Gentle, Stress-Free Removal When a Tooth Can’t Be Saved

Sometimes a tooth becomes too damaged, infected, or impacted to save — and when that happens, extraction may be the best step toward protecting your long-term oral health. At EverySmile Dental Riverview, we provide tooth extractions in Riverview FL with a gentle, patient-first approach that prioritizes your comfort every step of the way.

Led by Dr. Seth H. McDuffie, DMD, our team uses modern techniques, local anesthesia, and sedation options when needed to ensure your extraction experience is safe, smooth, and pain-free.

Tooth Extractions in Riverview, FL

When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?

We always strive to preserve natural teeth whenever possible. However, extraction may be recommended if:

  • The tooth is badly decayed or infected
  • The tooth is broken below the gumline
  • There's advanced bone loss due to gum disease
  • A baby tooth is preventing permanent tooth eruption
  • You're preparing for dentures or dental implants
  • You're experiencing pain or pressure from wisdom teeth

After an exam and digital imaging, we’ll explain all options and help you make the best decision for your health.

Types of Tooth Extractions We Offer

Simple Extractions

Used when a tooth is fully erupted and can be removed easily. This is common for teeth that are decayed, loose, or fractured above the gumline.

Surgical Extractions

Required for teeth that are broken below the surface, impacted, or not fully erupted — such as wisdom teeth. Surgical extractions are performed in-office with local anesthesia and optional oral conscious sedation.

Tooth Extraction Process

Here’s what to expect when undergoing a tooth extraction at EverySmile Dental:

  1. Consultation & X-rays – We assess the tooth’s condition and review your health history.
  2. Anesthesia or Sedation – Local anesthetic numbs the area; sedation is available for anxiety or complex cases.
  3. Tooth Removal – We gently remove the tooth using modern, minimally invasive techniques.
  4. Post-Op Care – We’ll provide detailed instructions for pain control, healing, and socket care.

Your comfort is our top priority — before, during, and after the procedure.

Tooth Replacement After Extraction

Losing a tooth doesn’t mean you have to live with a gap. We offer several options to restore function and appearance, including:

We’ll discuss your replacement options during your consultation and help you plan your next steps after healing.

Recovery & Aftercare

Most patients recover within a few days. To promote proper healing, we recommend:

  • Biting gently on gauze to control bleeding
  • Avoiding smoking, drinking through straws, or vigorous rinsing
  • Eating soft foods for the first 24–48 hours
  • Taking prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication as directed

Let us know immediately if you experience prolonged bleeding, swelling, or signs of infection.

Question

Answer

Does a tooth extraction hurt?

With local anesthesia and gentle technique, most patients report little to no pain during the procedure. Mild soreness afterward is common and manageable.

How long does it take to recover?

Initial healing takes 3–5 days, but full gum recovery may take 1–2 weeks.

Can I go back to work the same day?

For simple extractions, many patients return to work the next day. For surgical cases or sedation, rest is recommended.

What if I don’t replace the extracted tooth?

Leaving a gap can lead to shifting teeth, bite problems, or bone loss. We’ll help you choose a replacement option that fits your needs.
