Tooth Extractions in Dacula, Buford & Braselton, GA
Gentle extractions. Fast recovery.
When a tooth is too damaged to save, extraction is sometimes the best path to protecting your overall oral health. At Anchor Dental in Dacula, GA, Dr. Tom Tang performs gentle extractions under local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout.
Extractions may be needed for severely decayed or broken teeth, infected teeth that cannot be saved with a root canal, overcrowding before orthodontics, or impacted wisdom teeth. After the tooth is removed, Dr. Tang will discuss replacement options such as dental implants or bridges to prevent bone loss and shifting of neighboring teeth. Most patients heal within a few days with proper aftercare.

Tooth Extractions — Frequently Asked Questions
Will a tooth extraction hurt?
The extraction is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain — only pressure. After the anesthesia wears off, over-the-counter pain medication is usually sufficient to manage discomfort for the first 1–2 days.
How long is recovery after a tooth extraction?
Most patients feel back to normal within 3–5 days. A blood clot forms in the socket within the first 24 hours — avoid disturbing it. Dr. Tang will give you detailed aftercare instructions to prevent dry socket.
Do I need to replace an extracted tooth?
In most cases, yes. Missing teeth cause neighboring teeth to shift and the jawbone to deteriorate over time. Options include dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures. Dr. Tang will help you choose the best solution.
