Gentle, Precise Extractions for a Healthier Smile

When Tooth Removal Becomes the Best Option


At Pearson Family Dentistry, our top priority is to help you keep your natural teeth healthy and strong for life. However, when damage, decay, or infection becomes too severe to repair, a tooth extraction may be the best way to protect your overall oral health.


Tooth extractions are more common — and more comfortable — than you might think. Using advanced imaging, laser-assisted techniques, and a gentle approach, Dr. Corinne Pearson ensures every extraction is performed with precision and care. Whether you need a simple extraction or a more complex surgical procedure, we take every step to minimize discomfort and promote fast healing.


Our goal is to make the experience stress-free and pain-free. We use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure and provide clear aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. You’ll never feel rushed — just supported and cared for every step of the way.


Reasons You Might Need a Tooth Extraction


There are several reasons a tooth might need to be removed, including:


  • Severe Decay: When a cavity has damaged too much of the tooth to repair with a filling or crown.

  • Infection or Abscess: When bacteria reach the pulp and root of the tooth, posing a risk to nearby teeth.

  • Crowding or Orthodontic Preparation: Sometimes, extractions are necessary to create space for proper alignment.

  • Impacted Teeth: Common with wisdom teeth that don’t have enough room to fully emerge.

  • Broken or Fractured Teeth: When a tooth is cracked below the gumline and cannot be saved.

Dr. Pearson carefully evaluates your condition and recommends extraction only when absolutely necessary — always with your comfort and long-term health in mind.

What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction


At Pearson Family Dentistry, our extraction process is designed to be quick, comfortable, and worry-free.


Consultation and Imaging:

Dr. Pearson begins with a full exam and digital X-rays to determine the best treatment approach.


Comfort and Anesthesia:

Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. Patients who feel anxious can discuss additional comfort options before treatment.


Gentle Tooth Removal:

Using modern techniques, Dr. Pearson gently loosens the tooth and removes it with minimal disruption to the surrounding tissue. If needed, stitches are placed to aid healing.


Aftercare and Healing:

We’ll provide personalized post-op instructions, including how to manage minor swelling, care for the site, and what to eat during recovery. Most patients experience only mild discomfort that resolves within a few days.


Restorative Planning:

If the extracted tooth needs replacement, Dr. Pearson will review options such as dental implants, bridges, or partials to restore your smile’s appearance and function.
