Tooth Extraction
No one wants to lose a tooth. At Best Natural Smile, our first priority is always to save your natural teeth whenever possible. But there are times when a tooth extraction is the safest, most effective path forward for your oral health. When that moment comes, Dr. Feitelberg and our team are here to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

What to Expect During Your Extraction
We know that the idea of a tooth extraction can feel daunting, but the procedure itself is typically straightforward. Before we begin, we’ll ensure that the area is completely numb so that during the operation, you may feel pressure but not pain. For patients with dental anxiety or more complex extraction cases, we can discuss sedation options to help you feel relaxed throughout.
Once the tooth is removed, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth, comfortable recovery. Our team is always available to answer questions and address any concerns that arise after your visit.
What Comes Next: Replacing Your Tooth
Often, an extraction isn’t the end of the story. Missing teeth can affect your bite, your confidence, and your long-term oral health if left unaddressed. The good news is that our practice offers several excellent tooth replacement options to restore your smile, including dental implants, bridges, and other restorative solutions. We also perform bone grafts to strengthen the jawbone beneath your missing tooth, ensuring that it stays strong and ready to serve as the anchor point for a dental implant. Dr. Feitelberg will walk you through the best options for your specific situation so you can move forward with a plan you feel confident about.
