Tooth Extractions in Oregon & SW Washington
Relieve your pain and get your tooth gently removed
Extractions with gentle care
If you’re experiencing tooth pain or suspect you need an extraction in Oregon & SW Washington, our team at Roots Dental is here to help. We take a conservative approach, only recommending extractions when necessary. Our dentists focus on gentle, effective care to relieve discomfort, maintain your oral health, and create a plan to restore your smile moving forward.
When is tooth extraction necessary?
While our primary goal is to save and restore teeth whenever possible, there are situations where removing a tooth is the best option for your overall oral health. Extractions may be recommended for:
- Severe tooth decay or damage beyond repair
- Advanced periodontal disease
- Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
- Impacted or painful wisdom teeth
- Infection or risk of infection
At Roots Dental, we perform most extractions in-house, so you don’t need to visit an unfamiliar specialist. Our experienced dentists ensure a smooth and stress-free procedure.
Our approach to extractions
We prioritize patient comfort and use modern techniques to ensure a smooth experience. If you have anxiety about your procedure, we offer sedation options to help you relax:
- Nitrous oxide sedation – A mild form of sedation that helps ease anxiety during your procedure.
- Oral conscious sedation – A prescribed medication taken before your appointment for deeper relaxation.
- IV sedation – A controlled sedation method that provides the highest level of comfort.
After your extraction, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to support proper healing and minimize discomfort. Most patients manage post-procedure soreness with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Do you need to replace a missing tooth?
If a tooth extraction is planned, we can discuss replacement options before the procedure to minimize the time you have a gap in your smile. Our dental implant center offers solutions customized to fit your needs:
- Dental implants – A long-lasting, natural-looking solution.
- Fixed dental bridges – A non-removable option that blends seamlessly with your teeth.
- Partial or complete dentures – Custom-made to restore your smile and function.
