Tooth Extractions in Boynton Beach, Florida

Safe, gentle tooth removal for a healthier smile.

Comfortable Tooth Extractions You Can Trust

At Cap Dental, our goal is to help you keep your natural teeth whenever possible. However, when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or causing crowding, a tooth extraction may be the best way to protect your overall oral health.

Our dentists use modern techniques and gentle care to ensure a pain-free and stress-free experience. Whether it’s a simple extraction or a surgical one, we make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.

When You Might Need a Tooth Extraction

Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to prevent pain or infection from spreading. You may need one if you have:

  • A severely decayed or broken tooth
  • An impacted wisdom tooth
  • Overcrowded teeth before orthodontic treatment
  • Gum disease that has weakened tooth support
  • An infection that can’t be treated with a root canal

We’ll always perform a full evaluation first to see if the tooth can be saved before recommending extraction.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Before your extraction, we’ll numb the area using local anesthesia for a pain-free experience. The tooth is then carefully removed, and we provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you heal quickly.

For more complex cases, such as impacted teeth, we may use a minor surgical approach. You can rest easy knowing your care is in expert hands at Cap Dental.

Recovery and Aftercare Tips

Healing from a tooth extraction usually takes a few days. Here are some simple tips for a smooth recovery:

  • Bite down on gauze to stop bleeding.
  • Avoid using straws or spitting for 24 hours.
  • Eat soft foods and avoid hot drinks for the first day.
  • Keep the area clean but brush gently around it.
  • Take any prescribed medication as directed.

If you experience swelling or discomfort, our team is only a call away for guidance.

Why Replacing Missing Teeth Matters

Missing teeth can lead to shifting, bone loss, facial sagging, bite issues, and difficulty chewing or speaking. Replacing them protects your bite, restores your smile, and keeps you looking and feeling your best. Replacement options are:

Dental Implants: A long-lasting solution that looks and feels like a natural tooth while preserving bone.

Bridges: Fixed replacement anchored to nearby teeth—great when implants aren't an option.

Dentures: Removable options for replacing multiple teeth—affordable and non-invasive.

Types of Extractions

Simple Extractions

Performed on visible teeth that are easy to access and remove.

Surgical Extractions

Required for teeth that are broken off at the gumline or impacted.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Prevent future complications from impacted or misaligned third molars.

Extractions: What to Expect

Pre-Extraction

We perform a dental exam and take X-rays to diagnose the issue and clearly explain your personalized treatment plan.

Sedation Options

We offer safe and effective sedation options to help you feel calm, relaxed, and comfortable throughout your visit. Our sedation methods include local anesthesia, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and oral sedation. We also use gentle techniques to ensure minimal discomfort and provide a smooth, stress-free experience during your treatment.

Extraction

On the day of your extraction, you’ll be kept comfortable with anesthesia or sedation, the tooth will be gently removed, and you’ll leave with simple instructions for a smooth recovery.

Post-Op

We’ll check your healing at a follow-up visit, answer any questions, and ensure everything is on track for a smooth recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are extractions painful?

No. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options to ensure your extraction is as comfortable and pain-free as possible.

How long does recovery take?

Most patients recover within a few days. You may experience mild swelling or discomfort for 24–72 hours.

Can I go back to work the next day?

Many patients return to work the next day, depending on how they feel. For surgical or wisdom tooth extractions, you may want to rest for 1–2 days.

Will I need to replace the extracted tooth?

Yes, in most cases. Replacing a missing tooth helps prevent shifting teeth, jawbone loss, and bite problems. We’ll discuss options like implants, bridges, or dentures with you.

What can I eat after an extraction?

Stick to soft, cool foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, smoothies, and soup. Avoid hard, hot, or crunchy foods for a few days.

How do I care for the area after the extraction?

Avoid rinsing or drinking through a straw for 24 hours. Keep the area clean, take prescribed medication as directed, and follow all post-op instructions we provide.
