One Easy Way to Get Started
Get Out of Pain with Tooth Removal
An extraction means removing a tooth that’s causing ongoing problems, whether it’s severely decayed, infected, or a wisdom tooth that hasn’t fully come in. Dr. Bouz walks you through exactly what’s happening, so the process feels straightforward from start to finish.
Most Extractions, Done Right Here
Most extractions, including most wisdom teeth, happen right in the office, so you get relief without a separate specialist visit.
Every Step Explained in Plain Language
Dr. Bouz knows extractions are the procedure patients worry about most, so he takes it slow and explains what’s happening and why at every step.
Comfort Built Into Every Visit
Dr. Bouz numbs the area fully and checks that you’re numb before he starts. If it hurts, he stops, and laughing gas is available if you feel anxious.
Financing & Insurance
Making It Work Financially
We accept most major insurance plans, so call or email to verify your coverage. For patients without insurance, Dental Prime Membership covers two annual exams, two cleanings, and routine X-rays for $375 a year, plus 15% off any restorative work. Financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit, and Alphaeon is available for larger treatment costs.
What Happens When You Remove a Problem Tooth
Removing a tooth that’s causing trouble does more than stop the pain. It also gives you these benefits:
- It stops pain at its source
- For impacted or crowded wisdom teeth, it relieves pressure and protects the teeth around them
- Once the problem tooth is gone, you’re clear to explore next steps like a bridge or dental implant whenever you’re ready
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth often need to come out when they’re impacted, crowded, or growing at an angle instead of coming in straight. Dr. Bouz handles most wisdom tooth extractions right here in the office, so you get relief without a separate visit. If your case turns out to be more complex, like a wisdom tooth positioned near the sinus, Dr. Bouz refers you to a trusted specialist so you get the safest care possible.
When It’s Time to Choose an Extraction
An extraction is worth considering if any of these sound like you:
- You have a tooth that’s too damaged or infected to restore
- You’re dealing with impacted or crowded wisdom teeth
- You need a tooth removed to make room for orthodontic treatment
- You’ve gotten an extraction recommendation elsewhere and want a second opinion before moving forward
