YOUR VISIT
Types of Tooth Extractions We Offer
Not every extraction is the same, and the right approach depends on the tooth, its position, and your overall dental health. We offer simple and surgical extractions, along with dedicated wisdom teeth removal, all performed right here in our Cave Creek office.
Simple and Surgical Extractions
After your exam and imaging, Dr. Kapers will know exactly which approach is right for your tooth. Here is what each one involves:
| Simple Extraction | Surgical Extraction | |
|---|---|---|
| When it's used | Tooth has fully come through the gum | Tooth is broken below the gum line, impacted, or hasn't fully come in |
| What happens | Tooth is gently loosened and removed | A small opening in the gum is made to remove the tooth safely |
| Comfort options | Numbing and comfort options throughout | Numbing and comfort options throughout; sedation available |
Both types are done with your comfort in mind so you stay relaxed from start to finish.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal in Cave Creek is one of the most common procedures we perform, especially for teens and young adults. Wisdom teeth often come in crooked, impacted, or without enough room, which can crowd nearby teeth or lead to infection over time. We check your wisdom teeth with imaging first, then recommend removal only when it's truly needed for your comfort and long-term oral health.
OUR APPROACH
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your visit starts with an exam and a review of your X-rays so we can confirm the safest way to remove the tooth. We'll numb the area completely, and for patients who feel anxious or need a more involved surgical extraction, our sedation dentistry options can help you stay calm and comfortable. After the tooth is out, we'll go over simple aftercare instructions for healing, swelling, and diet. If you're missing a tooth and thinking about an implant down the road, some surgical sites may benefit from bone grafting to help keep the jawbone healthy for future treatment. Our oral surgery team is here to support every step of the way.
GOOD TO KNOW

SERVICE FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
We numb the area completely before starting, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. Some soreness and mild swelling are normal for a few days afterward, and over-the-counter pain relief usually helps. For more involved surgical extractions, sedation options can keep you comfortable throughout.
Cost depends on the type of extraction and your specific insurance plan. We accept most major dental insurance plans and will review your coverage and out-of-pocket cost with you clearly before any treatment begins.
We offer same-day emergency appointments whenever possible for a painful, broken, or infected tooth. Call our Cave Creek office as soon as you notice a problem, and we'll do our best to get you in quickly.
