When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Understanding your symptoms helps determine if extraction is the right solution. Severe tooth decay that reaches deep into the oral cavity often requires removal when root canal therapy isn’t viable. Impacted wisdom teeth — your third molars that emerge as your last teeth — frequently cause pain, infection, and crowding issues. Advanced gum disease can destroy the bone supporting your teeth, making extraction necessary to prevent further damage.
Sometimes extraction becomes part of a larger treatment plan. Patients preparing for orthodontic work may need teeth removed to create space, while those with facial trauma might have teeth too damaged to save. Our team carefully evaluates whether we can preserve your natural teeth through other treatments before recommending extraction. When removal is necessary, we ensure you understand all your options for replacing missing teeth, including dental implants and bridges.

Your Extraction Experience at SmileWorks
Understanding the tooth extraction process can help ease any anxiety you might have. Here’s a step-by-step overview of what to expect.
Pre-Extraction Consultation
Before your extraction, you’ll meet with one of our skilled dentists to review your medical history, discuss symptoms, and undergo a detailed exam. Using advanced 3D imaging, we assess tooth roots, surrounding bone, and nearby teeth for precise planning.
Preparation
On the day of the extraction, we’ll start by ensuring you’re comfortable and relaxed. To ensure your comfort during the extraction, we will administer a local anesthetic to numb the area. Depending on your comfort level and the complexity of the procedure, we may also offer IV sedation or general anesthesia to help you feel at ease throughout.
The Extraction Procedure
During the procedure, your SmileWorks dentist will carefully remove the tooth. Simple extractions are often quick, using gentle forceps to lift the tooth. More complex cases may require a small gum incision to access the tooth.
Post-Extraction Care
Following your extraction, we provide clear instructions on managing discomfort, reducing swelling, and keeping the area clean. Our guidance includes over-the-counter pain relief and dietary recommendations, such as soft foods, to aid recovery. Avoid disturbing the blood clot at the extraction site to ensure proper healing.
Follow-Up
We may schedule a follow-up to check on healing and answer any questions. If a bone graft is recommended for future implants, we’ll discuss it during this appointment. Our team is always here to support your smooth recovery.

Beyond Extraction: Protecting Your Oral Health
Removing a problematic tooth is often just the beginning of restoring your mouth’s function and appearance. After extraction, the bone that supported your tooth begins to resorb, which can affect your facial form over time. That’s why we often recommend dental implants to replace missing teeth and preserve jaw structure. During your extraction, we can perform bone grafting to maintain adequate bone volume for future restorations.
Our comprehensive approach includes planning for your long-term oral health. We work with our in-house specialists, including oral surgeons and prosthodontists, to create a complete treatment plan. This might include temporomandibular joint evaluation if your bite has been affected, or discussion of how missing teeth might impact your ability to improve function when eating and speaking.
Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Extraction at SmileWorks NYC
How much does tooth extraction cost in NYC?
Simple tooth extractions typically cost between $150-$400 per tooth in Manhattan, while surgical extractions range from $300-$800. Wisdom tooth removal costs $250-$600 per tooth depending on complexity. At SmileWorks NYC, we accept all PPO insurance plans, and most dental insurance covers 70-80% of extraction costs. We’ll verify your benefits in advance and provide a detailed estimate during your consultation.
Is tooth extraction painful?
Modern tooth extraction is not painful thanks to effective local anesthesia that completely numbs the area. You may feel pressure during the procedure, but no pain. After extraction, mild to moderate discomfort is normal for 2-3 days and can be managed with prescribed pain medication or over-the-counter anti-inflammatories. Our Manhattan team uses gentle techniques to minimize discomfort during and after extraction.
How long does tooth extraction take?
Simple extractions typically take 15-30 minutes, while surgical extractions may take 30-60 minutes depending on the tooth’s position and complexity. Wisdom tooth removal can take 45-90 minutes if multiple teeth are extracted. Our experienced team at SmileWorks NYC uses advanced 3D imaging to plan extractions efficiently, often completing procedures faster than traditional methods.
What should I expect during recovery after tooth extraction?
Most patients recover from tooth extraction within 3-7 days. You’ll need to avoid smoking, drinking through straws, and vigorous rinsing for 24-48 hours to prevent dry socket. Stick to soft foods, apply ice for swelling, and take prescribed medications as directed. We provide detailed post-operative instructions and are available for any concerns during your recovery in Manhattan.
What are my options after tooth extraction?
After extraction, you have several replacement options including dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures to restore function and appearance. Dental implants are often the best long-term solution as they prevent bone loss and function like natural teeth. Our comprehensive Manhattan team can discuss all options during your consultation and help you choose the best replacement for your situation and budget.
Can I get multiple teeth extracted in one visit?
Yes, multiple extractions can often be performed in a single appointment, which is more convenient and cost-effective. However, this depends on your overall health, the teeth’s locations, and recovery considerations. Our Manhattan specialists will evaluate your specific situation and recommend the safest approach. We offer sedation options for anxious patients or extensive procedures.
Does insurance cover tooth extraction?
Most PPO dental insurance plans cover 70-80% of extraction costs, as it’s considered a necessary treatment to preserve oral health. At SmileWorks NYC, we work with all major insurance providers including Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, and MetLife. We’ll verify your benefits before treatment, file all claims on your behalf, and offer payment plans to make treatment affordable for Manhattan families.
