Rest assured, Dr. Rafferty focuses on saving your natural teeth whenever possible. Procedures like root canals and gum disease treatment can restore your smile to health. However, other times, an infection is too severe and puts your other teeth at risk. You may also need an extraction performed if you are pursuing treatments like dentures or implants.
If you need a tooth extraction, our team will ensure you feel comfortable every step of the way. We will:
- Numb your mouth, so you don’t feel a thing during a removal
- Use advanced technology, like digital X-rays and CBCT scans, to plan your procedure
- Offer blankets and pillows if you want comfort items to help you relax
- Explain what’s involved, so there are no surprises
- Answer any questions or concerns to ensure you feel comfortable moving forward
Once your tooth has been removed, Dr. Rafferty will explore your restoration options or proceed with the remainder of your treatment plan. Our practice offers teeth replacements like dental bridges or implant crowns. We also have full-arch tooth replacement, including traditional dentures, implant dentures, and All-on-4 dental implants.

Common Questions About Tooth Removal
Even for a routine procedure like a tooth extraction, it is difficult to quote a price without first seeing you in our office. During your initial visit, we’ll examine your mouth and take X-rays to develop a plan for removing your tooth or teeth. Once we have more specific details, we can give you an accurate cost for your tooth removal.
For most standard tooth removals, you can expect the extraction site to heal in about seven to 10 days. You can play a big role in the actual healing time, however. Following your aftercare instructions and limiting your physical exertion for a few days will help you heal faster and more comfortably.
It’s usually best to keep a tooth in place as long as possible. However, if a tooth is too diseased or damaged to save with a restorative procedure like a root canal or dental crown, we will suggest removal. Sometimes teeth need to be removed to make room for dentures or other restorations. We may also recommend extraction prior to orthodontic treatment.
