Tooth Extractions in Northwest Oklahoma City

Gentle Tooth Removal with a Focus on Healing

Whether you have a severely decayed, infected, or damaged tooth, extraction is often the first step toward restoring your smile. At Legacy Family Dentistry, Dr. Armin Zarkeshan uses advanced techniques and a compassionate approach to ensure your extraction is quick, safe, and stress-free.

We’ll also walk you through every post-extraction option — from socket preservation to dental implants — so you never feel left in the dark about what comes next.

When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?

We always try to save natural teeth when possible, but removal may be the best option in cases of:

• Severe tooth decay or infection that cannot be treated with root canal therapy
  
• Advanced gum disease causing tooth mobility
  
• Fractured or broken teeth that can’t be restored
  
• Preparation for full dentures or All-on-4 implants
  
• Crowding or impacted teeth (non-wisdom)
  
• Emergencies involving trauma or unrepairable damage
  

If you're experiencing pain, swelling, or a loose tooth, we’ll perform a thorough exam and help you understand whether extraction is the right next step.

The Tooth Extraction Process

Here’s what to expect during a typical extraction visit:

1. Evaluation & X-rays
   
   • Dr. Armin will evaluate the affected tooth and surrounding structures
     
   • Digital imaging helps determine the best approach
     
2. Numbing the Area
   
   • Local anesthesia is used to fully numb the tooth and surrounding tissue
     
   • Sedation options are available if you’re feeling anxious
     
3. Tooth Removal
   
   • The tooth is gently loosened and removed with precision instruments
     
   • The area is cleaned and prepared for healing or restoration
     
4. Aftercare & Healing
   
   • We’ll provide detailed post-op instructions
     
   • Pain is usually mild and manageable with over-the-counter medication
     
   • Most patients feel back to normal in a few days
     

We also offer socket preservation (bone grafting) at the time of extraction to maintain the jawbone and prepare for a future implant.

Immediate Care for Dental Emergencies

Have a toothache, swelling, or sudden trauma? We provide same-day emergency care for painful or damaged teeth — including extractions when necessary. Call us as soon as you notice symptoms, and we’ll work to relieve your pain quickly.

Tooth Replacement After Extraction

If you're having a permanent tooth removed, it’s important to plan for replacement. We’ll guide you through options that preserve your bite and appearance, such as:

• Single Tooth Implants
  
• Bridges
  
• Implant-Supported Dentures
  
• Smile Makeovers for full restoration
  

The best option will depend on your goals, bone health, and number of missing teeth.
