Simple & Surgical Tooth Extractions in St George, UT
Sometimes a tooth simply can’t be saved. Whether it’s a severely damaged tooth or a stubborn wisdom tooth, extractions at Dahle Family Dental are done gently, respectfully, and with your comfort as our top priority.
What Is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is the safe, controlled removal of a tooth from your mouth. At Dahle Family Dental, we perform two types:
Simple Extraction (Routine)
When a tooth is visible above the gumline and easy to loosen and remove with specialized tools.
Surgical Extraction
Needed when a tooth is broken at the gumline, impacted, or difficult to access. This method involves a small incision and, if necessary, minor bone removal to safely remove the tooth.
Every extraction is performed with your comfort, safety, and future smile in mind.

Common Questions About Tooth Extractions
Is a tooth extraction painful?
With modern anesthesia and gentle techniques, most patients feel only mild pressure—no sharp pain during the procedure.
How long does it take to heal?
Most simple extractions heal within 7–10 days. Surgical extractions may require 2–3 weeks for full recovery.
Can I eat after an extraction?
You’ll want to stick to soft foods for a few days. We’ll give you specific dietary guidelines to speed your healing.
What about replacing my missing tooth?
We’ll talk with you about options like dental implants, bridges, or partials to restore your smile after healing.
Will I need sedation?
Most extractions can be done with local anesthesia alone. However, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral sedation are available for added comfort.
