Tooth Removal
Gentle, efficient tooth extractions with sedation options to keep you comfortable throughout the process.
Overview
Gentle Extractions When You Need Them
While we always try to save natural teeth whenever possible, there are times when extraction is the best course of action — whether due to severe decay, infection, crowding, or a damaged tooth that can't be restored. At Gateway Family Dentistry in Chandler, AZ, Dr. Gailey performs tooth extractions with a gentle approach and a focus on your comfort.
We handle both simple extractions (for teeth visible above the gumline) and surgical extractions (for teeth that are broken, impacted, or difficult to access). Our team will walk you through the process, explain your sedation options, and make sure you feel at ease before, during, and after the procedure.
After extraction, Dr. Gailey will discuss replacement options such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures to restore your smile and prevent the complications that can arise from missing teeth, including bone loss and shifting of adjacent teeth.

Process
What to Expect
Evaluation & X-Rays
Dr. Gailey examines the tooth and takes X-rays to assess the roots, surrounding bone, and the best approach for extraction.
Anesthesia & Sedation
The area is thoroughly numbed with local anesthesia. If you've chosen sedation, it's administered before the procedure begins.
Extraction
Using specialized instruments, Dr. Gailey carefully removes the tooth. For surgical extractions, a small incision may be needed to access the tooth.
Post-Op Care
Gauze is placed to control bleeding, and you'll receive detailed aftercare instructions. Pain medication is prescribed as needed, and a follow-up is scheduled.
