Tooth Extractions in Chandler, AZ

We always try to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, but sometimes extraction is the best path forward. Severe decay, advanced infection, a cracked root, impacted wisdom teeth, or crowding that interferes with orthodontic treatment — these are all situations where removing a tooth protects the rest of your oral health. At Gateway Family Dentistry in Chandler, AZ, Dr. Gailey performs extractions in-house so you don't need a referral to an oral surgeon for most cases.

We handle both simple extractions — for teeth that are fully visible above the gumline — and surgical extractions for teeth that are broken at the gumline, impacted, or otherwise difficult to access. Wisdom tooth removal is one of the most common surgical extractions we perform. Dr. Gailey uses careful, minimally invasive techniques to minimize tissue trauma, reduce healing time, and keep you as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure.

Sedation options are available for every extraction. Whether you prefer nitrous oxide for mild relaxation, oral sedation for moderate anxiety, or IV sedation for a deeper level of comfort, we'll match the approach to your needs. After the extraction, Dr. Gailey will discuss replacement options — including dental implants, bridges, and dentures — so you can plan ahead and avoid the complications that come with leaving a gap, such as bone loss and shifting teeth.
