When is a tooth extraction necessary?

Tooth extractions are sometimes the best way to protect your long-term dental health.

We may recommend removing a tooth if you have:

Severe decay or infection that can’t be treated with a filling or root canal
A cracked or broken tooth below the gumline
Crowding or impacted teeth (common with wisdom teeth)
Advanced gum disease that has loosened teeth
Problematic wisdom teeth causing pain or shifting other teeth

When possible, we’ll always explore ways to save your natural tooth first, but if extraction is the best choice, we’ll walk you through every detail.

Wisdom tooth extractions in Buffalo Grove

Many people don’t have enough space for their wisdom teeth (third molars) to come in properly. When they become impacted or partially erupted, they can cause pain, infection, or crowding.

Dr. Simon offers gentle wisdom tooth extractions using local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure a smooth experience. We’ll evaluate your wisdom teeth through x-rays and determine if removal is necessary to protect your oral health.

FAQs

Does a tooth extraction hurt?

Our Buffalo Grove tooth extraction dentist numbs the area completely before beginning treatment. You may feel slight pressure, but not pain.

How long does it take to heal after a tooth removal?

Initial healing typically takes 3–5 days. Complete gum and bone healing may take a few weeks, depending on the type of extraction.

What should I eat after my extraction?

Stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, and soups for the first few days. Avoid crunchy, spicy, or hot foods until your mouth feels better.

Will I need a replacement for my extracted tooth?

If a tooth (other than a wisdom tooth) is removed, we may recommend a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture to maintain your smile and prevent shifting teeth.
