When a tooth needs to come out
We always try to save a natural tooth first. When that isn't possible, a tooth extraction in Salt Lake City can stop pain and infection and protect the teeth around it.
- A tooth too broken or decayed to repair
- A tooth loosened by advanced gum disease
- An infection that can't be treated another way
- Crowding that affects nearby teeth
What to expect
We numb the area well, so you feel pressure but not pain. We explain each step before we do it and stop whenever you need a break.
You'll go home with clear aftercare instructions, and we're a phone call away if anything feels off while you heal.
What comes next
Losing a tooth can let nearby teeth shift over time. Right away, we'll walk you through your options for replacing it, such as a partial or full denture, and what each costs.
If your case would be better handled by another provider, we'll tell you why and help you with the next step.
