Expert Tooth Extraction in Kansas City, MO

Tooth extraction involves carefully removing a tooth from its socket when preservation is no longer the best option. Whether due to severe decay, infection or trauma, timely dental extractions prevent further complications and maintain overall oral health. Emergency tooth extractions are available for cases causing pain or infection that require immediate attention.

Our team prioritizes patient comfort by using local anesthesia and offering nitrous (laughing gas) and oral sedation options for a stress-free procedure. Our post-care treatment and guidelines ensure a smooth recovery and reduce discomfort and the risk of complications. If you need an emergency tooth extraction in Kansas City, we are ready to assist with same-day treatment options.

  • How long does it take for a tooth extraction to heal?

    Healing usually takes about one to two weeks, depending on the complexity of the extraction and individual healing factors. Proper aftercare, including rest and good oral hygiene, promotes faster recovery.

  • How can I prevent dry sockets after my tooth extraction?

    Avoid drinking through straws, smoking or vigorous rinsing for at least 48 hours after your dental extraction. Follow your dentist’s instructions and keep the area clean to reduce the risk of dry sockets.

  • When is a tooth extraction necessary?

    Tooth removal is necessary when a tooth is too damaged from decay, trauma or infection to be saved. It may also be required for overcrowding or to prepare for orthodontic treatment.
