Tooth extractions
When a tooth cannot be restored, we provide extraction care and help you plan what comes next.
Sometimes a tooth cannot be saved. When that happens, a careful extraction protects the rest of your mouth and opens the door to replacement options that fit your life.
We provide tooth extractions as part of oral surgery services in Peoria. We explain why removal is recommended, what to expect during the visit, and what comes next.
Simple and surgical extractions are done in our office.
After an extraction
Leaving a gap long-term can affect chewing and neighboring teeth. Common next steps include:
- Full or partial dentures, including implant-supported
- Dental implants for one or more teeth
We go over aftercare before you leave and give you written after-care instructions.
Comfort
We plan for your comfort before treatment begins. See sedation dentistry for how anxiety support is discussed.
IV sedation is provided by an outside sedation specialist who comes to our office.
Common questions
Answers in plain language. Your visit is the place for a plan that fits you.
When is an extraction recommended?
When a tooth cannot be reliably restored — due to fracture, advanced decay, or other problems — removal may be the healthier path. We explain alternatives first.
What replaces the tooth afterward?
Options can include a denture, bridge, or implant. We talk through what fits your goals and budget before you decide.
Can the extraction happen at my exam visit?
Sometimes yes, sometimes a separate visit is better. It depends on imaging, medical history, and complexity.
How should I care for the site afterward?
We go over aftercare before you leave and give you written after-care instructions.
