Tooth Extractions in East Brunswick & Marlboro, NJ

Sometimes it’s best for your overall comfort and health to remove a tooth. Dr. Ladman may suggest this if a tooth is badly worn down, damaged, or has become loose due to gum problems. Removal can also be helpful if a tooth is crowding others, or in some cases, if previous treatments like a root canal have not been successful.

We understand that you may feel a bit nervous, especially if it’s your first time having a tooth removed. Our priority is to keep you as comfortable as possible during the entire process.

Making You Comfortable First

Before we remove a tooth, we will carefully numb the area, including the tooth, the surrounding gum, and the jaw. This means you won’t feel any discomfort during the procedure. You may feel some pressure, but you will not feel the tooth being taken out.

Why a Tooth Might Need to Be Removed

Some of the most common reasons for removing a tooth include:

• Severe decay or damage that can’t be repaired
• Bone loss has caused the tooth to loosen
• A tooth that is in the wrong position or is crowding other teeth
• A failed root canal
• Wisdom teeth that are impacted
• Preparing your mouth for other dental work, like braces

What Happens After the Tooth Is Removed

Most people heal from a tooth extraction within one to two weeks. During this time, your body will start to build new bone and gum tissue where the tooth was located. We’ll ask you to eat soft foods at first and slowly return to your normal diet as you heal.

You’ll come back for a follow-up visit about two weeks after the procedure. At that appointment, we’ll talk with you about replacing the missing tooth. This step is especially important. Missing teeth can lead to shifting, bite problems, and trouble chewing. Replacing the tooth helps keep your mouth healthy and makes eating easier.

Replacing the Tooth Protects Your Health

Even one missing tooth can affect how well you chew and speak, and it can cause nearby teeth to move. We offer several tooth replacement options, including dental implants, to help you eat comfortably and maintain your quality of life.
