Relieve Your Pain With a Tooth Removal in Greenville

It’s our goal to save your natural teeth whenever possible. So, even if you are in a great deal of pain, we try to repair your tooth with a procedure like a root canal. In some cases, though, the best way to protect other healthy teeth is by extracting your diseased or severely damaged tooth. By choosing us for your tooth removal in Greenville, you can:

  • Put an end to your pain and protect other teeth
  • Visit us for an early morning or late evening appointment
  • Chew and bite without discomfort
  • Avoid more complicated oral health problems later down the road

Call 618-664-1483 to schedule your appointment.

Save Your Smile With an Extraction Procedure

Tooth decay, gum disease, and crowded teeth are some of the top reasons you may need an extraction. While oral surgery isn’t fun, our team works to keep it as comfortable as possible. Here’s how it works:

  • Your dentist will examine your mouth, review your treatment plan, and answer any questions.
  • We’ll numb the area before the extraction begins to ensure your comfort.
  • After the procedure, we’ll provide aftercare instructions to support proper healing.

Once healed, we’ll review your restoration options. The best results often come from pairing a restoration with a dental implant, which acts as an artificial tooth root. Options include:

  • Single crown with implant – replaces one missing tooth
  • Implant-supported bridge – replaces multiple teeth without affecting healthy ones

If you need dentures, we also offer implant-retained, implant-supported, and traditional options.

Get relief with tooth removal in Greenville. Call 618-664-1483 for an appointment. For emergencies, we’ll do our best to see you the same day.

Does tooth removal hurt?2026-03-20T23:36:56+00:00

You can feel confident our experienced dental team will do all we can to make sure your tooth removal is as comfortable as possible. We’ll take a set of digital X-rays to help us plan your procedure, then we’ll use an anesthetic to ensure the area we’re working on is fully numb.

How long does it take a tooth removal to heal?2026-03-20T23:37:08+00:00

In most cases, you can expect your extraction site to heal fully within approximately seven to 10 days. Your healing will depend partly on how well you follow the aftercare instructions we’ll give you. If you’re careful about what you eat and drink and avoid vigorous exercise for a few days, your healing will be quicker and more comfortable.

How much does a tooth removal cost?2026-03-20T23:36:03+00:00

Even for a routine procedure like a tooth extraction, it is difficult to quote a price without first seeing you in our office. During your initial visit, we’ll examine your mouth and take X-rays to develop a plan for removing your tooth or teeth. Once we have more specific details, we can give you an accurate cost for your tooth removal.
