Gentle Tooth Extractions in North Carolina
At CarolinasDentist, We Provide Gentle Tooth Extractions
The Best Tooth Extraction Service
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.

I have LOTS of anxiety about going to the dentist and LOT of dental work I needed to get done. A previous office quoted me 60k and wanted to remove all of my teeth. I will never forget sitting down with Dr.Lauren for the first time and her looking me in the eye and saying, "If you were my sister, I wouldn't want to pull all of your teeth out" After my first visit, I have become an advocate for this office. Dr.Lauren, Dr.Chris, and every staff member made me feel comfortable. I am so happy I found this place. Read Less

donny balsamo1/15/2022Everyone at this clinic is great. I had a root canal done this morning and the procedure was painless. The dentist was so informative before the root canal, explaining the whole process. The office staff, dental assistants and dentists are very professional and very nice.

Read MoreI have visited many dentists in the area over the years but was searching for a new one (sadly I am a fearful patient). Dr. McDaniel was understanding of my apprehension, and while she recommended a crown for a broken molar, she honored my request to "patch" the broken tooth. She also used a different numbing medication (novocain has never worked for me), and for the first time in 50 years, I had NO PAIN. Because of this experience, I will absolutely keep up with my dental health and not just visit because I have a specific problem. The entire staff was very friendly. I am so relieved to have found a dentist who is actually willing to work with me without being condescending. Read Less

I saw Dr. Diskin to have a tooth looked at and she made me feel very comfortable and made me feel at ease. Her DA Evelyn was also very nice and was mindful of the fears that I had. Both ladies were easy going, easy to talk to, and understood my concerns. The appointment went by super quick and easy and I was very pleased with my experience. With that being said, this office is very clean and the front desk staff was very warm and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend. Read Less
