RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
When a Tooth Can't Be Saved, We Make It Simple
Extractions are sometimes the safest option — done gently, with a clear plan for what comes next.
SELF-CHECK
Is This You?
A dentist has told you a tooth is beyond saving
You have a severely broken, decayed, or infected tooth
You're experiencing pain that hasn't responded to other treatment
A wisdom tooth is causing pain or crowding
THE PROCESS
What's Involved
We assess the tooth first — extraction is only recommended when it’s genuinely the best option. The area is numbed, the tooth is removed, and we’ll give you clear aftercare instructions.
THE PAYOFF
Benefits
- Removes the source of pain or infection
- Prevents further damage to surrounding teeth or gums
- Often the fastest path to relief when a tooth can't be saved
Will It Hurt?
The area is fully numbed beforehand, so the procedure itself is generally painless. Some soreness afterward is normal and manageable with guidance we’ll provide.
Pricing
Pricing depends on the complexity of the extraction. Wisdom teeth cost more, a process called disimpaction.
Why Mile Dental
We only recommend extraction when it's genuinely necessary — we'll always explain if another treatment could save the tooth first.
FAQ
Common Questions
Will I need a replacement after extraction?
Depends on the tooth — we’ll discuss replacement options (crown, bridge, denture) if relevant to your case.
How long is recovery?
Most patients recover within a few days — we’ll give you specific aftercare guidance.
Is extraction always the only option?
No — we’ll always check if a filling or root canal could save the tooth first.
