Tooth Extractions in Glenpool, OK
Gentle Tooth Removal for Long-Term Relief and Oral Health

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.

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:

FAQs About Tooth Extractions

Is tooth extraction painful?
No — the area will be completely numbed before treatment. Most patients feel pressure, not pain. We also offer sedation for added comfort.
How long does it take to heal?
Initial healing usually takes about 7–10 days. Complete healing of the bone and tissue may take a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the extraction.
Can I go back to work after an extraction?
Most patients return to work the next day. However, we recommend avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous activity for 24–48 hours.
What can I eat after the procedure?
Stick to soft foods (yogurt, eggs, mashed potatoes) for the first few days. Avoid straws and hot foods while healing.
Do I need to replace a tooth that’s been removed?
In most cases, yes. Replacing a missing tooth helps prevent shifting, bone loss, and changes in your bite. We’ll go over all your replacement options after the procedure.
