Tooth Extractions in Nashville, TN

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.

We perform all standard and surgical extractions in-house:

• Simple Extractions – For loose or erupted teeth
  
• Surgical Extractions – For impacted or broken teeth
  
• Wisdom Teeth Removal – Including third molars causing pain or infection
  
• Emergency Extractions – For sudden pain or dental trauma

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.

Planning for Future Treatment

If you're having a tooth removed, we’ll talk about next steps to restore your bite and prevent shifting:

• Dental Implants
  
• Bridges
  
• Partial Dentures
  

If your case involves wisdom teeth, no replacement is needed — just healing and follow-up.
