Extractions & Preservation in Wasilla, AK
Sometimes, the best way to protect your oral health is to remove a tooth that’s too damaged to save. At Aesthetic Family Dentistry, we make extractions as gentle, efficient, and comfortable as possible and take steps to preserve your smile. Whether it’s a planned tooth replacement in Wasilla or an emergency extraction, our goal is to help you heal quickly and maintain your smile's health, function, and appearance.
Precise Tooth Extractions in a Comfortable Environment
We use advanced diagnostics, including digital X-rays and 3D scans, to determine the safest approach for each extraction. Local anesthesia, gentle techniques, and sedation options help minimize discomfort, while our calming environment and supportive team make the process less stressful.
We offer:
- Emergency extractions for sudden pain or injury
- Removal of severely decayed or fractured teeth
- Extraction of teeth that interfere with orthodontic treatment
- Surgical removal when teeth have broken at the gumline or are impacted
Don’t wait in pain—relief is just one call away.
What Happens Before, During, and After Your Extraction
Aftercare & Healing
After tooth extraction, you’ll receive simple, written instructions on managing the first 24–72 hours, what to eat, and how to keep the area clean. Most patients feel ready to resume normal activities quickly. We’ll see you for follow-ups to confirm healthy healing before proceeding with your restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Extractions
Q. Do you handle emergency extractions?
A. Yes. If you’re in severe pain or have a broken tooth, we can often see you the same day for an emergency extraction to relieve discomfort and protect your oral health.
Q. Will a bone graft make getting a tooth implant in Wasilla easier later?
A. Yes. A bone graft maintains bone shape and density, creating a stable foundation for a future implant.
Q. How soon can I get a replacement tooth?
A. Depending on your oral health and whether a bone graft was placed, some patients can receive an implant immediately, while others may need a healing period first.
Q. Is the procedure painful?
A. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options to make extractions comfortable. Most patients report only mild soreness afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter medication.
