Tooth Extractions with a Periodontist
While every effort is made to preserve natural teeth, there are times when extraction is the healthiest and most predictable option for your long-term oral health.
As a periodontist, our doctor has specialized training in the supporting structures of the teeth—bone, gum tissue, and surrounding anatomy—allowing for extractions that are precise, minimally invasive, and designed to protect the foundation for future restorations.
Many patients are referred to our office by their general dentist when an extraction requires the advanced skills of a specialist.
Why a Periodontist for Extractions?
Periodontists perform extractions with a deeper understanding of the bone and soft tissue that surround the teeth. This specialized approach helps minimize trauma, preserve bone volume, and prepare the site for future implant placement when needed.
You may be referred to a periodontist for extraction if:
- The tooth is severely fractured or broken below the gumline
- Bone loss or infection complicates removal
- The tooth is near vital structures, such as sinuses or nerves
- Future implant placement is planned
- You have systemic health conditions that require careful surgical management
Because of this advanced expertise, patients experience less post-operative discomfort, faster healing, and better long-term results.
Simple vs. Surgical Extractions
Simple Extraction
Depending on the condition of the tooth and surrounding bone, an extraction may be classified as simple or surgical.
The tooth is loosened and gently removed once visible above the gumline. Periodontists perform these with meticulous care to preserve tissue health and bone contour.
Surgical Extraction
When a tooth is broken, impacted, or surrounded by bone, a small surgical approach may be needed. The periodontist carefully removes minimal bone and sectioned parts of the tooth for a smooth and controlled extraction.
Because of advanced training and specialized instruments, the procedure is comfortable and efficient.

Socket Preservation & Ridge Management
A major advantage of having a periodontist perform your extraction is the opportunity for socket preservation.
Immediately after the tooth is removed, a bone graft can be placed into the empty socket to maintain bone volume and shape. This process is essential if you plan to receive a dental implant later, as it prevents the bone from collapsing or resorbing.
This level of foresight and precision sets periodontal specialists apart—ensuring that your oral foundation remains strong for future restorative options.
A Gentle, Specialized Approach
From start to finish, your extraction is planned with comfort, safety, and long-term results in mind. Local anesthesia and sedation options are available for optimal comfort, and post-operative care is closely monitored.
By combining advanced surgical skill with a deep understanding of gum and bone biology, our periodontist ensures that your extraction experience is smooth, conservative, and restorative in purpose —not just a removal, but the first step toward rebuilding oral health.
When Your Dentist Refers You to a Specialist
General dentists often refer patients to a periodontist when an extraction involves complexity or risk beyond routine care. Whether the concern is infection, bone loss, or preparation for implants, our team works closely with your referring dentist to ensure seamless coordination and a successful outcome.
You can feel confident knowing your care is in the hands of a specialist focused on precision, preservation, and long-term stability.
