Tooth extractions in Millcreek, UT

When a tooth can't be saved, we take it out as comfortably as possible and talk through what's next.

When a tooth needs to come out

  • A tooth that's too broken or decayed to repair
  • Wisdom teeth that are impacted or crowding others
  • A tooth loosened by advanced gum disease
  • Making room before orthodontic treatment

What to expect

We numb the area so you feel pressure but not pain. We'll give you clear aftercare instructions, and we're a phone call away if anything feels off while you heal.

What comes after

Losing a tooth can let neighboring teeth shift over time. If it's a tooth you chew or smile with, we'll walk you through options like an implant, bridge or partial denture.

Questions people actually ask

Does getting a tooth pulled hurt?

The area is fully numb during the extraction. Some soreness afterward is normal and usually eased with over-the-counter pain relief.

How long does healing take?

Most people feel back to normal in a few days. The gum and bone keep healing for a few weeks.

Do you remove wisdom teeth?

We'll evaluate your wisdom teeth and let you know whether they should come out and the best way to do it.
