Why Tooth Extraction is Necessary

Tooth extraction is a critical procedure to safeguard your oral health and overall well-being. When a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or impacted, extraction is often the best course of action to prevent pain, infection, or complications like misalignment. This treatment may also be essential for addressing advanced gum disease or preparing for orthodontic procedures, ensuring a healthier, more confident smile.

Signs You May Need a Tooth Removal

Persistent tooth pain that doesn’t improve with treatment

Visible decay or damage that cannot be repaired

Swelling or sensitivity in the affected area

Difficulty chewing or discomfort while eating

Loose teeth due to advanced gum disease

Jaw pain, or crowding, caused by impacted wisdom teeth

Our Tooth Extraction Process

Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure often needed to treat severe tooth decay or damage beyond repair. After the procedure, it’s essential to care for the extraction site to avoid complications like dry socket, which can occur if the blood clot protecting the area is dislodged. An oral surgeon or dentist typically performs the extraction using a local anesthetic to numb the gum tissue and ensure a pain-free experience. Following the extraction, patients are advised to eat soft foods and follow all aftercare instructions carefully.

At Pape Dental Centre on Danforth, we make the tooth extraction process comfortable and stress-free with a patient-centred approach. Here are the steps we take to get you more acquainted with the process and know what to expect when you visit.

Examination and X-rays

We perform a thorough assessment, including X-rays if necessary, to evaluate the tooth and surrounding area.

Treatment discussion and anesthesia options

We explain your treatment options, review sedation methods, and walk you through the procedure.

Local anesthesia

The area is fully numbed with local anesthesia, and sedation is provided if requested for comfort.

Tooth loosening and removal

The tooth is carefully extracted with forceps for simple cases or surgical techniques for complex ones.

Socket cleaning and stitches if needed

The socket is cleaned thoroughly to remove debris, and stitches are placed if needed to support healing.

Aftercare instructions

Our dentist gently rocks the tooth using specialized tools to loosen it from the socket and ligaments.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was really nervous having a molar removed today. Dr Shahrbandi speaks so calmly which helps me relax. He talks you through the procedure while making sure you feel no pain, and before I knew it, it was over. I couldn’t believe how quick it and painless it was, I laughed in disbelief while asking if it was really over. He’s very caring. So happy he’s my dentist.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough good things about this dental clinic!
Ildi is my favourite hygienist! She is so gentle, empathetic, and truly caring. I used to never want to go for cleanings until I went to her. When she would inadvertently hit a sensitive spot (causing me to jump or tense up), she would stop and gently stroke my cheek. Super soothing. Then she would move on to next tooth, instead of acting as though I was being silly.
Then there's Dr Sima. Such a gentle dentist! And so good at taking care of me and my teeth.
Then there's dr Sasan. He has performed 2 extractions for me, and both times, upon completion, I was saying "what? That's it???" The needles for freezing are painless, for the most part (I'm extremely sensitive, if you haven't guessed), and extraction? Pulling teeth? Seriously 30 mins from freezing needle to out the door! And no pain! And the healing is so quick!
I want to tell everyone to go t this dental clinic, while wanting to keep them all to myself. Because they are so excellent

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had fillings done and this is the first time I could walk out of my appointment feeling like I didn’t have a procedure! Dr Sasan was so gentle and made me feel calm all the way through. Accompanied by excellent and friendly staff Laura helped me feel relaxed and like I was in safe hands (I get extremely nervous at the dentist) - and I was!
Side note: Ildiko is an awesome hygienist!
Thank you team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I  had a wisdom tooth extraction, and I can’t thank my dentist ( Dr. Sasan )  enough for how smoothly everything went. The tooth was in bad shape and difficult to remove, but Dr. Sasan was incredibly skilled, calm, and patient throughout the entire procedure.
He made sure I was comfortable at every step and constantly checked to ensure I wasn’t feeling any pain. His gentle and reassuring approach made a stressful situation so much easier. I really appreciated how professional yet kind he was the whole time.
If you’re nervous about dental procedure, I highly recommend this clinic and Dr.Sasan . You’ll be in very capable and caring hands!
I also had a great experience with my dental hygienists ( Rose and also Hengameh) .
They were both kind, calm, and very gentle, which made the whole appointments comfortable and stress-free. They were also highly professional and attentive. I truly appreciated their care.

FAQs

How much does tooth extraction cost on Danforth?

A simple extraction ranges from $180 to $700, depending on the procedure’s complexity or if a surgical treatment is needed. Additional services like sedation or X-rays may also have separate fees. We recommend contacting our office for a personalized estimate and to discuss insurance or payment plans.

Do you offer sedation for tooth extraction in Greektown?

Yes, we offer sedation options to ensure a comfortable and anxiety-free tooth extraction experience. For most procedures, we use local anesthesia to numb the area. However, if the patient has dental anxiety or undergoes surgical extractions, we provide nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) for mild sedation. This allows them to remain relaxed yet able to drive home afterward. Discuss your preferences with our team during your consultation to determine the best option for you.

How do I know if I really need a tooth pulled or if it can be saved?

This is what we’re here for! Our team determines whether a tooth needs to be pulled or can be saved through a thorough examination, when other treatments like root canals, crowns, or fillings are not viable options for saving the tooth. For example, if a root canal is not feasible due to extensive damage or reinfection, extraction may be the best choice.

Can I replace the missing tooth later? What options do you offer?

Yes, you can replace a missing tooth later. At Pape Dental Centre, we offer several options to restore your smile and oral function. Our replacement options are dental Implants, fixed dental bridges, and partial dentures. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the best solution based on your oral health, budget, and aesthetic goals.

Will I bleed a lot if I get a dental extraction on apixaban?

There is a higher risk of bleeding. Your dentist may use special techniques to manage it.

Is it safe to get a tooth pulled while taking methotrexate?

It can be, but it depends on your dose and condition. Always tell your dentist if you’re using methotrexate.

Is it risky to get a tooth pulled while on bisphosphonates?

Yes, there’s a small risk of a serious jaw issue called osteonecrosis. That’s why it’s important to tell your dentist.
