Gentle Tooth Extractions in North Carolina
At CarolinasDentist, We Provide Gentle Tooth Extractions
Gentle Dental Extractions
Sometimes, a tooth extraction is necessary because you need to preserve your dental health. This could be because of severe infection from decay, serious damage from an injury, or overcrowding. We’ll look into all other options beforehand, but if you require an extraction, we’ll make sure you’re kept completely comfortable throughout the procedure and give you aftercare guidelines to ensure a speedy recovery. We’re also happy to discuss your tooth replacement options afterward as well. If you’re healthy enough for an extraction, chances are good that you’re healthy enough for a replacement. Contact us today!
How will I know if I need a dental extraction?
Our team practices conservative dentistry, so we try to reserve more invasive procedures like dental extractions for cases in which there are no better alternatives for the patient. There is really no way for patients to know if they need a dental extraction on their own, so if you are experiencing severe tooth pain or one or more teeth have been greatly damaged, we recommend scheduling a visit with our team so we can offer a custom diagnosis.
Can I return to work or school after a dental extraction?
Dental extractions are advanced surgical procedures, so patients should always plan to rest and recover post-treatment. You will likely not feel like doing too much, and too much activity too soon can cause complications with your healing process as well. The amount of time that you will need to take off from your normal routine will depend on how many teeth you are having extracted, and our team can help you estimate when you will be able to return to school and/or work.
What happens if I don’t get a dental extraction?
If a dental extraction is added to your treatment plan, we recommend scheduling your procedure sooner rather than later. If a tooth needs to be removed due to decay and dental trauma, you may experience unnecessary pain and discomfort, and an infection can develop. Teeth that are crowding each other can cause dental damage and orthodontic issues as well.
Still need to schedule your treatment? Please get in touch with our office, and we’ll be happy to assist.

Starlisa Lassiter7/28/2021I never really write reviews unless I receive horrible service or exceptional service. My visit with Dr. Baldwin and her assistant was exceptional. They were patient with my stubborn tooth and she told me everything she was doing and why. It was truly a positive experience.

Read MoreI was looking for a new dentist and called around to quite a few different places, when I called Carolina Dentist.. I ended up booking an appointment with them because the receptionist was friendly and helpful. When I went in for my appointment, the whole experience was excellent, friendly and welcoming staff and a very clean practice. Melissa cleaned my teeth and she did a great job, she removed all the plaque and stains without leaving me with sore gums ( which is rare for me ) she answered all my questions and was very friendly. I only saw Dr. Priya Raju for a few mins and she was also very friendly and helpful. This was also the first dentist I can remember going to that did not try to up sale me on anything. I’ve recommended Carolina Dentist in Cary to my family memebers and highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dentist. Read Less

Upon different options, I decided to give CarolinasDentist at the pointe a try. I don’t regret the decision. The front desk people, hygienists, and Dr. Lefeber are all amazing and fun to talk to. They make the process as simplistic as possible and the experience from start to finish is warm and welcoming. Would highly recommend. I recently moved to Leland but still willing to drive 20 minutes to get my teeth clean with these guys. Read Less

Everyone I came in contact here was really nice & polite. The equipment was top notch technology. They showed & went over everything with me even though I was the last appointment of the evening. We came up with a dental plan to treat my dental issues one at a time. Besides all of this my favorite was the later appointments after work and the massage chair. Could have stayed in that chair all night. Looking forward to them tackling my dental needs. Read Less
