Tooth Extraction near Hollywood, FL

Tooth pain that persists, visible decay spreading to the root, or a professional recommendation that a tooth simply cannot be saved — these are all signals that an extraction may be the most protective step for your oral health. What follows removal does not have to be a gap in your smile, because the right dental team makes sure you move from extraction to recovery and, when appropriate, to lasting tooth replacement.

Just minutes from Hollywood, FL, Haratz Dental in Aventura provides comfort-focused tooth extractions backed by over 40 years of clinical experience. Routine extractions are completed by our general dentistry team, and when a case calls for surgical removal, Dr. Francisco Oliver, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon, provides that care on site.

Every extraction begins with a thorough evaluation using digital X-rays to confirm removal is the right course before any procedure is scheduled. If oral surgery is needed, the same Aventura team manages your care from evaluation through healing, so you are never sent elsewhere mid-treatment.

Your Options

Signs You May Need a Tooth Extraction

Situation	What It Usually Means
Decay too advanced for a filling or crown	The tooth structure can no longer support a restoration
Infection that has reached the root or surrounding bone	Removal may be needed to stop the infection from spreading
Severe gum disease affecting the tooth's support	Bone and tissue loss can leave a tooth too loose to save
Crowding before orthodontic treatment	Removing a tooth can create space needed for alignment
A tooth fractured below the gumline	A break below the gumline is often unrestorable
An impacted or partially erupted tooth	Surgical removal by Dr. Oliver may be recommended

Our Approach

What to Expect at
Your Visit

Every extraction begins with a clinical exam and digital X-rays so you know exactly what to expect before any procedure is scheduled. We examine the tooth, surrounding gum tissue, and bone, then confirm whether a routine or surgical approach is right for your case.

From there, we discuss anesthesia and sedation options based on your comfort level, and you leave with clear aftercare instructions covering healing and, if relevant, next steps toward replacement.

The Procedure

What to Expect During Your
Tooth Extraction

Local anesthesia keeps the extraction site fully numb throughout the procedure, and patients who feel anxious about dental visits can add nitrous oxide or oral sedation to stay relaxed from start to finish. Our treatment rooms are designed for comfort, with Netflix and noise-canceling headphones available in every room.

Once a tooth is removed, the surrounding jawbone begins to resorb without intervention. Research published in the Journal of Medical Life found that socket preservation meaningfully protects the bone for patients who may want a dental implant later, which is why we discuss preservation options at the time of extraction whenever future replacement is a possibility.

"It is common for patients to experience varying levels of anxiety before dental implant surgery."

Recovery

Healing After Your
Tooth Extraction

Most patients manage post-extraction discomfort well with over-the-counter pain relief and cold compresses during the first two to three days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions before you leave our office, covering diet, oral hygiene, and activity restrictions while the extraction site heals.

Let us know if you are currently taking medications or have medical conditions that may affect healing, since certain conditions can influence recovery planning. If your case requires dental implant surgery afterward, we will walk you through timing and next steps during your consultation.

"Each patient may have a different experience based on several factors. These include the number of teeth we are replacing, the type of implant, and the patient's overall oral health."

Protecting Your Smile

Protecting Your Jawbone and
Planning for Replacement

Removing a tooth solves the immediate problem, but planning does not stop there. If you are considering a dental implant consultation, the timing of bone grafting relative to your extraction can affect your options later, so it is worth discussing replacement plans before the extraction date whenever possible.

Because oral surgery, bone grafting, and implant placement are all handled at the same Aventura practice, Hollywood patients avoid being referred to a separate office for each stage of care.

"The implant is essentially in the same place the root of the natural tooth was."

Common Questions

Tooth Extraction FAQ

Will my tooth extraction hurt?

Local anesthesia keeps the extraction site numb throughout the procedure. Patients who feel anxious can add nitrous oxide or oral sedation, and mild soreness for a day or two afterward is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

How do I know if I need a routine or surgical extraction?

Our team confirms this with a clinical exam and digital X-rays before your procedure. Routine extractions are completed by our general dentistry team, and impacted or more complex cases are referred to Dr. Oliver, our on-staff oral surgeon.

Do I need to replace the tooth after extraction?

Not always, but leaving a gap can shift neighboring teeth over time. If you are considering a dental implant, we can discuss bone grafting and timing during your consultation.

How long does recovery take?

Most patients feel back to normal within a few days for routine extractions, while surgical extractions may take closer to a week. We provide detailed aftercare instructions before you leave our office.

Do you accept insurance for tooth extractions?

Routine extractions may be covered under many PPO dental plans, and we are happy to verify your benefits beforehand. Surgical extractions performed by Dr. Oliver are cash-pay, with financing available through CareCredit and Cherry.
