When It's Necessary

Common reasons for same-day tooth removal

Not every painful tooth needs to come out -- but when extraction is the right treatment, waiting only makes things worse. Here are the situations we handle most often.

Severe Dental Infection

When an abscess has destroyed too much tooth structure or the infection is spreading, extraction stops the source before it reaches the jaw, neck, or bloodstream. This is a true dental emergency -- do not wait.

Tooth Fractured Below the Gumline

A break that extends below the gumline cannot support a crown. Extraction is often the only option. We assess the fracture with digital X-rays and give you a clear answer on the same visit.

Impacted Wisdom Tooth Pain

Wisdom teeth trapped beneath the gum cause throbbing pain, swelling, and infection that can worsen fast. Same-day extraction ends the pain and prevents the infection from spreading to adjacent teeth.

Failed or Untreatable Root Canal

When re-infection has caused irreversible damage and a tooth cannot be retreated, extraction followed by an implant is often the most predictable long-term solution for restoring your bite.

Severely Decayed Tooth

Decay that has consumed most of the tooth often leaves nothing to restore. Extraction eliminates the ongoing infection and gives you a clean foundation for a replacement option such as an implant.

Traumatic Dental Injury

Accidents, falls, or sports injuries can cause damage too severe to repair. When a tooth cannot be saved, prompt extraction prevents infection and starts the path toward a permanent replacement.

Before You Arrive

What to know before your emergency extraction

A few simple steps before you come in can reduce pain, speed your recovery, and help us provide the safest possible care.

Pain Management
Over-the-counter relief while you wait

Ibuprofen (if you can take NSAIDs) is generally more effective than acetaminophen for tooth pain. Apply a cold pack to your cheek to reduce swelling. Do not apply heat -- it can drive infection deeper. Avoid alcohol, as it can interfere with anesthesia and increase bleeding risk.

If Sedation is Planned
IV sedation requires a few preparations

Do not eat or drink for at least 6 hours before your appointment (small amounts of water are usually fine up to 2 hours prior). Arrange for someone to drive you home -- you cannot drive after sedation. Wear comfortable, loose-sleeved clothing for IV access.

Your Medical History
Tell us about your medications and conditions

Blood thinners, diabetes, heart conditions, and immune-suppressing medications can affect extraction and healing. Bring a list of your current medications. We may need to coordinate with your physician for certain high-risk conditions before proceeding.

After the Extraction
Plan for 24 hours of easy recovery

Most patients return to desk work the following day. Plan for soft foods for the first 24 to 48 hours. Avoid straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing -- all three can dislodge the clot and cause dry socket, which is significantly more painful than the extraction itself.

Why Choose Us

What makes us different for emergency extractions

Same-Day Extraction

We hold same-day appointment slots specifically for dental emergencies. When you call in pain, we make every effort to get you in today. Waiting a week with a dental infection is not acceptable -- and it should not be your only option.

IV Sedation On-Site

Our board-certified dental anesthesiologist administers IV sedation here in our office. You are deeply relaxed for the entire procedure. Most patients wake up with no memory of the extraction and significant relief from the pain that brought them in.

A Path Forward, Same Visit

Losing a tooth does not have to mean living with a gap. We discuss implant options at your extraction appointment. When appropriate, we can place a bone graft the same day to preserve the socket for a future implant.

Affordable, Transparent Pricing

We provide a clear cost estimate before treatment begins. We accept most major insurance and offer same-day financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit, and Proceed. Cost should never be a reason to leave an infected tooth in place.

"I was in a lot of pain and needed an emergency extraction. I have a serious fear of dentists and I was treated with such kindness and understanding. The TV on the ceiling kept my mind off my stress. They held my hand. The doctor made sure I was in no pain. The receptionist got me in right away even when they were very busy."

Everything In-House

Complete extraction care without referrals

Many dental offices refer out for complex extractions or sedation. We handle everything here -- simple and surgical extractions, wisdom teeth, and IV sedation -- with our anesthesiologist on site.

Simple and Surgical Extractions

We perform both straightforward erupted-tooth extractions and surgical cases -- including impacted wisdom teeth, broken roots, and teeth with complex root anatomy. You do not get referred out just because your case is more involved.

Board-Certified Anesthesia

Our board-certified dental anesthesiologist is on site for IV sedation cases. This is the same level of anesthesia safety you would expect in a hospital setting, delivered in our comfortable Glendale office.

Same-Day Bone Grafting

If you plan to replace the extracted tooth with a dental implant, a socket preservation graft at the time of extraction maintains bone volume and significantly improves long-term implant outcomes. We do this in the same appointment.

Common Questions

What patients ask about emergency tooth extraction

Most simple extractions take 20 to 45 minutes from the time you are seated. Complex or surgical extractions -- such as impacted wisdom teeth or teeth with curved roots -- may take longer. We will give you an accurate time estimate after reviewing your X-rays at the appointment.
We administer local anesthesia before every extraction, so you feel pressure and movement but not pain. If you have significant anxiety or need a more complex procedure, IV sedation is available. Most patients are surprised by how manageable the experience is -- especially compared to the tooth pain that brought them in.
Yes. We offer IV sedation administered by our board-certified dental anesthesiologist. You are deeply relaxed and feel nothing during the extraction. This is ideal for patients with dental anxiety, complex extractions, or anyone who simply wants to sleep through the procedure and wake up with it done.
We send you home with clear aftercare instructions covering diet, pain management, and clot care. Most patients manage comfortably with over-the-counter ibuprofen. Swelling typically peaks at 48 hours then improves. If you want to replace the tooth with an implant, we can begin that conversation at your extraction appointment or at a follow-up once you have healed.
Simple extractions typically range from $150 to $300. Surgical extractions -- impacted teeth, broken roots, or complex cases -- are priced higher. We provide a clear estimate before any treatment begins. We accept most major insurance and offer same-day financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit, and Proceed.
A bone graft is optional, not required. If you plan to replace the tooth with a dental implant, a socket preservation graft at the time of extraction helps maintain the bone volume needed for a successful implant later. Without a graft, the bone can shrink significantly over several months. We will give you a clear recommendation based on your specific case and long-term goals.
No. Smile Science is 100% owned by Dr. Dawson and Dr. Turke, two practicing dentists. There are no outside investors, no private equity involvement, and no management company directing clinical decisions. The people making your treatment recommendations are the same people whose names are on the practice -- and they are the doctors you will see at your appointment.
