Trusted care from Belle Meade Family Dentistry
Tooth extractions aren’t something anyone looks forward to — but when you need one, you want it handled safely, comfortably, and by people you trust. At Belle Meade Family Dentistry, we offer expert tooth extractions in Nashville, including wisdom teeth removal, with a focus on comfort and advanced care.
We see patients from across the region, including Belle Meade, West Nashville, and even Clarksville, thanks to our long-standing reputation for clinical excellence and compassion.
When is a tooth extraction necessary?
You may need a dental extraction if:
- A tooth is broken beyond repair
- Advanced decay has made a tooth non-restorable
- You’re experiencing crowding or orthodontic concerns
- Wisdom teeth are impacted, infected, or misaligned
- A root canal has failed
- Gum disease has loosened a tooth
We’ll walk you through your options, and if removal is the right call, we’ll keep it as simple and painless as possible.

Technology-Driven Comfort
As a Nashville laser dentist, we use advanced tools to make extractions cleaner, faster, and more comfortable.
Our modern clinic features:
- Laser Dentistry for cleaner incisions and faster healing
- Digital X-rays for low-radiation precision imaging
- 3D CT Scanning for surgical planning
- Sedation Dentistry for patients with anxiety or complex extractions
We also offer oral sedation for more complex or multiple-tooth extractions.
After Your Extraction: What to Expect
We’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions, but here’s what most patients experience:
- Mild swelling and soreness for 24–72 hours
- Soft food diet for 1–3 days
- A follow-up visit if needed
Most people are back to normal activities within a few days. For impacted wisdom teeth, healing may take a little longer. Our team stays available if any issues arise.

FAQ About Tooth Extraction
%20(1).webp)
Does a tooth extraction hurt?
No. We numb the area thoroughly and offer oral sedation for anxious patients. Most report only mild discomfort after the procedure.
How long does it take to recover?
Simple extractions heal in 3–5 days. Surgical or wisdom teeth removal may take up to a week for full healing.
Is wisdom tooth removal always necessary?
Not always. But if your wisdom teeth are impacted, painful, or causing crowding, it’s usually best to remove them early.
Can I eat after an extraction?
Yes — soft foods are fine after the numbness wears off. Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods for a few days.
Will I need a replacement tooth?
If it’s not a wisdom tooth, yes. We’ll talk about implants, bridges, or partial dentures based on your situation.
