A Tooth That Can't Be Saved

If your dentist has mentioned that a tooth may need to come out, or you're dealing with pain from a tooth that's clearly beyond repair, it's worth understanding what's next. Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons takes a gentle, whole-body approach focused on your comfort during the procedure and clean, healthy healing afterward.

Signs You Should Bring It Up

  • A tooth is severely decayed, fractured, or infected beyond repair
  • A tooth is too crowded or impacted for other treatment to address
  • You're in pain from a tooth your dentist has flagged as unsavable
  • You want a gentle, whole-body approach to the procedure and healing

How We Evaluate at The Holistic Dental Center

Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons thoroughly numbs the area so you're comfortable throughout, then carefully removes the tooth and cleans the socket to support healthy healing. Supportive tools like laser therapy or ozone may be used to help the site heal well.

What Happens Next

Mild swelling and discomfort for a few days afterward is normal, and most patients feel back to normal within a week with clear aftercare guidance. If a tooth is causing you pain, call us at (509) 325-2051.
