No one looks forward to having a tooth removed—but when it’s necessary, choosing the right dental team makes all the difference.
At Winwood Dental, we’ve proudly served the Lebanon community for over 20 years. Our experienced team ensures that every extraction is performed with precision, care, and your comfort in mind.
A tooth extraction can help you:
If you’re experiencing urgent discomfort, our emergency dentistry services offers fast relief. Same-day emergency appointments are often available, so you don’t have to live with dental pain.
While preserving your natural teeth is always our goal, extraction may be the best solution in certain cases, including:
Our team will always explore all possible alternatives before recommending removal. In some cases, extraction may be part of a larger treatment plan such as full mouth reconstruction to restore your smile and function.
We make every dental extraction simple, safe, and comfortable while prioritizing your overall oral health. From evaluation to tooth extraction aftercare, our team ensures a smooth experience and proper healing of the extraction site.
Dr. Adkison will examine your tooth, gum tissue, and surrounding bone while taking digital X-rays to assess the need for removal of a tooth. If your case is complex or requires surgical extractions, we may coordinate care through our oral surgery services to ensure the best outcome.
We always consider conservative dental treatment options first, but if extraction is necessary, we’ll fully explain the process and what to expect. Your plan will be tailored to your needs, whether it’s a simple dental extraction or a more advanced oral surgery procedure.
Local anesthesia is used to ensure you don’t feel pain during the procedure, while sedation options help reduce anxiety and prevent severe pain. We also provide guidance on appropriate pain medication to keep you comfortable during and after your visit.
During the removal of a tooth, we carefully access the tooth socket and protect the surrounding bone and gum tissue. Whether simple or surgical extractions are required, our approach minimizes trauma and promotes faster healing.
After your procedure, a blood clot forms in the extraction site to protect the area and support healing, making proper tooth extraction aftercare essential. We’ll guide you on how to eat soft foods, avoid complications, and when to contact an oral surgeon immediately if unusual symptoms occur.
Take the first step toward relief and better oral health—schedule your tooth extraction today and let our experienced team provide the comfortable, expert care you deserve.
We understand that dental surgery can feel intimidating, especially if you need a surgical procedure like having a tooth pulled. That’s why we offer sedation options, including local anesthetic for a routine extraction and general anesthesia for more complex cases, to keep you comfortable throughout the extraction process.
Whether you need a simple extraction or more advanced care near the gum line or maxillary sinus, we tailor your experience to your needs. After your procedure, we’ll guide your healing process with tips like using an ice pack, eating soft foods, and protecting the extraction site and tooth socket to prevent issues like dry socket while keeping your other teeth healthy.
Most patients recover quickly with proper care. After your procedure, we’ll guide you on:
Our team is always available if you have questions during recovery. After healing, you may also consider enhancing your smile with a smile makeover to restore both function and appearance.

Most extractions take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity. More involved cases may take a bit longer.
You can drive if only local anesthesia is used. If you receive sedation or general anesthesia, you’ll need someone to drive you home.
Many patients return to normal activities the next day. For more complex procedures, 1–2 days of rest is recommended.
Avoid hot, crunchy, spicy, or acidic foods for a few days. You should also skip straws and carbonated drinks to protect healing.
Ongoing pain, swelling, bleeding, or a bad taste may signal an issue. Contact your dental provider if you notice these symptoms.
