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.

Read MoreMy husband was in extreme pain due to his wisdom teeth coming out. Every other place we called there was a 2 week wait. Susan was amazing she was able to squeeze us in to see dr Chris. The staff there is so friendly. My husband was nervous about the sedation but Kristin did a phenomenal job easing his mind. Everyone made us feel comfortable. And did I mention the surgery only took 30 minutes for all 4 teeth !!! Dr Chris is the best. 11 out of 10 wouldn’t recommend my friends and family to anyone else Read Less

It is a very clean and modern office with some really cool gadgets. The front desk staff was very welcoming and it just got better from there. My first visit was with the wonderful Deedy and Dr. Olivia. They were so pleasant and thorough. They explained in detail what was going on and any recommendations. Because of this and knowing that my mouth most definitely needs help lol I was very happy to do whatever they suggested. Going over financials for suggested procedures was very smooth. I went back for a couple of fillings and to have my wisdom teeth pulled with Dr. Chris. My consult before the extractions with Kristin (she is also fantastic) and Dr. Chris was great. Again super nice and they broke down everything that would happen to put me at ease. I have future appointments already scheduled (fillings and Invisalign) and look forward to going back. Seriously, who looks forward to going to the Dentist? lol Did I mention that their playlist was great? Highly recommend. Read Less
