Tooth Extractions in Fort Worth, TX

When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?

Tooth extractions are commonly recommended in the following cases:

• Severe tooth decay that cannot be treated with a filling or crown
• Cracked or fractured teeth below the gumline
• Advanced gum disease causing loose teeth
• Overcrowding in preparation for orthodontics
• Impacted wisdom teeth
• Infected teeth that do not respond to root canal therapy

If you're experiencing persistent pain or swelling, don’t wait. We offer same-day dental emergency care to evaluate and treat urgent dental needs.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction in Fort Worth

Wisdom teeth often erupt in late teens or early twenties and can cause complications like pain, crowding, or infection. At Bliss Modern Dentistry, we perform wisdom teeth extractions in-office, with options for local anesthesia and sedation for a stress-free experience.

Dr. Morningstar will assess your wisdom teeth with digital imaging and provide a customized treatment plan based on the position and condition of the teeth. After the procedure, we give you clear aftercare instructions to support fast, healthy healing.

What to Expect During an Extraction

The process is typically straightforward:

1. Consultation and Imaging – We’ll conduct a thorough exam and review digital X-rays.
2. Comfort and Numbing – Local anesthesia is used to numb the area; sedation may be offered if needed.
3. Gentle Removal – Using precise instruments, the tooth is carefully extracted.
4. Aftercare and Healing – You'll receive guidance on managing discomfort and preventing dry socket.

Healing typically takes about 7–10 days, and we’ll monitor your progress during follow-up visits.

Restoring Your Smile After Tooth Removal

If you're having a tooth removed, we’ll also discuss restorative options like dental implants, dentures and partials, or dental crowns, depending on your needs.

As part of our comprehensive general dentistry services, we help you make informed decisions about the best long-term outcomes for your oral health.
