing

From extraction, to implants, to restorations, CareCredit® financing can help our New Jersey patients afford the treatment they need. In select cases, we may also offer in-house financing directly from NÜVA Smile.

Cash or Card

We take cash, as well as most major credit cards. Patients can use them to cover their extractions in full, or they can use them to supplement financing or insurance.

What Should I Expect During a Tooth Extraction?

We'll always choose to save your teeth if we can, performing treatments like root canal therapy or crown placement. If you do need an extraction though, here's how our New Jersey dentists may help.
Your extraction consultation may be free, depending on the offers available at your local NÜVA Smile office.

Dentistry Consultation

Knowing which treatment you may need can be confusing. Only a dentist or oral surgeon will be able to tell you for sure. Our dentists will examine your affected tooth, as well as your other teeth, using panoramic X-rays and/or digital X-rays to help find the right solution.

Dental Anesthetic

Your comfort always comes first. Our compassionate dentists will apply dental anesthetic before beginning any treatment.

Extraction

Once we've confirmed that you're completely numb, we will begin your extraction. This could involve simply removing the tooth from its socket, but we may need to separate the tooth into smaller pieces first, depending on the complexity of your case. Either way, the most you will likely feel is a small bit of pressure.

Final Extraction Steps

Our dentist will clean the extraction site. They may also place gauze over your tooth. Then, they'll go over your recovery instructions and answer any final questions that you may have.

Restorations

Once your mouth has healed, we can plan your new smile. Luckily, we feature a variety of options, like crowns, bridges, and dentures. We can place implants in-house to stably secure each restoration, or we can guide you towards a traditional bridge or denture.

You Can Protect Yourself From Dry Socket

With good at-home care, complications from tooth extractions tend to be minimal. We believe in doing our due diligence and giving you all the information to succeed, which is why we want to take a moment to talk about dry socket.

Bleeding is normal after tooth extraction. This bleeding actually allows an essential blood clot to form over the extraction site. The clot helps protect the area and streamline the healing process. When the blood clot is dislodged, patients can experience a painful but treatable condition called dry socket. It can be prevented by following common post-extraction instructions, like not using straws and hot avoiding foods.

If you notice the signs of dry socket, contact our New Jersey dentists immediately. We're always here to help.
