Simple vs. surgical extraction
A simple extraction removes a tooth that has already come through the gum. It’s done with local anesthetic, usually takes 20–45 minutes, and most people are back to normal the next day.
A surgical extraction is needed when a tooth is broken at the gumline, impacted, or has curved roots. Dr. Ghattas makes a small opening in the gum to reach it. It takes longer — typically 45–90 minutes — but you’re numb throughout.
When a tooth needs to come out
Most extractions come down to one of these: decay too deep to restore with a filling or crown, a fracture below the gumline, advanced gum disease that has loosened the tooth, an impacted wisdom tooth, or crowding that’s blocking orthodontic treatment.
Extraction is the last option, not the first. If the tooth can be saved with a root canal or a crown, Dr. Ghattas will tell you that at the exam.
What your visit looks like
- Exam and x-ray. We check the tooth’s position and roots to plan the safest way to remove it.
- Numbing. Local anesthetic. You’ll feel pressure during the extraction, but not pain.
- The extraction itself. Usually faster than patients expect — 20 to 45 minutes for a simple case.
- Aftercare. You leave with gauze, written instructions, and a number to call if anything worries you.
Replacing the tooth
If the extracted tooth shows when you smile, or you’re having several removed, ask about replacement at the same visit. We offer dental implants and same-day dentures, so you don’t have to go without teeth while you heal.
What a tooth extraction costs
A simple extraction at AC Dental typically runs $150–$300 depending on the tooth. Surgical extractions cost more. We take most major dental insurance and offer payment plans — call (201) 489-1084 and we’ll check your coverage before you come in.
In pain right now?
