Aesthetic Dental provides expert, patient-centered care focused on comfort, safety, and long-term oral health. Our experienced dental team serves patients from North Bergen, Hudson County, and nearby areas including Manhattan and NYC.
Dental extractions are sometimes necessary to relieve pain, stop infection, prepare for orthodontic treatment, or protect your overall health. At Aesthetic Dental, we take a conservative, minimally invasive approach—only recommending extractions when they are truly needed.
What Is a Dental Extraction?
A dental extraction is the professional removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While preserving natural teeth is always our priority, extractions may be recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or causing crowding or pain.
Our office performs:
- Simple tooth extractions
- Surgical extractions
- Wisdom tooth extractions
- Emergency tooth extractions
- Extractions prior to Invisalign or braces
- Extractions before dental implants or dentures
When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Severely Damaged or Decayed Teeth
When tooth decay or trauma extends beyond what a crown or root canal can repair, extraction may be the healthiest option.
Advanced Gum Disease (Periodontal Disease)
Severe periodontal disease can loosen teeth and damage supporting bone, making extraction necessary to prevent further infection.
Tooth Infection or Abscess
An infected tooth that cannot be saved with root canal therapy may require removal to stop the spread of bacteria.
Overcrowding & Orthodontic Treatment
Extractions are sometimes needed before Invisalign or braces to create proper spacing and alignment.
Impacted or Painful Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth often lack space to erupt properly, leading to pain, swelling, infection, or damage to nearby teeth.
Broken or Fractured Teeth
Teeth broken below the gumline may not be restorable and may require extraction.
Types of Dental Extractions We Offer
Simple Tooth Extractions
Performed on visible teeth using gentle techniques and local anesthesia for comfort.
Surgical Extractions
Required for teeth that are broken, impacted, or below the gumline. This includes many wisdom tooth extractions.
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
We evaluate wisdom teeth early to prevent complications such as crowding, cysts, or infections.
Emergency Tooth Extractions
Same-day care is available for severe pain, swelling, trauma, or dental abscesses.
