Tooth Extraction in Brooklyn

Sometimes saving a tooth isn’t possible. Whether due to severe decay, advanced gum disease, overcrowding for orthodontic treatment, or irreparable damage from trauma, extraction may be the best path forward.

Our gentle approach to tooth extraction in Brooklyn prioritizes your comfort from start to finish. We use local anesthesia to numb the area completely, and our skilled technique minimizes trauma to surrounding tissue. After your extraction, we’ll provide detailed post-extraction care instructions to ensure smooth healing and help you understand your options for tooth replacement if needed.

Wisdom Teeth Removal in Brooklyn

Wisdom teeth—your third molars that typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties—often cause problems because there’s simply not enough room in your mouth for them. When wisdom teeth become impacted (trapped beneath the gum line or growing at an angle), they can cause pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, and even cysts.

When do wisdom teeth need removal?

• They’re causing pain or swelling
• They’re impacted and unable to emerge properly
• They’re crowding other teeth or affecting your bite
• Decay or gum disease has developed around partially erupted wisdom teeth
• Your dentist recommends preventive removal before problems develop

Our approach to wisdom teeth removal:

Whether you’re a Brooklyn professional who wants to maintain a polished appearance during treatment or a parent looking for a comfortable option for your teenager, Invisalign treatment in Brooklyn offers the flexibility and discretion you need.

Most patients recover within a few days to a week. We’ll provide you with specific aftercare instructions, pain management recommendations, and dietary guidelines to ensure your healing goes smoothly.

Emergency Tooth Extractions

When a dental emergency strikes—whether it’s unbearable tooth pain, a cracked tooth, or a severe infection—you need immediate care. Our Brooklyn oral surgery center offers emergency tooth extraction services with same-day or next-day appointments whenever possible.

When should you seek emergency extraction?

• Severe, persistent tooth pain that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter medication
• Facial swelling indicating infection
• Broken or fractured teeth causing pain
• Trauma from an accident or injury

We provide fast pain relief and clear guidance on whether you should come directly to our office or visit the emergency room first. For most dental emergencies, our oral surgeons can address your needs more effectively than a hospital ER.

Surgical Tooth Extractions

Some teeth require a more complex surgical approach for removal. This includes teeth that are:

• Broken off at or below the gum line
• Impacted beneath bone or gum tissue
• Fractured with roots that have curved or extensive growth
• Severely decayed with structural compromise

During surgical tooth extraction in Brooklyn, we make a small incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth. In some cases, we may need to remove a small amount of bone or section the tooth into smaller pieces for easier removal. This sounds more intense than it is—with proper anesthesia and sedation, you won’t feel pain during the procedure.

If you’re planning to replace the tooth with a dental implant later, we can perform bone grafting at the time of extraction to preserve the jawbone and create a strong foundation for your future implant.
