Tooth Extraction in Framingham, MA

Sometimes removing a tooth is the healthiest choice. At Atlantis Dental, we perform skilled extractions and provide the follow-up care you need to keep your smile comfortable, healthy, and functional.

Why Tooth Extractions Matter

Our first goal is always to preserve teeth. However, when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, infected, or impacted, an extraction can stop pain, prevent the spread of infection, and make room for a durable replacement. We offer both routine and complex extractions in-office, including wisdom teeth removal, with options for timely emergency care.

When You Choose Tooth Extractions at Atlantis Dental, You Can Expect:

Comfortable, gentle tooth removal performed by experienced dentists
Advanced digital imaging to plan precise extractions
A variety of sedation options to keep you relaxed and pain-free
Personalized post-extraction care instructions for smooth healing
Options to replace your extracted tooth — including implants, bridges, or dentures — to restore your smile and function

Home Care Education & Support

You play a vital role in your oral health. We help by:

Suggesting the best toothbrushes, floss, picks, water flossers, mouth rinses, etc.
Recommending night guards if you grind or clench your teeth
Advising on nutrition, sugar intake, and acidic foods
Working with you on quitting tobacco or vaping (which greatly harm gums and teeth)

How Often Should You Visit?

Generally healthy patients: Every 6 months (twice per year)
Higher risk patients (history of gum disease, implants, complicated restorations, smoking): Every 3 to 4 months
Post–deep cleaning / periodontal treatment: Maintenance cleanings often every 3 months to prevent relapse

Your dentist will tailor a schedule based on your condition, risk factors, and past dental history.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Tooth Extraction FAQs — Atlantis Dental, Framingham MA

Will the extraction hurt?

We numb the area first and focus on making you comfortable from the moment you arrive. Most patients report pressure, not sharp pain. Post-op discomfort is manageable with the instructions we provide.

When do I need a tooth extracted instead of a root canal or crown?

If a tooth is too decayed, cracked below the gumline, badly infected, or impacted, extraction may be the healthiest option. We’ll review your X-rays and discuss alternatives before recommending removal.

Do you remove wisdom teeth?

Yes. We perform preventive and emergency wisdom teeth removal to reduce pain, infection risk, and crowding.

What are my options after an extraction?

Common choices include implants, bridges, or dentures. We’ll help you choose the right timing and solution for your smile and budget.
