“I recently had an emergency which required a dental extraction. Dr. Bob Wilson quickly got me on the schedule for same day treatment, diagnosed the problem, and performed an extraction. Everything was painless… I will be going back to have an implant placed.”

When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Dental extractions are sometimes necessary to preserve your oral health and alleviate pain.
One may be required for various reasons, including cases of:
- Severe decay
- Infection
- Gum disease
- Trauma
- Preparing for orthodontics
- Removing impacted wisdom teeth
Dr. Wilson will carefully assess your situation and recommend an extraction only if it is the most appropriate solution to maintain your oral health.
The Extraction Process
Tooth extraction procedures can take anywhere from 20–60 minutes to complete.
Dr. Bob Wilson always performs the most conservative treatment possible. Before extracting a tooth, he’ll evaluate the tooth and surrounding structures to make sure that tooth extraction is the best option. If you need a tooth extraction, you can expect these steps:
- Anesthesia: Our Nashville dentist will first ensure your comfort with local anesthesia and optional sedation.
- Incision: Dr. Wilson will make an incision in the gums so he can better access the tooth.
- Removal: Dr. Wilson will gently rock the tooth out of the socket or divide it into smaller pieces for easier removal.
- Packing: Dr. Wilson will clean the tooth socket and place sutures if necessary. He will place gauze at the extraction site so a blood clot can form and protect the area.
- Aftercare: After the extraction, our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote proper healing and prevent complications.
