Tooth Extraction
Need Tooth Extraction Today?
Types of Extractions We Perform
At Dental Made Easy, we offer two main types of tooth extractions: simple and surgical. The right procedure depends on the position of the tooth, the extent of the damage, and whether it’s fully erupted or impacted. Our experienced dentists will assess your condition with digital X-rays and recommend the safest and most effective approach.
Simple Extraction
A simple extraction is done when the tooth is fully erupted and clearly visible above the gum line. This is the most common type of removal, often used for teeth that are severely decayed, damaged beyond repair, or loose due to gum disease. The procedure is quick and straightforward, performed under local anesthesia. You may feel slight pressure, but not pain, and the entire process usually takes just a few minutes.
Surgical Extraction
A surgical extraction is more complex and required when the tooth is not easily accessible. This includes cases where the tooth has broken off at the gum line, is impacted (as is often the case with wisdom teeth), or is surrounded by dense bone. In these situations, we may need to make a small incision in the gum tissue and, in some cases, remove bone or section the tooth into smaller pieces to ensure safe removal. Surgical extractions are handled by our experienced team, and in complex cases, we may refer you to a trusted oral surgeon.
Sedation and Comfort Options
We understand that extractions can cause anxiety. That’s why we offer multiple sedation options for patients who need extra comfort, including:
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
- Oral conscious sedation
- IV sedation (in select cases or by referral)
Benefits of Tooth Extraction

Our team of expert dentists is trained in urgent care and compassionate patient communication. We’re proud to be a trusted choice for dental services throughout Long Island, serving patients of all ages in Brooklyn, Garden City Park, Forest Hills, and Astoria.
No, the procedure itself is not painful. We carefully numb the area using local anesthesia to make sure you feel no sharp sensations during the extraction. While you might feel some pressure, it’s not uncomfortable. After the numbness wears off, it’s normal to experience mild soreness or swelling, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. If needed, we may also prescribe stronger medication for more complex cases.
Recovery depends on the type of extraction. Most patients bounce back from a simple extraction within 2–3 days and can resume their normal routines quickly. Surgical extractions may involve a longer healing time, typically around 7 to 10 days, especially if bone was removed or stitches were placed. Following your aftercare instructions closely is key to a smooth recovery.
Yes — often as soon as the next day, especially if the extraction was simple and didn’t involve sedation. We do recommend taking the rest of the day off after the procedure to allow your body to begin healing. Avoid heavy lifting, intense exercise, or strenuous tasks for at least 24 hours to reduce the risk of bleeding or complications.
Emergency tooth extractions typically range from $250 to $600, depending on the complexity of the case (simple vs surgical) and whether sedation is used. We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost. For uninsured patients, we offer clear pricing and flexible payment options.
Absolutely. If you’re planning to replace the extracted tooth with a dental implant, we typically recommend waiting 2–3 months for the bone and gums to heal fully. In some cases, we may offer same-day extraction and implant placement, depending on the condition of the bone and surrounding tissue. Our team will discuss the best timing and options with you during your consultation.
We believe urgent dental care should be accessible. If you don’t have insurance, we offer transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. To make care more affordable, we accept CareCredit and other payment plans that allow you to pay for treatment over time. Our team is always happy to help you find a financial solution that works for you.
