What Are Tooth Extractions?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket. Extractions may be required for severe decay, infection, overcrowding, broken teeth beyond repair, or to prepare for orthodontic treatment. Brightly Dental provides both simple and surgical extractions using modern techniques that minimize discomfort and promote faster healing.

What to Expect
During your visit, our team will take digital X-rays and explain whether a simple or surgical extraction is needed. Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort, and sedation options may be available for patients with dental anxiety. After the tooth is gently removed, we’ll provide clear aftercare instructions to help minimize swelling and promote healing. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
