Tooth Extractions
If you have a tooth that's been damaged by accident or decay, Aesthetic Family Dentistry will always try to save and restore your tooth before suggesting an extraction. However, if the damage or decay proves too severe, we will ensure a gentle tooth extraction process. For problematic wisdom teeth, we'll work with you to avoid more serious dental health issues down the road.

Aesthetic Family Dentistry wants you to get out of pain and back to your daily life. Whether you need to remove a problematic wisdom tooth, prepare for a restorative or orthodontic treatment, or extract a tooth that's damaged or decayed, we can help make sure the process is smooth and gentle. We're proud to help Virginia Beach's smiles stay healthy, so simply reach out to us and see how our team can help you reclaim your confidence.
The Basics of Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is a simple procedure, only requiring about five minutes per tooth. The entire procedure can be performed under local anesthetic to ensure that your treatment at Aesthetic Family Dentistry is completely painless. After cleaning and numbing the area, our team will loosen and remove the tooth using specialized dental tools, and your gums will heal after about a week -- then you'll be back to your daily life. We even offer restorative solutions to replace your tooth after the healing process is complete.
Should Your Wisdom Teeth Be Extracted?
Because wisdom teeth erupt much later than the rest of your mature teeth, they often cause dental health issues including pain, infection, or overcrowding of your other teeth. Our team is happy to assess your wisdom teeth to determine whether they pose a threat to your oral health, and may suggest tooth extraction as a way to avoid more severe, costly issues later on.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Also known as impacted third molars, this problem occurs when wisdom teeth can't fully erupt because they are blocked by surrounding teeth. If your wisdom teeth are blocked from growing in correctly, it can cause pain and damage to adjacent teeth. In this situation, it's best to extract your wisdom teeth to avoid further pain and prevent causing problems with your other teeth.
Tooth Extraction Before Braces
Sometimes, patients may need to have teeth extracted before undergoing orthodontic treatment. If you want to straighten your teeth but have an issue with overcrowding, Dr. Saxton may suggest a tooth extraction as part of your personalized treatment plan. Set up a consultation to determine whether this is the right first step for you.
