    When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary

    When a damaged or broken tooth cannot be saved, it may risk your oral health. Some situations where we may recommend tooth extraction include:

    • Dental trauma or fractures: Teeth that are broken beyond repair due to injury may need to be removed to prevent infection or further issues.
    • Severe decay: If a tooth is grossly carious and cannot be restored, extraction may be necessary to protect neighboring teeth from damage.
    • Impacted wisdom teeth: If your third molars do not erupt normally or remain impacted, we may suggest removing them.
    • Loose teeth: Teeth that have become loose or mobile due to advanced gum disease or trauma may need to be extracted.
    • Overcrowding: In certain orthodontic cases, we may extract one or more teeth to make space for the remaining teeth.

    Types of Tooth Extractions Offered At Our Clinic in Houston, TX

    At our clinic in Houston, we perform two types of tooth extractions: simple and surgical. During your consultation, our dentist will examine your mouth and take X-rays to determine the best approach.

    Simple Tooth Extraction

    This procedure is straightforward and involves no complex methods. If the tooth is fully visible and not broken, we will gently loosen it and remove it using dental forceps. To ensure your comfort, we will numb the area with local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the process.

    Wisdom Tooth Extraction

    Wisdom teeth often remain trapped beneath the gums or jawbone, which can lead to discomfort or pain. To prevent these complications, our dentists may recommend extracting them. Once we numb the gums and jawbone area, we will surgically remove the impacted tooth. In some cases, one or more stitches may be placed to support proper healing.

    what our patients say

    I visit this clinic rather often, and the staff is always very nice and compassionate. Dr. Hickerson is a truly kind and honest person. Having interacted with various dentists, I've often noticed that their advice seems driven by business interests rather than a genuine intention to save your teeth. I'm lucky that doctors like Dr. Hickerson are around.

    Dr. Patel is just incredible! My kids and I loved her. She is thorough and explains everything really well. Super gentle, procedure did not hurt at all. She was able to help me avoid much more extensive dental work. I can honestly say we enjoyed going to the dentist!

    I had 3 crowns and 2 fillings (my parents have a lot to answer for!) and it was pain free. Dr. Hickerson and Micah were efficient and also friendly, made sure I was comfortable.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Will tooth extraction hurt?
    Our dentist in Houston use local anesthesia to numb the area before performing a tooth extraction. You may feel some pressure but no sharp pain during the procedure.
    When can I start eating normally after an extraction?
    We recommend a soft-food diet for the first 2 to 3 days following the procedure. Once the area begins to heal, you can gradually return to your regular diet.
    How soon can an extracted tooth be replaced?
    It depends on how long the tooth socket takes to heal after the procedure. In some cases, we may place an immediate denture to replace the gap temporarily.
