Tooth Extractions in Glenpool, OK

Comfortable, Skilled Extractions — Only When Necessary

At Glenpool Dental Group, we prioritize saving your natural teeth whenever possible. But in some cases — whether due to decay, damage, crowding, or infection — a tooth extraction is the healthiest option.

Our experienced team performs extractions with care and precision, always focusing on patient comfort. Whether you need a simple removal or a more complex surgical extraction, we’ll walk you through the process and help you feel confident at every step.

When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?

Tooth extractions are only recommended when a tooth cannot be restored or is affecting your overall oral health. Common reasons for removal include:

• Severe decay or infection beyond repair
  
• Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) causing tooth mobility
  
• Fractured or broken teeth that can’t be restored
  
• Preparation for orthodontics or dental implants
  
• Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
  
• Overcrowding or bite imbalance
  

We’ll evaluate your condition thoroughly and only recommend extraction if it’s truly the best long-term solution.

Our Extraction Process: What to Expect

We understand that the idea of a tooth extraction can be stressful — that’s why we go above and beyond to make the experience as smooth and pain-free as possible.

Here’s what the process looks like:

1. Consultation & Imaging: We take digital X-rays to assess the tooth’s position, health, and root structure.
   
2. Anesthesia & Comfort Options: We numb the area completely and offer sedation dentistry if needed for anxious patients.
   
3. Tooth Removal
   
   • Simple extractions involve loosening and removing visible teeth.
     
   • Surgical extractions are required for impacted or broken teeth beneath the gumline.
     
4. Aftercare & Healing: We provide detailed instructions to help you heal comfortably and avoid complications like dry socket.
   

Most extractions are quick and recovery is manageable with rest and proper aftercare.

Tooth Replacement Options After Extraction

Losing a tooth doesn’t have to mean losing your smile. If an extraction is necessary, we’ll talk with you about restoration options to fill the gap and prevent future issues.

Options include:

• Single tooth implants
  
• Bridges
  
• Partial dentures
  
• Implant-supported dentures
  

We’ll work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals and budget.

Cost, Insurance & Payment Options

The cost of a tooth extraction varies based on the complexity and number of teeth removed. At Glenpool Dental Group, we strive to keep care accessible with:

• Acceptance of most major dental insurance plans, including Delta Dental and GEHA
  
• Financing options through Cherry, CareCredit, and Alphaeon
  
• In-house membership plan that includes discounts on basic and surgical services
