Safe, Gentle Removal When a Tooth Cannot Be Saved
While preserving natural teeth is always our priority, there are times when a tooth extraction is the healthiest option. At Perfect Smile Dental Care, extractions are performed with precision and a focus on patient comfort, ensuring the procedure is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Our team—including Dr. Tasneem Nabelsi, Dr. Maissa Agha, and Dr. Adrien Hamedi—uses advanced techniques and modern anesthesia to minimize discomfort and promote faster healing.
When Tooth Extractions Are Recommended
A tooth extraction may be necessary in cases such as:
- Severe tooth decay that cannot be restored with a dental crown or filling
- Advanced gum disease that has damaged the supporting bone
- Significant tooth fracture extending below the gumline
- Impacted teeth causing pain or infection
- Preparation for orthodontic treatment when crowding is present
The Tooth Extraction Process
- Comprehensive Evaluation: We perform a visual exam and, if needed, digital X-rays to determine the tooth’s condition and plan the procedure.
- Local Anesthesia: The area around the tooth is numbed to ensure you are comfortable throughout.
- Tooth Removal: The tooth is gently loosened and removed with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.
- Post-Procedure Care: We provide instructions to help control swelling, reduce discomfort, and encourage proper healing.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients experience minimal discomfort after a tooth extraction when following our guidelines. Common recommendations include:
- Taking prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief as directed
- Applying ice packs to reduce swelling
- Avoiding hard or chewy foods for the first few days
- Maintaining gentle oral hygiene while avoiding the extraction site
- Attending follow-up appointments to monitor healing

Planning for Tooth Replacement
If your extraction leaves a gap in your smile, we may recommend replacing the missing tooth with dental implants, bridges, or other restorative options to maintain function and aesthetics. Planning for replacement as part of your treatment ensures the best long-term outcome. Be sure to review our post-op instructions after your extraction to promote proper healing and prepare for your next phase of care.
