Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Teeth
Common Reasons for a Tooth Extraction
In Pain or Told You Need a Tooth Out?Most extractions come down to a tooth that can no longer be saved or one that is causing problems for the teeth around it. We always look at whether the tooth can be repaired first, and if removal is the right step, we explain why and guide you toward what comes next, whether that involves general dentistry, a replacement option, or wisdom teeth care.
Severe Tooth Decay
Decay too deep to fix with a filling or crown, where saving the tooth is no longer realistic.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
A tooth fractured below the gumline or damaged beyond what a restoration can rebuild.
Infection or Abscess
A painful infection at the root that has not settled with other treatment.
Advanced Gum Disease
Bone loss that has loosened a tooth to the point it can no longer be held in place.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth stuck below the gum that crowd, press on, or risk infecting nearby teeth.
Crowding Before Braces
Removing select teeth to make room for orthodontic treatment and proper alignment.
Failed Dental Work
A tooth with a failed root canal or restoration that cannot be predictably repaired again.
Problem Baby Teeth
Stubborn or damaged baby teeth that need help making room for healthy adult teeth.
Simple vs Surgical Tooth Extraction
Most extractions are simple and quick, while some teeth, especially impacted wisdom teeth or a tooth broken at the gumline, need a minor surgical approach. Both are routine for us, and both are done with your comfort and numbing in mind.

Wisdom Teeth Removal in South Indianapolis
Wisdom teeth often arrive with too little room to come in cleanly, which can lead to crowding, pain, or infection. Removing them early, before problems set in, usually means an easier procedure and a smoother recovery.
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth out, so we start with an exam and digital imaging to see how they are positioned. If they are impacted, partially through the gum, or pushing on neighboring teeth, removal is usually the safer long-term choice. We handle most wisdom teeth removals right here in our office, with sedation options to keep you comfortable throughout.
Aching or pressure at the back of your jaw
Swelling, tenderness, or redness around the gums

Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
Repeated infections or difficulty keeping the area clean

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Extractions
Having a tooth removed can feel stressful, especially when you are unsure what to expect or what it will cost. These frequently asked questions cover everything from same-day care to recovery, coverage, and replacement options, helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Questions About Tooth Extractions?Cost depends on whether it is a simple or surgical extraction and whether you have insurance. We give you a clear estimate before any treatment, accept Medicaid and most major plans, and offer financing through Cherry, Sunbit, and CareCredit so cost never stands in the way of care.
Yes. A broken tooth extraction is one of the most common procedures we handle, including teeth that have cracked at or below the gumline. We numb the area fully, remove the tooth gently, and talk through replacement options if you need one.
You should not feel pain during the procedure. We fully numb the area first and offer sedation options for surgical extractions and anxious patients. Most people feel pressure but not pain, and we send you home with a clear plan to stay comfortable while you heal.
A tooth extraction often costs less upfront, but replacing the tooth later with an implant or bridge can cost more over time. A root canal saves your natural tooth and is frequently the better long-term value. We help you weigh both before you decide.
Most simple extractions heal in a few days, while surgical and wisdom teeth removals take a bit longer. Following your aftercare instructions, resting, and protecting the area helps you heal faster and lowers the risk of complications.
Dry socket happens when the protective blood clot is lost too early, exposing the bone and causing throbbing pain a few days after surgery. Avoiding straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing helps prevent it. If it happens, call us and we will help right away.
Yes. We handle most wisdom teeth removals in our office, including impacted teeth, with sedation options for your comfort. A quick exam and imaging tell us whether yours need to come out.
Often, yes. If you are in pain or have a broken tooth, we offer same-day appointments and can frequently treat you during the same visit.
In many cases, yes. We accept Medicaid and will check your specific coverage before treatment so you know what to expect.
Stick to soft, cool foods like yogurt, smoothies, and mashed potatoes for the first day or two, and avoid chewing near the site. We give you a full aftercare guide before you leave.
Common options include a dental implant, a bridge, or a partial denture. The best choice depends on the tooth and your goals, and we will walk you through each one.
We accept Medicaid and most major insurance, offer financing through Cherry, Sunbit, and CareCredit, and have an in-house Global360 membership plan for patients without insurance.
