Expert Tooth Removal for a Healthier Smile
While preserving your natural teeth is always our goal, there are times when a tooth extraction is the best option for your overall health. At Advanced Dental Arts in Somerset, NJ, we perform gentle, precise extractions using the latest techniques and comfort-focused care. Whether you need a problematic wisdom tooth removed or a damaged tooth that cannot be restored, our team ensures a smooth, stress-free experience from start to finish.
Led by Dr. Philip Afshar and Dr. Joseph Haddad, our office combines clinical expertise, digital imaging, and sedation options to provide safe, effective treatment. If you're experiencing dental pain, swelling, or crowding, we’re here to help with expert tooth removal and complete post-op care.
When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth is:
- Severely decayed or infected
- Damaged beyond repair from trauma
- Loosely anchored due to advanced gum disease
- Impacted or crowding other teeth (such as wisdom teeth)
- Blocking orthodontic treatment progress
In some cases, extractions are a first step in a full treatment plan that includes dental implants or dentures to restore your smile.
Our Tooth Extraction Process
Step 1: Digital Imaging & Diagnosis
We start with a full oral exam and 3D CT scan to assess the condition and position of the tooth.
Step 2: Local Anesthesia & Sedation
Your comfort is our priority. We numb the area and can offer oral sedation or nitrous oxide to help you relax.
Step 3: Gentle Tooth Removal
Using advanced instruments and techniques, your dentist carefully removes the tooth, minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissue. If stitches are needed, we use dissolvable sutures.
Step 4: Post-Op Care & Healing Plan
You’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions, including what to eat, how to clean the site, and how to manage discomfort. We also schedule a follow-up to monitor healing or begin restorative treatment if needed.

What to Expect After a Tooth Extraction
- Mild swelling or soreness for 24–48 hours
- Rest and soft foods are recommended during healing
- Avoid drinking through straws or smoking for at least 72 hours
- Complete healing usually takes 7–10 days, depending on the complexity of the extraction
If the extracted tooth needs to be replaced, we’ll walk you through options like dental bridges, implants, or same-day crowns to restore your bite and smile.
