Tooth Extraction

At Smilehaus Newmarket, we understand how challenging it can be to hear that you need to have a tooth removed, but sometimes it is the safest and healthiest option. If extraction is necessary, our experienced dentists are here to provide compassionate, expert treatment and a comfortable, stress-free procedure.

Reasons for Tooth Extraction

There are several reasons why our dentists in Newmarket, ON, would recommend tooth extraction:

  • A tooth is hopelessly decayed and can’t be salvaged
  • A tooth infection or abscess is too advanced for root canal treatment
  • A tooth has broken off below the gumline and must be removed
  • A wisdom tooth is causing crowding or is impacted (stuck) in the gum

We may also recommend removing one or more teeth in combination with other procedures, such as orthodontic treatment, or when preparing for dentures or dental implants.

Why Choose Us for Tooth Extraction?

Nobody wants to hear they need a tooth removed, but we aim to make the entire process as stress-free and comfortable as possible.
We Remove Wisdom Teeth
Referrals for wisdom tooth extraction are common, but not at our dental office. Our experienced dentists handle all extractions in-house, including complex impacted wisdom teeth, so you receive seamless care without the inconvenience of multiple offices.
We Offer Comforting IV Sedation
Dental anxiety shouldn't prevent you from getting the care you need. Dr. Joo is trained and licensed to provide IV sedation right here in our office, allowing you to remain deeply relaxed and comfortable throughout your procedure while we safely monitor you.
Open Seven Days a Week
Dental emergencies and extraction needs don't follow a schedule. With appointments available seven days a week, including evening hours until 8 PM Monday through Thursday, we can see you at your convenience or when you need urgent care fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tooth extraction should not hurt during the procedure. Before we begin, we thoroughly numb the treatment area with local anesthetic, so you'll feel pressure and movement but no pain.

Managing Pain During Tooth Extraction

At Smilehaus Newmarket, we understand that dental anxiety is real, and fear of pain often prevents patients from getting necessary care. That's why we offer multiple comfort options beyond standard numbing:

  • Local anesthetic — Complete numbness in the treatment area, so you feel no pain
  • Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) — Mild sedation that helps you relax while remaining fully conscious
  • IV sedation — Dr. Joo provides deeper sedation right here in our office, allowing you to drift into a deeply relaxed state with little to no memory of the procedure

IV sedation is especially helpful for complex extractions like impacted wisdom teeth or for patients with significant dental anxiety.

What to Expect After Your Extraction

After the anesthetic wears off, usually within a few hours, you may experience mild discomfort. Most patients manage this easily with over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and pain management guidance tailored to your specific procedure.

If you're concerned about pain during tooth extraction, please discuss your anxiety with us during your consultation. We're experienced in helping nervous patients feel comfortable and safe.

Call Smilehaus Newmarket at (647) 927-6912 to schedule your consultation. We serve patients throughout Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, Aurora, and surrounding Ontario communities.

What to Expect with Tooth Extraction

We carefully plan tooth removal using digital scans that show us the exact location of tooth roots and surrounding structures. This means there’s no guesswork, allowing us to complete the procedure more efficiently and with minimal trauma.

Before beginning the procedure, we thoroughly numb the treatment area. You will feel some pressure, but no pain. Our dentists efficiently complete your tooth extraction, and our dental team will provide detailed instructions for at-home care and recovery.

We Remove Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth often cause problems, such as crowding and difficulty with brushing and flossing, because of their position far back in the mouth. At Smilehaus Newmarket, we typically recommend removing them, especially impacted wisdom teeth, when they threaten the health or stability of surrounding teeth.

For your comfort, we offer nitrous oxide for mild relaxation or IV sedation. Dr. Joo is trained and licensed in IV sedation and will monitor you carefully throughout, ensuring your complete safety. You'll just need someone to drive you home afterward.
