Tooth extractions in Cooper City
At our dental office in Cooper City, our goal is always to preserve your natural teeth. However, in some cases, a tooth extraction may be the right option to protect your oral health.
The treatmentExtractions
When is a tooth extraction needed?
A tooth extraction is recommended when a tooth can't be saved: severe decay, advanced gum disease, a fracture beyond repair, an infection a root canal can't fix, or an impacted wisdom tooth. At Jonari Dental of Cooper City the goal is always to keep your natural teeth, and when one must come out we do it gently and talk through replacement options.
With advanced techniques and a gentle approach, we make the process safe and comfortable.
A dental extraction may be recommended for:
- Severe tooth decay that cannot be restored
- Advanced gum disease (periodontal disease)
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Broken or fractured teeth beyond repair
- Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
- Infected teeth that cannot be saved with a root canal
Types of tooth extractions
- Simple ExtractionUsed for teeth that are visible above the gum line. The procedure is quick and performed under local anesthesia.
- Surgical ExtractionRequired when teeth are impacted or broken beneath the gum line. This procedure is often necessary for wisdom teeth.

Recovery and aftercare
Most patients recover quickly after an extraction. Mild discomfort and swelling may occur for a few days, but this is normal.
To speed up healing: take prescribed or recommended pain relievers; apply a cold compress to reduce swelling; avoid smoking, drinking through straws, or vigorous rinsing; stick to soft foods for the first 24–48 hours; and keep the area clean with gentle rinsing and brushing.
Tooth replacement after extraction
If you need a replacement after an extraction, we offer several restorative options, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures, to restore both function and appearance.

Have another question? Call us — in English or Spanish.
Does getting a tooth pulled hurt?
Thanks to modern local anesthesia, the area will be completely numb, so you shouldn't feel any pain during the extraction. You may feel some pressure, but the process is designed to be as comfortable as possible.
How long does the recovery take?
Most patients feel back to normal within 3 to 7 days. Following our aftercare instructions—like resting and eating soft foods—will help speed up the healing process and prevent complications.
What should I avoid after an extraction?
To avoid a dry socket, do not smoke, use straws, or spit forcefully for at least 24 to 48 hours. These actions can dislodge the blood clot needed for proper healing.
Do I need to replace the extracted tooth?
Unless it's a wisdom tooth, we usually recommend replacing it to prevent other teeth from shifting. Options like dental implants or bridges can restore your smile's function and appearance.
When can I go back to work or school?
Most patients can return to their daily routine the following day. However, if your job involves heavy lifting or intense physical activity, we recommend taking 48 hours off to rest.
