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

Consultation & Imaging:

We start with an exam and take digital X-rays or a CBCT scan to get a complete picture of your oral health. We’ll also discuss your goals and outline the best treatment plan.

Comfort Options

Before your procedure, we’ll numb the area with local anesthesia. Sedation options are available if you’d like extra help relaxing.

Extraction

We remove the tooth using gentle, precise techniques while carefully protecting the surrounding tissues.

Socket Preservation (if recommended)

If you plan for a future implant, we can place grafting material right after the extraction to help maintain bone strength and shape.

Follow-Up

Most patients feel better within a few days. We’ll schedule check-ins to make sure you’re healing well and, if needed, set the timeline for placing your restoration.

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.

Expert Veteran-Led Dentistry with Advanced Technology

Our experienced team takes pride in providing Veteran-led care and welcoming veterans, active-duty service members, and their families with the respect they deserve. Using advanced technology such as cone-beam 3D imaging, we plan each extraction with precision and care.

We provide treatment under one roof so you can count on continuity and comfort throughout the process. We also keep care affordable with free consultations, insurance guidance, and flexible financing options through CareCredit®.

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.
