Not All Teeth Deserve to Stay

When decay, trauma, or gum disease damage a tooth beyond repair, the dentist may recommend removing it. Extracting a problem tooth can stop pain, protect nearby teeth, and prevent the spread of infection. We also remove teeth that block orthodontic treatment or interfere with your bite.

The dentist always explores options first and only suggests extraction when necessary for your health.

Common Reasons We Recommend Extractions

Tooth removal solves several problems. You might need an extraction if:

  • You have severe decay that reaches the root
  • A tooth broke below the gum line
  • Gum disease has loosened your tooth
  • You need space for braces or aligners
  • Your wisdom teeth crowd your teeth or cause pain
  • A baby tooth overstays its welcome

When Wisdom Teeth Get Wise to Go

Wisdom teeth often cause more harm than good. These third molars typically appear in your late teens or early twenties. When they grow at an angle or get stuck under the gums, they cause swelling, infection, and pressure.

The dentist checks your X-rays to track the position of your wisdom teeth and decides whether removal is the best choice. We remove most wisdom teeth right in our office with comfort-focused care.

The Gentle Art of Tooth Removal

Our team treats dental extractions with care and precision. The dentist numbs the area completely before starting the procedure. We loosen the tooth and remove it in one piece for simple extractions. For surgical extractions, we may make a small incision in the gum or section the tooth into parts.

We use advanced instruments to protect nearby teeth, tissue, and bone during removal.

No Stress, No Surprises: What to Expect

We walk you through the process before your appointment so you know what to expect. On the day of your extraction, we:

  • Numb the tooth and the surrounding area
  • Carefully remove the tooth
  • Place gauze to stop bleeding
  • Review aftercare instructions with you or your caregiver
  • Schedule a follow-up if needed

After the Pull: How to Heal Smoothly

Proper care helps your mouth heal quickly and reduces the chance of complications. Our staff provides detailed instructions before you leave.

Follow these steps for a smooth recovery:

  • Keep the gauze in place and bite down gently for a few half hours
  • Avoid straws, smoking, or forceful spitting for 24 hours
  • Eat soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, or smoothies
  • Use cold compresses to manage swelling
  • Take prescribed medication or over-the-counter pain relievers as directed

The Lowdown on Dry Socket

Dry socket can occur if the blood clot that forms after extraction becomes dislodged. This leaves the bone exposed and causes significant pain. The dentist takes steps to reduce this risk, and we explain exactly how to protect the extraction site.

If you feel intense pain a few days after your procedure, contact us right away. We can apply a medicated dressing to relieve discomfort and promote healing.

What About Tooth Replacement?

Once we remove a tooth, we want to help you restore your bite. Depending on your goals, budget, and oral health, the dentist may recommend dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures.

We guide you through timing, costs, and results so you feel confident about your next step.

My whole family goes here because the doctors and staff are amazing! Dr. G did my filling, I love how they’re so thorough!! My teeth feel so cleaned and new! LOL. I also want to mention how great their staff are, They also have a mini play area on the front which is so helpful for families with kids! THANK Y’ALL! So grateful to be care for here! 

The staff is so friendly, very easy to schedule, they do beautiful work!  Dr. G is my go-to dentist there. She’s the best!!!!!

Dr G is the best dentist I have found since moving to Dallas. I always feel at ease when I am getting work done and I fully trust her with teeth.

She is great at explaining everything to me and ensures I have the best treatment possible. You can tell she truly cares about her patients and the work that she does.

Excellent experience. Staff and Dr. G were very informative explaining my options and what to expect during the process of my treatment. Excellent Experience. My dentist Dr. G is informative, excellent practitioners and professional in resolving my issue. Hats off to you guys “Issue Resolved”.

My son has special needs and requires more time, patience and attention than a typical person. This practice and Dr. G were amazing with him and we cannot thank them enough. Instead of dreading his next cleaning, I’m looking forward to it.  Thank you guys so much!

Everyone is so friendly and kind.  Miriam and Dr. G are wonderful!  I go here for cleanings, checkups, and they did a beautiful job on my crowns.  If you have dental anxiety like me, go here and ask for Miriam and Dr G.  The rest of the staff is great too and make scheduling or rescheduling appointments easy.  Highly recommend!!!

I am very happy with the work that Dr G and Nicolette has been doing on my teeth. They conduct themselves in a highly professional manner, always smile with a worm greeting that gives me confidence in their work. They make me feel important. That my friends, is what great services is all about. I think the Family Dentistry is the best for your dental work.

I never thought I would be writing a review about a dentist, but this place is awesome! Dr G has helped me overcome my fear of dentists. She is kind, patient, and makes me laugh.  I am shocked at how relaxed I am in her chair and how effortlessly she works. I have never experienced this with another dentist.

“I have been visiting this dental since over a year, and I definitely highly recommend it, especially DR. G, she is a professional, and does her job well.”

“The staff is so sweet! Dr. G is so efficient and has great bedside manner. I’m glad I chose them as my new dentist office.”

Gadusu (DR. G)was absolutely genuine breaking everything down giving me the best recommendations for my oral care! She even did a follow up next day call after my tooth extraction. The Dental assistant that did my X-rays that was by her side was very helpful and nice as well. I highly recommend for anyone kids – to adults!

“This was my daughter’s first visit with Canyon Creek and she enjoyed it very much. She had a cleaning done and said it’s been her most enjoyable visit. Thank you Dr G!”

“Dr. G is knowledgeable and personable. They were willing to help me on cost.”
