A tooth extraction is the careful removal of a tooth from its socket, performed when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or crowded to be saved or treated effectively with other restorative options. Our dentists use precise techniques and proper anesthesia to ensure the procedure is as comfortable and efficient as possible. Dr. Brandon Skenandore and Dr. Iris Skenandore approach every extraction with a conservative mindset, removing only what is necessary. Your options are always discussed openly before anything moves forward. Removing a problem tooth is often the most important step toward better oral health.
Removing a severely damaged or infected tooth provides immediate, lasting relief from chronic discomfort.
Extracting an abscessed or infected tooth prevents bacteria from spreading to surrounding teeth, bone, and tissue.
Removing a crowded or impacted tooth gives neighboring teeth the space they need to function and align properly.
Extraction is often the first step toward replacing a failing tooth with a longer-lasting solution, such as a dental implant.
From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
Request an AppointmentOur team will review your X-rays, confirm your treatment plan, and ensure you are fully comfortable before we begin.
Our dentists will thoroughly numb the area so you feel pressure — but not pain — throughout the procedure.
The tooth is carefully loosened and gently removed from the socket using a precise, controlled technique.
We'll send you home with clear recovery guidelines and follow up to make sure you're healing well.
Notice any of these? Schedule a visit — early care is easier care.
A cavity that has progressed too deeply to be repaired with a filling or crown may require removal.
Significant bone and tissue loss around a tooth can compromise its stability beyond what treatment can restore.
Extra or overlapping teeth that are preventing proper alignment may need to be removed before orthodontic treatment.
A tooth that has failed to fully emerge from the gumline can cause pressure, pain, and risk of infection.
A tooth that has fractured at or beneath the gumline often cannot be salvaged with conventional restorative care.
A recurring or unresolved infection that has not responded to other treatments may require extraction to fully resolve.

Dr Brendon and his whole staff are always great. Dr Brendon is highly knowledgeable, skilled and real accommodating to my special dental needs as I am getting older and have concerns with receding gums and tooth sensitivities. I am grateful that I can trust westgrove dental and that Dr Branden is young enough to continue with my dental needs into my older years. And the new office remodel is beautiful and just minutes from my College Park East home.View on Google

My filling fell out while eating a salad, and after my (now ex) dentist told me he wouldn’t be able to see me right away, I found the wonderful Doctors and Staff at Westgrove Dental!

Yes, our dentists always work to preserve your natural teeth whenever it is possible. Extraction is recommended only when no other treatment would work.
The area is thoroughly numbed with local anesthetic before anything begins. Sedation options are available if you feel anxious about the procedure.
Extraction is often the first step toward replacing the tooth with a longer-lasting solution such as an implant. We discuss those options with you before you leave.
The cost depends on whether the extraction is simple or surgical, and our team reviews all fees beforehand. Our in-house dental savings plan reduces costs for uninsured patients.
Most PPO plans cover a portion of extraction as a restorative procedure. Westgrove Dental Care is in-network with most major PPO plans and will verify your benefits.
