Preserving a natural tooth is a priority whenever possible. In some situations, however, removing the tooth may be the healthiest or most predictable option. Your dentist may recommend an extraction for:

Dr. Hazan will evaluate the tooth and explain your options so you can make an informed decision. Not all extractions are the same: some teeth can be removed routinely, while impacted, fractured or complicated teeth may require a surgical approach.

Dr. Hazan has experience with both routine and surgical extractions, including emergency cases, non-restorable teeth and second opinions on extensive or complicated treatment. For more involved procedures, the goal is to complete treatment carefully while keeping you informed and comfortable.

An impacted tooth is a tooth that has not fully emerged into its expected position. This is common with wisdom teeth, although other teeth can also become impacted. Depending on its position, an impacted tooth may cause pain, swelling, infection or problems with neighboring teeth.

Our office uses advanced dental technology to assess the position of the tooth and the surrounding structures before treatment. This information helps your dentist determine the most appropriate approach to the extraction.

Before treatment, the area is numbed with local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. The exact procedure depends on the position and condition of the tooth.

A routine extraction may involve carefully loosening and removing the tooth. An impacted or complex tooth may require a small incision in the gum tissue, and the dentist may need to remove a small amount of surrounding bone or section the tooth so it can be removed safely.

Dr. Hazan’s experience includes more than 30,000 extractions, including more than 10,000 wisdom teeth, which supports care for routine, surgical and complex cases.

We understand that needing a tooth removed can cause anxiety. Our office takes a personalized, no-pressure approach and explains what to expect before treatment begins.

Dr. Hazan has completed advanced training in oral surgery, extractions and sedation dentistry. Sedation is available on request when appropriate and may be an option for patients with dental anxiety or more involved treatment needs.

After your extraction, you will receive detailed post-operative instructions to support healing and reduce the risk of complications. These may include guidance on caring for the extraction site, managing discomfort, choosing foods and protecting the blood clot that forms during healing.

Recovery depends on the type of extraction and your individual health. Our team is available to answer questions during the healing process. If you experience concerning symptoms, call us at (407) 234-4412 so we can determine whether further evaluation is needed.

Some patients come to our office after being told they need an extraction or after experiencing problems with previous dental work. Dr. Hazan frequently treats complex cases and provides second opinions to help patients understand their options.

His experience includes surgical extractions, wisdom tooth removal, emergency dental care, implant dentistry, root canal treatment and full-mouth reconstruction. This broad background allows him to consider both the immediate problem and how the removal of a tooth may affect your overall treatment plan.

Removing a tooth may solve an immediate problem, but replacing a missing tooth can be important for long-term oral health and function. Depending on the location of the tooth, your oral health and your goals, additional restorative treatment may be recommended.

Your dentist and our team will discuss your options when appropriate. Dr. Hazan has significant experience with implant placement and restoration, dentures and complex restorative care.
