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.

My first visit was extremely good! Everybody treated me as an old friend! I did my regular cleaning and I’m scheduled to come back for a whitening treatment which I think is suuper affordable! Love them already.

From the door, the front desk staff was Awesome they saved my spot, when most places cancel after 15 min but they still seen me. Paulina was my saving grace , she was able to take my anxiety from 100 to 0, I was able to do my xrays and get my treatment plan, the hygienist was great and gentle , Dr. V was awesome as well with explaining everything to me. I would recommend anyone that has dental anxiety to go here and give them a try. The drive 50 minutes to get there was more than worth it for me. I feel better and I now know I can get the treatment I need. Thank you Carolina Dentist for helping me feel okay and comfortable. The caring and compassion here for their patients are great!! Megan also broke down all prices for me!! Awesome as well !! Read Less

Read MoreHaving had multiple procedures in a weeks time frame is daunting, to say the least. Dr. Langley and his staff are absolutely wonderful! They have gone the extra mile to make my procedures more like visiting with old friends. It's always a joy to check in and receive treatment. You are not a number there, they remember your name, they actually listen, explain and allow you to be a part of your treatment plan.As a medical professional myself, I can be judgemental when it comes to who I want taking care of me. I would highly recommend Dr. Langley and his team to anyone who is apprehensive about dental care. Dental health has a huge affect on our emotional and physical well being. I trust Dr. Langley and his team.. They most definitely have helped my self esteem by giving me my smile back. Read Less

JoAnna Martin4/01/2025My first visit with CarolinasDentist was pleasant. My hygienist, my assistant and my doctor were all very knowledgeable and caring. But best of all was the front desk person, she was the first impression of the office and she was very easy and pleasant. Keep up the good works.

Read MoreDefinitely my new dentistI called three different dental offices and even visited one in person, but none would take me as an emergency walk-in, except for this facility.The staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the dental hygienist was both kind and informative.I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. William Graham, who was absolutely outstanding. He was patient, took the time to address my concerns, and conducted a thorough examination. He provided me with several options for addressing my dental issue.I realize I may have taken up more time than usual, but I never felt rushed. He patiently answered all my questions and listened carefully to my worries. After being with my previous dentist for the last decade, I’ve found a new place to call my dental home. They were able to see me right away, and with four doctors on staff, I won’t have to wait a month for an emergency appointment again.I'm really grateful that they could accommodate me today, and I would highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of dental care.Earlene R Petite Read Less
