Tooth Extractions in Houston, TX
Gentle removal when a tooth truly can't be saved, with a clear plan for healing and replacement before you leave.
What Are Tooth Extractions?
Sometimes Removal Is the Safest Move
Extractions protect your oral health when a tooth is causing pain, infection risk, or ongoing issues that won't improve on their own. Some patients need a tooth removed after advanced gum disease, while others need an extraction when a wisdom tooth is impacted and creating pressure.
A problem tooth can put the rest of your mouth at risk, so removing it early can prevent shifting, infection, and damage to nearby teeth and gums. We explain your options, keep you comfortable, and send you home with a clear plan for healing.

Reasons a tooth may need to come out
What Comes Next
Replacing the Tooth Afterward
Removing a tooth is rarely the end of the plan. We talk through replacement options at the same visit, so you know where things are heading.
A standalone replacement anchored in the jawbone, which keeps neighboring teeth untouched.
A fixed option that uses the teeth on either side of the gap for support.
A removable option that works well when several teeth need replacing at once.
Sometimes done the same day, to preserve the ridge shape if an implant is likely down the road.
Why Choose Dentiq Dentistry for Tooth Extractions
We only recommend removal when a tooth genuinely can't be saved. An exam and X-rays confirm what's going on first, and if there's a way to keep the tooth, we'll tell you about it before suggesting an extraction.
Comfort options are reviewed with you ahead of time, not decided on the spot. And because grafting and implant placement happen here too, we can protect the site and plan the replacement without sending you elsewhere.

The area is fully numbed first, so you feel pressure rather than pain during the procedure. We review numbing and sedation options with you beforehand.
An exam and X-rays show how much healthy structure is left and whether infection has spread. If a filling, crown, or root canal can still save it, that's what we recommend first.
Sometimes. If needed, we place a few small stitches after cleaning the area, then have you bite on gauze to control bleeding.
With local numbing only, yes. If sedation was used, you'll rest in recovery until you're ready and you'll need someone to drive you home.
Often, yes. Impacted teeth sit below the gumline and create pressure, so wisdom teeth removal is usually planned as its own procedure. Sedation is more commonly used, and IV sedation is available for eligible patients.
Before you leave, we walk you through clear aftercare instructions so you know exactly what to do next. Following them closely is the biggest factor in healing smoothly.
For most back and front teeth, replacing it prevents neighboring teeth from shifting into the gap. We'll discuss the options with you at the same visit rather than leaving you to figure it out later.
Extractions are commonly covered at least in part by most dental plans. Dentiq Dentistry works with most major PPO insurance plans and is happy to submit an itemized plan on your behalf.
