Safe and comfortable removal of damaged, decayed, or impacted teeth, including wisdom teeth.
• Eliminates sources of chronic pain or recurring infection.
• Prevents crowding or damage to neighboring healthy teeth.
• Performed with local anesthesia and optional sedation for a stress-free experience.
Patients with teeth that are too damaged to save, severely loose teeth, or teeth causing crowding or infection.
We ensure you are completely numb, gently loosen and remove the tooth, and provide detailed, easy-to-follow aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery.
While we always strive to save your natural teeth, sometimes an extraction is the safest and healthiest option. At Advanced Dental Care, we perform gentle, precise tooth extractions to eliminate chronic pain, remove severe infection, or clear the way for orthodontic or restorative treatments.
Our Toledo team prioritizes your comfort, utilizing advanced local anesthesia and optional sedation to ensure a completely painless experience. We employ minimally invasive techniques to preserve your surrounding bone and tissue, paired with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth, rapid recovery.
1. Exam & Digital Imaging
We take targeted X-rays to assess the tooth’s root structure and surrounding bone, allowing us to plan the safest and most efficient extraction approach.
2. Numbing & Sedation
We thoroughly numb the tooth and surrounding area. If you feel anxious, we also discuss sedation options to keep you completely relaxed and comfortable.
3. Gentle Loosening & Removal
Using specialized instruments, we gently widen the tooth socket and carefully remove the tooth with minimal disruption to your surrounding tissues.
4. Site Cleaning & Protection
We clean the extraction site of any debris and may place a few dissolving stitches to help the gums heal and protect the blood clot.
5. Recovery Instructions & Aftercare
We place gauze over the site to control bleeding and provide you with a comprehensive, easy-to-follow aftercare guide to ensure a fast, complication-free healing process.
Saving your natural tooth maintains your bite and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting. It’s almost always the best choice for your oral health.
You’ll be numb during the procedure. Afterward, any discomfort is manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers.
We offer several sedation options, ranging from local anesthesia to IV sedation, which allows you to sleep through the entire procedure.
Most patients experience swelling and mild discomfort for 3 to 4 days. Stick to soft foods, avoid straws, and rest. Full healing takes a few weeks.
You might need them removed if they are impacted, coming in at an awkward angle, causing pain, or creating crowding. We evaluate this using a 3D scan or X-ray.
Your comfort and healing are our top priorities. After your extraction:• Bite firmly on the gauze pad for 30–45 minutes to help a blood clot form.• Avoid rinsing, spitting, or using a straw for the first 24 hours to protect the clot.• Stick to soft foods and apply ice packs to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling.• Take any prescribed medications exactly as directed, and call us if you have any concerns.
