Expert Tooth Extraction in Denver, CO

At D-Dental, preserving your natural teeth is always a top priority. However, when a tooth is too damaged or compromised to be saved, a tooth extraction may be the healthiest option for you. If removal becomes necessary, you can feel confident knowing Dr. Dragana Strizak provides gentle, patient-centered tooth extraction in Denver, CO. Our goal is to ensure your comfort while protecting your long-term oral health.

Safe, Comfortable Removal When Necessary

Tooth extractions are recommended only after restorative treatments, such as fillings, crowns, or root canal therapy, are no longer possible. A severely damaged or infected tooth can negatively impact surrounding teeth and gums, making timely removal essential to prevent further complications.

You may need a tooth extraction for several reasons, including:

• Problematic or impacted wisdom teeth
• Advanced tooth decay that cannot be restored
• Teeth broken below the gumline
• Loose teeth caused by advanced gum disease
• Overcrowding that affects bite alignment
• Baby teeth that block the eruption of permanent teeth

In each case, removing the affected tooth can help improve oral health and prevent pain, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth. Before recommending extraction, Dr. Strizak carefully explains your diagnosis, treatment options, and why removal may be the best course of action.

What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction

Every extraction begins with a thorough evaluation. Dr. Strizak examines the tooth and may take digital X-rays to assess its position, root structure, and surrounding bone. This allows for precise planning and a smoother procedure.

If extraction is needed and comfort options are discussed in advance. Once you are relaxed, local anesthesia is administered to numb the area completely. Dr. Strizak then gently loosens and removes the tooth using careful techniques designed to minimize discomfort and promote faster healing.

After the tooth is removed, gauze is placed over the site, or stitches may be used to control bleeding and support proper healing.

You will also receive detailed aftercare instructions to support recovery, manage discomfort, and reduce the risk of complications such as infection or dry socket.
