When a tooth is beyond saving, a professional extraction is the best way to protect your oral health. At Gregory L. Bryan, DDS, we provide expert tooth extraction services to address a variety of dental concerns, from severe decay to impacted wisdom teeth.

Why Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?


Extractions are often required when a tooth is:

  • Severely decayed or infected
  • Broken beyond repair
  • Impacted, such as wisdom teeth
  • Causing overcrowding or alignment issues

The Extraction Process

  1. Evaluation: We perform a thorough examination and X-rays to plan the extraction.
  2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area and ensure your comfort.
  3. Extraction: The tooth is carefully removed using advanced techniques to minimize trauma.
  4. Aftercare: Detailed post-extraction instructions are provided to support a smooth recovery.

Recovery and Care


After an extraction, follow these steps for a quick recovery:

  • Use an ice pack to reduce swelling.
  • Stick to soft foods and avoid using a straw.
  • Keep the area clean and avoid vigorous rinsing.
  • Follow up with your dentist if any complications arise.

"Big 5 STARS!! When I first saw Dr. Bryan I had a broken molar, a very unusual case I am told; where my molar broke of horizontally and not much was left to work with. I did my research and called several offices to find someone that could find a solution. When I saw Dr. Bryan I was assured and given more options than I thought possible. I am very pleased with the results."
