Tooth
Extraction.

When a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to save, extraction removes it cleanly and comfortably — always alongside a clear conversation about replacement options, since a gap left unaddressed can affect nearby teeth over time.

What It Is

A last resort, done carefully.

At Aura, extraction is never the default recommendation — every effort is made to save a tooth through root canal treatment, a crown, or other restorative options first. Extraction is recommended only when a tooth genuinely can't be saved: severe decay, advanced gum disease, a fracture below the gumline, or a wisdom tooth causing ongoing problems.

When extraction is the right call, the focus shifts to doing it as gently and precisely as possible, and to discussing what comes next — whether that's an implant, bridge, or simply monitoring, depending on the tooth's location and your goals.

Why You May Need This

Signs it's time
to get it checked.

Severe decay that's destroyed most of the tooth structureWhen too little healthy tooth remains, a crown or filling can no longer provide a stable, lasting repair.
Advanced gum disease causing tooth mobilitySignificant bone loss around a tooth can leave it too loose to save, even with treatment.
A tooth fractured below the gumlineFractures that extend below the gum are usually not restorable and typically require extraction.
Persistent infection that hasn't resolved with treatmentWhen root canal treatment or antibiotics haven't resolved an infection, extraction may be the safest option.
Orthodontic crowding requiring extra spaceOccasionally a tooth is extracted deliberately to create space for orthodontic treatment.

The Process

What to expect,
step by step.

1

Assessment & X-Ray

The tooth and surrounding bone are examined to confirm extraction is the right course of action.

2

Local Anesthesia

The area is fully numbed before any part of the procedure begins.

3

Extraction

The tooth is carefully loosened and removed, minimizing trauma to the surrounding bone and gum.

4

Site Care

The socket is cleaned and, if needed, gently packed or sutured to support healing.

5

Replacement Discussion

Options such as an implant or bridge are discussed if replacing the tooth is advisable.

Common Questions

Answers before
you ask.

Is extraction always the recommended solution for a damaged tooth?

No — saving the tooth is always considered first. Extraction is recommended only when the tooth genuinely can't be restored.

Do I need to replace an extracted tooth?

Often yes, particularly for back teeth, to prevent shifting of neighboring teeth and bite changes — we'll walk you through the options.

How long does the socket take to heal?

Initial healing takes about 1–2 weeks; full bone healing continues over a few months.
