Contact UsAbout Tooth Extractions
Even though our dentists make every attempt to conserve and preserve your natural teeth, there are instances in which a tooth or teeth might need to be taken out. A simple extraction removes a tooth that is visible above the gumline. This is generally done for a tooth that is damaged or decayed beyond repair. A surgical extraction removes a tooth that is below the gum. Surgical extractions are most commonly performed to take out the wisdom teeth and impacted teeth that do not have enough room to fit into your smile. No matter the reason for needing a tooth extraction at Elegant Smiles, our staff will give you the best care. Our Las Vegas, NV office provides different sedation techniques, such as oral-conscious sedation, and that means you can remain calm and comfortable during your procedure. Contact our team to find out more or to schedule an exam with one of our dentists to improve your oral health.
What Are the Benefits of Tooth Extractions?
Simple and surgical tooth extractions performed at Elegant Smiles in Las Vegas, NV allow patients to address problems with one or more teeth that are likely to become much more severe and damage the rest of the mouth if left alone. Practical and cosmetic benefits of tooth extractions include:
- Averting further issues from tooth infection or decay
- Allowing for orthodontics to be installed
- Avoiding infection from partially impacted or erupted teeth
- Treating tooth problems that may result from trauma like car accidents or sports injuries
- Preventing wisdom teeth from disturbing the rest of the mouth
- Enabling the growth of permanent teeth in younger children
What to Expect with Tooth Extractions
Extractions are performed in our office using local anesthesia in the area near the tooth being worked on. Different forms of sedation could be used based on the extent of the extraction and to help you stay relaxed in case you have any dental worries. When you are ready, one of our doctors will begin the procedure. In a simple extraction, we will loosen the tooth with a special device called an elevator before removing the tooth. A surgical extraction entails making incisions in your gums to reach the tooth. If necessary, the tooth could be broken into smaller pieces so that it can be taken out. When the tooth is removed, we will close the incision in the gums. Your recovery will vary based on the complexity of your extraction, but most patients want to eat soft, room-temperature food for the first couple of days following the extraction. Your dentist will go over what to expect during your recovery and the best ways to take care of your mouth.
Tooth Extractions Reviews
I was in severe tooth pain and was starting to feel hopeless in getting help for it. After searching for options which were limited due to the pandemic, Dr. Hyunth and Elegant Smiles were giving back to the Vegas community by helping a few fortunate candidates. After connecting and speaking with Dr. Hyunth, her team was able to get me in promptly for a consultation. Shortly after that, they offered me a professional solution for my teeth which required a good amount of dental work and fast. The pain was getting to the point where it just about unbearable. Elegant Smiles did an amazing job on my bridge, crown, and even tooth extraction. Given the circumstances, they still went above and beyond to help me and took every step possible to make certain I was very happy with the results. They are very patient, knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, insightful, caring and everything else you would look and hope for in a great dentist. Very updated and clean office too which is something I always watch for in any professional setting. I can’t say enough great things about this dentist, I highly recommend them! They have become my dentist going forward.

After searching Facebook groups I’m in for dentist recommendations, I decided to send my husband here after he cracked a tooth and was in the worst pain of his life.I searched “dentist” in the group, read through a ton of recommendations, and chose Elegant Smiles because the dentist’s wife had commented on several posts offering to help. I messaged her directly, and she got my husband in to see her husband that same day!My husband was in so much pain that they had to numb him multiple times before they could extract the tooth. He came home swollen all the way up to his eye because the infection had spread down to the roots. My husband absolutely HATES going to the dentist, but he didn’t have a single negative thing to say about his experience.The front office staff was also incredible. Since we don’t have physical insurance cards, they had to call and get all of our information, and they handled everything without giving us any hassle.I will admit, when you look at their website it can seem a little intimidating and very high-end. Their office is beautiful, and they absolutely offer high-end cosmetic services. But don’t let that scare you away if you’re simply looking for an emergency tooth extraction or general dental care. They offer a wide variety of services for all kinds of dental needs.Dr. Phan was absolutely amazing, and we’re so thankful we found this office. If you’re looking for a dentist, I highly recommend checking out Elegant Smiles!

About UsTooth Extractions FAQs
When is a tooth extraction really needed?
A tooth extraction is typically performed when a tooth is severely damaged or decayed, causing pain, infection, or crowding issues.
Is tooth extraction painful?
Most patients tolerate the tooth extraction procedure itself well with various anesthetic options available at Elegant Smiles, ensuring you don't feel any discomfort during the process. However, it is common to experience some post-treatment pain and swelling, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications prescribed by our team. Following the dentist's instructions for aftercare, including proper oral hygiene and avoiding certain foods, can help minimize discomfort during the healing process.
What should I expect after a tooth extraction?
After a tooth extraction, it is normal to experience some swelling, discomfort, and minor bleeding in the extraction area. Your dentist will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to follow, including how to care for the extraction site, what to eat, and how to manage any discomfort. It usually takes a few days to a week for the gum tissue to heal completely, but the timeframe may vary depending on the complexity of the extraction. If you have any concerns or experience excessive bleeding, severe pain, or prolonged healing, it is important to contact your dentist for further evaluation.
