Teeth Extraction in Houston, TX

What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that's too damaged, decayed, or problematic to save. It can be a simple extraction for a visible tooth or a surgical one for a tooth that's broken or impacted below the gumline. While we always aim to preserve your natural teeth, removing a tooth is sometimes the healthiest option to relieve pain and prevent further problems. At Lava Dental, we perform extractions gently and comfortably, and we'll discuss replacement options whenever one is needed.

The Benefits of Tooth Extraction

Pain Relief

Removing a severely damaged or infected tooth brings fast relief from the pain and pressure it's been causing.

Stops Infection

Taking out a badly infected tooth prevents bacteria from spreading to nearby teeth, gums, and bone.

Protects Health

Extraction can protect your overall oral health by removing a tooth that threatens the ones around it.

Makes Room

Removing overcrowded or problem teeth can create space for better alignment or future restorations.

What Happens During a Tooth Extraction?

  1. 01

    Warm Welcome

    A friendly team member greets you by name and helps you settle comfortably into the chair, with time to ask questions before we begin.

  2. 02

    Exam & Imaging

    Your dentist examines the tooth and reviews X-rays to plan the safest, most comfortable way to remove it.

  3. 03

    Gentle Numbing

    We fully numb the area, and offer sedation options, so you stay relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure.

  4. 04

    Tooth Removal

    Your dentist gently loosens and removes the tooth, working carefully to protect the surrounding gum and bone.

  5. 05

    Aftercare Guidance

    We help the area begin healing and send you home with simple instructions for a smooth, comfortable recovery.

When Do You Need a Tooth Extraction in Houston, TX?

Notice any of these? Schedule a visit. Early care is easier care.

Severe Damage

A tooth that's badly broken or cracked beyond repair often needs to be removed to protect your oral health.

Deep Decay

When decay or infection has destroyed too much of a tooth, extraction may be the safest, healthiest option.

Impacted Teeth

Teeth that can't fully erupt, like some wisdom teeth, may need removal to prevent pain and crowding.

Severe Crowding

Sometimes a tooth is removed to relieve crowding or to make room for orthodontic treatment.

I had a terrible tooth pain that was unbearable. I called many places and found Lava Dental on my browser. It was late in the day and they fit me in for a same day appointment. The staff were super friendly and listened to my concerns. I was seen immediately and explained in detail on what I had and the solutions. Dr. Ebrahimi was super gentle and fast. She's a true master of her profession. I was in and out quickly. I had a wisdom tooth removed; it was quick and, most importantly, painless. I want to thank Sylvia, Orlando, and Dr. Ebrahimi for their prompt assistance and warm hospitality. They were able to quickly provide a painless resolution to my problem. I would highly recommend this dental office.

So far, my experience with Lava Dental has been great. I arrived feeling nervous and anxious about my teeth, but the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which immediately put me at ease. I had an extraction done, and the process was quick and far less unpleasant than I expected.

I just love Nova Dental and the service is world class. From the front to the back the are so nice. Venessa greets you with a smile and always ask how I am doing. Stephanie explains exactly what my insurance covers and help me schedule to get all my services done so I have 0 or minimum out of pocket. Ryan and Jackie the dental staff make sure I am comfort and let me know every step that the doctor will be doing. Taking X-ray, anesthesia, just all has been so good. Dr. Balai is truly the best. I had deep cleaning, crown put on and extraction. I didn't have any issues. I recommend Nova Dental for all your dental needs. I am looking forward to the New Year to complete my dental needs.

I had an amazing experience at Lava Dental! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They took the time to answer all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. I brought all of my children, and two of my children have special needs, so it means a lot to me when a dental office takes the time to understand their individual needs and makes them feel comfortable. Lava Dental did exactly that! They were patient, gentle, caring, and very detailed with each of my children. They treated every child with kindness and made sure they understood what was happening. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and compassion the entire team showed my family. They made what can sometimes be a stressful experience feel comfortable and positive. Thank you, Lava Dental, for taking such great care of my children and making us feel welcomed and valued. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🦷

Dr. Milad Balaei is truly one of the best dentists I've ever experienced. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and comfortable. He is incredibly professional, patient, and detail-oriented, making sure everything is done perfectly and pain-free. He takes the time to explain every step, which builds so much trust and confidence. The results are always amazing, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. If you're looking for a skilled, honest, and caring dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Balaei
