At Bergenfield Dental, tooth extractions are part of the comprehensive dental services offered in a professional, patient-focused setting. The team, led by Dr. Ehab Shahid, evaluates each case carefully to determine whether removal is the best option for your oral health, aiming to preserve natural teeth whenever possible. Extractions may be recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged beyond repair, or causing pain or infection. 

The procedure begins with a thorough exam, often including digital X-rays, to assess the tooth’s position and surrounding bone. Local anesthesia (and conscious sedation if needed) is used so you remain comfortable throughout the process. The dentist gently loosens and removes the tooth, then places gauze to help control bleeding. Post-procedure instructions are provided to support healing and reduce discomfort, including pain management, diet guidelines, and care tips for the extraction site. 

Bergenfield Dental also offers related restorative options such as dental implant placement — including immediate “teeth in a day” solutions when appropriate — to replace missing teeth and maintain function and esthetics. Female and male patients alike report a caring, professional experience with clear explanations and attention to comfort.
