Tooth Extractions in Chandler, AZ
Safe, gentle extractions with sedation options available. No referral needed.
Overview
When a Tooth Can't Be Saved
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.

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.

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.
