Tooth Extractions in Manhattan, NYC
Gentle, Surgical and Routine Extractions in Midtown and Downtown NYC
Whether it’s a problematic wisdom tooth or a severely damaged tooth beyond repair, safe and efficient extractions are sometimes the best option to protect your overall oral health. At Madison Dental Loft in Midtown and Concierge Dental Design in the Financial District, we offer both routine and surgical tooth extractions—including wisdom teeth removal—with a focus on preserving comfort and minimizing recovery time.
Our approach combines modern digital imaging and advanced techniques to help patients navigate this common procedure with clarity and confidence.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
Tooth extractions are typically a last resort, but they’re sometimes necessary to prevent pain, infection, or misalignment. Common reasons for extraction include:
- Severe decay or infection not treatable with root canal therapy
- Advanced gum disease compromising tooth stability
- Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth
- Fractures below the gumline or vertical root cracks
- Overcrowding, often in preparation for orthodontic treatment
When an extraction is indicated, we use precise diagnostics, including digital X-rays and 3D scans, to plan the least invasive approach possible.
Types of Extractions Offered
Simple Extractions
Performed on teeth that are fully erupted and visible above the gumline, typically under local anesthesia.
Surgical Extractions
Required when a tooth is broken, impacted, or not fully erupted—such as many wisdom teeth. This involves making a small incision in the gum and possibly removing a portion of bone to access the tooth.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Third molars often cause pain, crowding, or infection. We provide evaluation and removal of wisdom teeth, with sedation options available to ensure your comfort.
Focused on Comfort and Recovery
At Madison Dental Loft, patients receive tooth extractions guided by CBCT planning and digitally integrated workflows for optimal accuracy. Dr. Yohan Kim, Dr. Jonathan Wu, Dr. Kate Zhang, Dr. Sahiba Atwal-Purewal, and Dr. Raysa Perez specialize in surgical efficiency and postoperative healing, helping reduce swelling and complications through minimally invasive protocols.
Concierge Dental Design offers a supportive environment for both routine and complex extractions. Dr. Violet Jang brings a patient-focused mindset to surgical care, delivering smooth, stress-free extractions that prioritize long-term oral health and facial esthetics.
Aftercare and Tooth Replacement Options
Following extraction, we offer detailed post-op care to promote healing and avoid complications like dry socket. If tooth replacement is needed, our team may recommend:
- Dental implants for single-tooth restoration
- Bridges to replace one or more missing teeth
- Full or partial dentures as a removable solution
We’ll walk you through your options during your visit to ensure the treatment plan aligns with your goals.
Sedation Available for Anxious Patients
We understand that oral surgery can feel intimidating. Our offices offer multiple sedation dentistry options, including IV sedation, nitrous oxide, and oral sedation, to help you feel relaxed and in control from start to finish.
