We will take care of you while you recover and make sure that everything goes smoothly throughout your treatment.
When Dental Extractions Are Needed
A dental extraction becomes necessary when no other treatment option will work. This might require an emergency dental appointment. The cause might be:
- A failed root canal
- A tooth broken at the gumline
- Extensive bone loss
- Serious periodontal disease
- A dental emergency
- Decay into the root
We strive to provide pain-free treatment. Both Dr. Wang and Dr. Ma are gentle, compassionate, and understanding. We offer nitrous oxide sedation for patients who experience anxiety.
We will remove your tooth, provide you with follow-up care, and make sure you have a plan for any discomfort. In many cases, over-the-counter pain medication will be enough to manage any post-surgery discomfort.
Replacing Missing Teeth in Aurora, IL
A gap in your smile may create problems with your bite, your speech, and your appearance. A missing tooth allows your remaining teeth to shift and can result in gum disease, sensitivity, decay, and bone loss.
We offer effective tooth-replacement options such as:
Dental implants – A dental implant can replace one tooth, or multiple dental implants can solve the problem of multiple missing teeth. They integrate with your jawbone and provide exceptional stability. Dental implants look completely natural.
A fixed dental bridge – A bridge holds an artificial tooth in place and keeps your other teeth from shifting.
Partial denture – A partial denture replaces multiple missing teeth and allows you to eat a wider variety of foods. Partial dentures will match your existing teeth.
Complete denture – A complete denture replaces all of your teeth on the top or bottom. We can design dentures that improve the appearance of your smile.
Post-Treatment Follow-Up
One of our dentists will give you a call on the evening after your treatment to check in and see how you are feeling and to answer any questions you may have. We offer this service at no additional charge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most dentists will do whatever they can to save a tooth, and extraction is always a treatment of last resort. But sometimes dental extractions are necessary to protect the health of the rest of the teeth in your mouth, and this is not something we take lightly at our Aurora, IL dental office.
Why a Dentist Might Recommend Dental Extractions
- Gum disease. Teeth that have become loose because of gum disease that has been left untreated often need to be extracted.
- Trauma. Anyone who suffers a blow to the mouth or who is involved in an automobile or sporting accident might need an extraction if a tooth is badly damaged.
- Deep decay. If tooth decay is too far gone for either a dental filling or dental crown, extraction may be the only answer.
- Wisdom teeth. These third molars, which most people get when they are in their late teens or early twenties, are no longer necessary for our modern lifestyles. When they are problematic, such as impacted or decayed, extraction is the best solution.

At Prairie Dental Care, we place patient comfort first. Dental extractions should not be painful. Though patients may feel pressure as the dentist performs the extraction, the mouth will be under local anesthetic, preventing the patient from feeling any pain.
Why Would I Need An Extraction?
Extractions are usually done as a last resort to prevent health risks. We might also extract teeth to make room for things like implants and dentures. Typically we will do everything in our power to protect and save a natural tooth to keep it in the patient's mouth.
We do this because teeth are essential for the mouth's function and do important things like keep other teeth straight.
If an infected or damaged tooth cannot be saved, then extraction is preferable to leaving the damaged tooth in the mouth, where it can cause infection in the gums and jaw.
