Whether it's due to advanced tooth decay, infection, overcrowding, or damage from trauma, extractions are at times the healthiest course of action.
Our compassionate team, led by Dr. Summer Suttles and Dr. Emily Snapp, offers a gentle, spa-like environment where your care and calm are always the priority.

Why Would I Need A Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extractions aren't just about removing a problem, they're often the first step to restoring dental health and preventing bigger issues down the road. Severe decay, infection, or a fractured tooth can lead to chronic discomfort, difficulty eating, and more serious complications if left untreated. In some cases, extractions are also essential for preparing your mouth for orthodontics, dentures, or implants.
At Park Cedar Dentistry, we treat every extraction with empathy and precision. Dr. Suttles and Dr. Snapp take time to walk you through your options, offer alternatives when available, and ensure the treatment is gentle from start to finish. The result? A healthier smile and a smoother path to long-term oral wellness, without unnecessary stress or confusion. Tooth extractions don’t have to be scary when delivered with care, education, and comfort at every turn.
The Benefits Of Tooth Extractions
Relieves Pain and Stops Spread of Infection
When a tooth is severely decayed or infected, removal brings immediate relief while protecting surrounding teeth and tissues from damage.
Makes Space for Orthodontic or Restorative Treatment
Extractions can create the room needed for a straighter smile or to accommodate bridges, dentures, or implants, setting the stage for confident, functional results.
Prevents Future Oral Health Complications
Removing problematic teeth can prevent abscesses, bone loss, and alignment issues, preserving your overall dental health for years to come.
The Tooth Extractions Treatment Process
Personalized Evaluation and Imaging
Your comfort starts at your very first appointment. We begin with a thorough dental exam and advanced imaging to assess the condition of your tooth and surrounding structures. During your consultation, Dr. Suttles or Dr. Snapp explains the diagnosis clearly and gently answers any questions you have. If extraction is recommended, you'll understand exactly why it's needed and what the next steps look like.
The Extraction Procedure
During the procedure, we use local anesthesia to keep you pain-free and relaxed. For more complex cases such as impacted teeth, we may refer you to an oral surgeon. Many extractions at our Charlotte office are completed in a short visit, with the option of relaxing amenities like headphones or neck pillows helping ease any lingering nervousness.
Aftercare and Healing Support
Once your tooth has been removed, we guide you through a customized aftercare plan to help speed up healing and minimize discomfort. You'll receive detailed instructions about medications, eating, and hygiene, and we stay closely connected with you in the days that follow. For patients needing restorative work, we offer dental implants.
