When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Dr. Kim only recommends extraction when it is truly the best option for your long-term health. Common reasons include:
- Severe decay that cannot be restored
- Advanced gum disease
- Impacted or painful wisdom teeth
- Fractured teeth beyond repair
- Infection that does not respond to other treatments
- Crowding for orthodontic treatment
Types of Tooth Extractions We Perform
- Simple Extractions – For visible teeth (usually 15–30 minutes)
- Surgical Extractions – For broken, impacted, or difficult teeth
- Wisdom Tooth Extractions – Including full-mouth removal in one visit when recommended
Sedation & Pain Management Options
We offer several levels of comfort so you can feel relaxed:
- Local Anesthesia (complete numbing of the area)
- Nitrous Oxide (“laughing gas”) for relaxation
- Oral Sedation for deeper anxiety relief
- IV Sedation (for complex cases or severe dental phobia)
Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the procedure actually is.

Aftercare & Recovery Tips

Frequently Asked Questions
Do tooth extractions hurt?With modern anesthesia and sedation options, most patients feel little to no pain during the procedure — only mild pressure. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and easily managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medication.
Can I get a same-day tooth extraction?Yes. We prioritize urgent cases and often provide same-day emergency extractions, including weekends. Call (224) 520-8665 to check availability.
How much does a tooth extraction cost?Costs vary depending on the complexity of the case. We provide a clear, upfront cost estimate after examination. We accept most PPO insurance plans and offer flexible payment options.
What is the recovery time after extraction?Most patients feel significantly better within 2–3 days. Full healing usually takes 1–4 weeks depending on whether it was a simple or surgical extraction.
Do you remove wisdom teeth?Yes. We safely remove wisdom teeth, including all four in one appointment when recommended. Early removal (typically ages 16–25) often leads to easier recovery.
