What Are Tooth Extractions?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket when it can no longer be repaired or when keeping it may affect your oral health. While our goal is always to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, extraction may be recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, loose, or causing other dental concerns.
At 1460 Dental Studio of Georgetown, we make sure you understand why an extraction may be needed and what your options are. Our team will examine your tooth, review any X-rays, and create a care plan that supports your comfort and long-term oral health.
After the tooth is removed, we can also discuss replacement options when needed, helping you protect your bite, appearance, and overall smile function.

The Process of Getting a
Tooth Extraction
The first step of the tooth extraction process is a detailed examination of your tooth and surrounding oral structures. Our team may take digital X-rays to better understand the position of the tooth, its roots, and the condition of the nearby bone and gums. This helps Dr. Ifraitekh determine the safest and most comfortable way to remove the tooth.
Before the extraction begins, the area will be carefully numbed to help you stay comfortable throughout the procedure. Once you are ready, Dr. Ifraitekh will gently loosen and remove the tooth using precise dental techniques. After the tooth is removed, our team will clean the area, control any bleeding, and place gauze to support the healing process.
Before you leave, we will provide clear aftercare instructions so you know how to care for the extraction site at home. Depending on your needs, Dr. Ifraitekh may also discuss tooth replacement options, such as dental implants or bridges, to help restore your smile and protect your long-term oral health.
