Tooth Extractions in Amarillo, TX

While Dr. Charles Pybus always works to save your natural teeth, there are situations where extraction is the best option for your overall oral health. At Pybus Dental in Amarillo, Texas, we perform gentle tooth extractions with your comfort and recovery as our top priorities.

When Tooth Extraction Is Necessary

Extraction may be recommended when a tooth is severely decayed beyond repair, fractured below the gumline, causing crowding that affects alignment, affected by advanced periodontal disease, or failing to respond to root canal therapy. Dr. Pybus will always discuss alternatives with you and explain why extraction is the recommended course of action.

What to Expect During Extraction

Before the procedure, we numb the area completely with local anesthesia so you will not feel pain during the extraction. For patients with dental anxiety, sedation options are available to help you relax. Dr. Pybus uses careful technique to remove the tooth as gently as possible while preserving the surrounding bone and tissue.

Recovery After Extraction

We provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote smooth healing. Most patients resume normal activities within a day or two. We will discuss tooth replacement options such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures to restore your smile after the extraction site has healed.
