TOOTH EXTRACTIONS
IN SILER CITY / PITTSBORO, NC
GENTLE, COMFORTABLE TOOTH REMOVAL
WITH YOUR LONG-TERM SMILE IN MIND
At Central Carolina Dentistry, Dr. David and his team understand that having a tooth removed can feel intimidating. That’s why we approach every extraction with a gentle touch, digital precision, and a focus on long-term health.
Whether your tooth is damaged, infected, or crowding other teeth, we provide comfortable, efficient extractions and, when appropriate, plan ahead for bone preservation and future implants so you can maintain both your health and your confidence.
Serving Siler City, Pittsboro, Liberty, Ramseur, Burlington, Graham, Chapel Hill, Asheboro and Sanford, we make surgical dentistry accessible, compassionate, and affordable for every patient.
WHY TOOTH EXTRACTIONS ARE SOMETIMES NECESSARY
While we always strive to save natural teeth when possible, extractions may be the healthiest option if you have:
Severe decay or infection that cannot be restored
Cracked or broken teeth beyond repair
Advanced gum disease with bone loss
Impacted wisdom teeth
Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
Preparation for full or partial dentures
Dr. David will review digital X-rays and imaging with you to ensure extraction is the right choice and discuss your best options for restoring your smile afterward.

LEARN MORE ABOUT TOOTH EXTRACTIONS
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER AN EXTRACTION
You can return home the same day with simple aftercare instructions. Most patients experience mild soreness for a day or two. We’ll give you:
Instructions for rest and oral care
Guidance on what to eat (soft, cool foods at first)
A personalized healing plan, especially if you’re considering implants
Within a few days, most patients feel back to normal and many return to work the very next day.
PROTECTING YOUR SMILE: SOCKET PRESERVATION & IMPLANTS
After a tooth is removed, the jawbone naturally begins to shrink at that site. This can make future tooth replacement more difficult if left untreated.
That’s why Dr. David often recommends socket preservation, a simple Bone Graft placed immediately after extraction to maintain bone volume and shape. This step:
Prevents bone loss and gum collapse
Keeps your options open for future implants
Makes dentures or bridges fit more securely
Speeds up healing and maintains your facial structure
Even if you’re not ready for an implant right now, socket preservation helps ensure you can be in the future.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT TOOTH EXTRACTIONS
Do Extractions Hurt?
Typically, no. With local anesthesia and our gentle techniques, you’ll feel pressure but no pain.
How Long Does it take to Recover?
Most patients recover within 2–3 days for simple extractions, and about a week for surgical ones.
Can I Replace the Tooth Immediately?
In many cases, yes. We can perform socket preservation during extraction and plan your implant placement at the same time or shortly afterward.
Will Insurance Cover my Tooth Extraction?
Most plans cover extractions fully or partially. We’ll verify your coverage and help you understand all costs upfront.
