Tooth Extractions in Tulsa

When a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or poses a risk to your oral health, a professional tooth extraction may be the most effective solution. At Dental Surgical Arts of Tulsa, we specialize in both simple and surgical tooth extractions with a focus on comfort, precision, and long-term oral health.

Our experienced team, including Dr. Brent Burchard and Dr. Jordan Pierce, performs extractions using modern surgical techniques and advanced sedation options—making even complex removals stress-free and efficient.

While we always aim to preserve natural teeth, certain conditions may make extraction the healthiest option. These include:

• Severe tooth decay or infection
  
  
• Advanced gum disease causing bone loss
  
  
• Fractured or broken teeth beyond repair
  
  
• Impacted or overcrowded wisdom teeth
  
  
• Orthodontic preparation
  
  
• Failed root canal treatments
  
  
• Trauma or injury to the tooth

Extractions may also be part of a broader treatment plan involving bone grafting or dental implants.

At Dental Surgical Arts of Tulsa, we offer:

• Simple Extractions: Performed when the tooth is fully visible and easily accessible.
  
  
• Surgical Extractions: Needed for broken, impacted, or unerupted teeth—often involving gum tissue or bone removal.
  
  
• Wisdom Tooth Removal: Common for teens and adults when third molars cause crowding, pain, or infection.

If you are in pain, we also offer emergency dental services for urgent tooth extractions.

Patients choose our Tulsa dental surgery center for:

• Experienced Specialists: Dr. Burchard and Dr. Pierce have extensive training in oral surgery and extractions.

What to Expect During and After Your Extraction

Here’s how the process typically works:

• Initial Consultation: We'll review your health history, take necessary x-rays, and discuss your treatment plan.
  
  
• Procedure: You’ll receive local anesthesia and optional sedation. The tooth is carefully removed with minimal discomfort.
  
  
• Post-Op Recovery: We provide detailed care instructions to promote healing and avoid complications like dry socket.

For patients requiring future restorations, we may place a bone graft immediately after extraction to preserve jawbone structure.

FAQs: Tooth Extractions in Tulsa

1. Do tooth extractions hurt?: With local anesthesia and optional sedation, you’ll feel little to no pain during the procedure. Most patients report mild soreness afterward.
   
   
2. How long does it take to heal after an extraction?: Most recover in 7–10 days for simple extractions. Surgical removals like wisdom teeth may take up to two weeks.
   
   
3. What is dry socket and how can I avoid it?: Dry socket occurs when the blood clot at the extraction site dislodges. Avoid smoking, using straws, or heavy rinsing in the days following surgery.
   
   
4. Will I need a bone graft after tooth removal?: In many cases—especially if you plan on getting a dental implant—a bone graft is recommended to preserve jaw volume.
