Tooth Extractions in Carrollwood, Tampa
While we always aim to save natural teeth, sometimes an extraction is the healthiest choice. At Phoenix Dental, we offer gentle, efficient tooth extractions when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to be restored. Our team ensures the process is as comfortable and stress-free as possible—from start to finish.
If you’re experiencing tooth pain, swelling, or suspect you need a dental extraction, we provide timely care for patients in Carrollwood, Northdale, Lake Magdalene, and throughout Tampa.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extractions are typically a last resort—but there are times when removing a tooth is the most effective way to protect your health and comfort. You may need an extraction if you have:
- Severe decay that can’t be repaired with a filling or crown
- A cracked or broken tooth below the gumline
- Advanced gum disease that’s loosened a tooth
- A dental infection or abscess
- Overcrowding in preparation for orthodontic treatment
- Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
We’ll always evaluate all your options and only recommend an extraction when necessary.
What to Expect During the Tooth Extraction Process
We prioritize your comfort during every step of the extraction procedure. Here’s what the process typically involves:
- Numbing the area with local anesthesia to prevent pain during the procedure
- Loosening the tooth gently with specialized instruments
- Removing the tooth with minimal pressure and maximum precision
- Applying gauze and aftercare instructions to support proper healing
For patients with anxiety or complex cases, we offer conscious sedation to make your visit even more comfortable.

FAQs
Is a tooth extraction painful?
No. We thoroughly numb the area before the procedure, and most patients feel only light pressure. Sedation options are also available for added comfort.
How long does it take to recover after an extraction?
Most patients feel back to normal within 2–5 days. Complete healing of the socket may take a few weeks.
What can I eat after a tooth extraction?
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies for the first 24–48 hours. Avoid hot, crunchy, or spicy foods until healed.
Do I need to replace the tooth after extraction?
In many cases, yes—especially if the missing tooth affects chewing, alignment, or appearance. We’ll review options like bridges or dentures.
Is tooth extraction covered by insurance?
Most PPO insurance plans partially cover extractions. We’ll help verify your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs upfront.
