Tooth Extraction
A dentist will do everything possible to avoid extracting a tooth, but sometimes, it can be the best choice for your comfort and health.
Our dentist, Christopher Gillette, can address dental damage, a painful wisdom tooth, and more with a virtually painless tooth extraction.
At Ward Road Dental in Arvada, CO, we can handle even the most complex tooth extraction cases with expertise and a gentle touch.

When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
If possible, a dentist will always avoid extracting a tooth in favor of another restorative treatment. However, there are some cases in which extraction may be the best choice for your dental health.
When teeth are too compromised to be saved with fillings or crowns, extraction may be your only solution.
Your dentist will assess the condition of your teeth to determine which treatment is right for you, and if necessary, he can extract them to relieve pain and prevent the development of further dental health issues, like infection or gum disease.
If an infection in the inner part of the tooth goes untreated long enough, root canal therapy may no longer be enough to treat it.
The pain, inflammation, and sensitivity that accompany a root canal infection can be treated with tooth extraction, which is typically a simpler procedure than root canal therapy. You will likely notice relief from your symptoms as soon as the extraction is complete.
Wisdom tooth removal is one of the most common oral surgery procedures, and we recommend that most of our patients undergo it to avoid complications down the line, such as dental shifting, gum disease, and swelling.
At our practice in Arvada, we can treat even the most complex cases, including impacted wisdom teeth, to improve dental health and comfort.
We Can Fill the Gaps in Your Smile With Dental Implants and Restorations
You don't have to live with missing teeth after extraction. Ward Road Dental also offers a range of life-changing implant dentistry services. Once you have healed from your tooth extraction, we can replace your tooth roots with durable dental implants and create restorations that look and function just like real teeth.

I have always had bad anxiety when it comes to dental work/going to the dentist. Dr Gillette and his staff made me feel so comfortable and welcome. They eased my concerns and helped me to understand every step in my treatment. The staff is always so chipper and happy to see every one of their patients. I never felt rushed or insecure about the work that I was getting done. I am so happy to have found Dr Gillette! I recommend this office to everyone, children and adults alike.

View on GoogleWorried About Discomfort? Sedation Is Available
It may surprise you to hear that tooth extraction is virtually painless. In fact, this treatment can do more to relieve discomfort than cause it. Many patients at our Arvada office comfortably undergo the procedure with just local anesthesia. However, we understand that you may need a little extra help feeling comfortable during your appointment.
Sedation dentistry can enhance your experience by inducing a state of deep relaxation that makes treatment fly by without worry. You can choose from nitrous oxide, oral conscious, or IV sedation at our practice.
The Tooth Extraction Timeline
Tooth extraction is a simple oral surgery that can be performed with just local anesthesia. However, you can also receive sedation to ensure your comfort.
How Much Does Tooth Extraction Cost?
Tooth extraction generally costs between $279 and $513 at Ward Road Dental. Your final costs may vary depending on the complexity of your case and whether you received sedation during the procedure.
Thankfully, your dental insurance provider will likely help cover the cost of your tooth extraction. We accept all major dental insurance plans, as well as financing through CareCredit®, which offers loans with little or no interest and flexible payment plans to keep your treatment affordable.

What an amazing change! Imagine getting the care you actually NEED instead of being told you need some expensive and time sucking proceedure. I am a health care provider, I value good trustworthy care above all else. At Ward Road Dental I was not only given great care I was "cared about." I mattered!

Just went to Ward Road Dental. I give myself 2 stars based on my extreme fear of the dentist and for being a difficult patient. They, however, get FIVE stars! They couldn't have been more kind, caring, and accommodating! (Special thanks to Trena!) If you're a chicken like I am (and even if you're not), I highly recommend Ward Road Dental! I'm not even nervous about my next appointment!
