Tooth Extractions in Milford, MI

Why Would a Tooth Need to Be Extracted?

Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary when a tooth is too damaged or poses a risk to your oral health. Common reasons include severe decay, advanced gum disease causing loose teeth, or a tooth that is broken beyond repair.
Extractions may also be recommended to address crowding before orthodontic treatment or to remove impacted or painful wisdom teeth. Your dentist will evaluate your needs and ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible.

What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction

Step 1: Consultation & X-rays

We examine your tooth, take X-rays to evaluate its condition, and discuss your treatment options to ensure the safest and most effective extraction plan.

Step 2: Numbing & Sedation Options

We offer local anesthesia and sedation options to keep you relaxed and pain-free, ensuring maximum comfort throughout your tooth extraction procedure.

Step 3: Gentle Removal

We carefully extract the tooth using precise techniques that minimize trauma and help preserve the surrounding bone and tissues for a smoother recovery.

Step 4: Healing & Aftercare

We give you clear, personalized aftercare instructions to support fast healing, reduce discomfort, and lower the risk of complications after your extraction.

Most extractions are quick and painless with proper anesthesia!

What Happens After an Extraction?

After your extraction, we recommend replacing the missing tooth to prevent shifting and maintain proper bite alignment for long-term oral health and function.
Options include dental implants for a natural, permanent solution, bridges for fixed replacements, and dentures or partials for affordable restoration of multiple teeth.

"Very impressed with how many hours Michelle worked to get the medical (vs. dental) portion of my procedure covered by Medicare.  I didn't even know Medicare would cover some tooth-related procedures that involve a problem in the bone like infection, such as a root canal or the extraction of a tooth with placement of an implant. Very rare to find a dental office that will go through the trouble to get themselves, and then their patients, approved by Medicare. Medicare part B and my Medicare Supplemental insurance covered it all up through the implant; saved me thousands of dollars!  Thank you Michelle and doctor Fortson!"
