At Dieterlen Dental in Tulsa, OK, we understand that dental extractions can be a source of anxiety for some patients. Our experienced team of dentists and oral surgeons prioritize your comfort and well-being, providing gentle and efficient exodontia procedures when necessary for your oral health.
There are several reasons why a tooth might need to be extracted:
When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be restored with a filling or crown, extraction may be the best option.
Advanced gum disease (periodontal disease) can damage the bone and tissues supporting a tooth, necessitating its removal.
Impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth, can cause pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth and may need to be extracted.
If teeth are overcrowded, extracting one or more teeth can create space for proper alignment and orthodontic treatment.
A tooth that is severely fractured or damaged beyond repair may need to be extracted.
This type of extraction is performed on a tooth that is visible above the gumline. It involves loosening the tooth with an instrument called an elevator and then removing it with forceps.
This type of extraction is performed on a tooth that is broken, below the gumline, or impacted. It involves making an incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth and may require the removal of bone or sectioning of the tooth.

We strive to make your tooth extraction experience as comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect:
We’ll assess your oral health, review your medical history, and discuss your specific concerns to determine if an extraction is the right course of action.
We’ll administer local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring a pain-free procedure. For more complex extractions, such as impacted tooth removal, we may offer sedation dentistry options for your comfort.
Using specialized instruments, we’ll gently loosen and remove the tooth from its socket.
We’ll provide detailed instructions on caring for the extraction site, managing any discomfort, and promoting proper healing.
