Dental Extractions & Wisdom Teeth Removal in Coconut Creek
Types of Extractions:
Simple Dental Extraction
This procedure is for teeth that are visible in the mouth. General dentists typically perform it using local anesthesia to loosen and remove the tooth.
Surgical Extraction
A surgical extraction is more complex and is used for teeth that are
broken below the gum line or have not yet erupted. Oral surgeons usually
handle these procedures, but general dentists can perform them as well.
Patients may receive local anesthesia or, in some cases, general
anesthesia.
Aftercare
If the extracted tooth is not replaced with a dental implant, the
surrounding bone may begin to recede after six months. For more details,
visit our Dental Implant page.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Not all wisdom teeth need extraction, but it’s crucial for teens to have them routinely checked. Wisdom teeth often emerge between ages 17-21 and can become impacted due to lack of space. This can lead to pain and complications, making removal advisable in many cases.
We assess your medical history, examine your teeth, and take X-rays to determine if removal is necessary. If extraction is needed, our team is here to help manage any anxiety you may have.
For some, medication and monitoring may be enough to keep wisdom teeth. The best way to know for sure is to schedule an early examination at our office.
FAQ
1. When is a tooth extraction necessary?
A tooth extraction may be needed if a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, infected, or causing crowding. At Dental Team, we always aim to preserve natural teeth whenever possible and only recommend extraction when necessary.

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties. They are often removed if they become impacted, cause pain, or affect the alignment of other teeth. Dental Team evaluates each case to determine if removal is the best option.

Extractions are performed with local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for added comfort. At Dental Team, we ensure the procedure is as gentle and pain-free as possible.

Most patients recover within a few days, although complete healing may take a couple of weeks. Dental Team provides detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.
5. What should I do after a tooth extraction?
After an extraction, it’s important to rest, avoid strenuous activity, follow a soft diet, and keep the area clean. Dental Team will guide you through proper aftercare to prevent complications and promote healing.
