Tooth Extractions

If a tooth is severely decayed, fractured beyond repair, or causing pain that can’t be resolved with other treatments, an extraction may be the healthiest option. At Marina Klappas DDS, P.C., we perform gentle, precise extractions designed to relieve discomfort and protect your long‑term oral health.

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that can no longer be restored. This may be due to deep decay, infection, advanced gum disease, or a crack that extends below the gumline. Removing the tooth prevents further pain, swelling, and damage to surrounding teeth and bone.

Extractions are typically completed in a single visit. We numb the area thoroughly to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. Dr. Klappas gently loosens and removes the tooth using modern techniques that minimize pressure and discomfort. Afterward, we’ll review healing instructions and discuss replacement options if needed — such as implants, bridges, or partial dentures.

We prioritize comfort, communication, and a calm experience. Dr. Klappas explains each step before it happens, uses a gentle approach, and ensures you feel supported from start to finish. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress‑free as possible.

We serve patients throughout Williston Park, East Williston, Mineola, Roslyn, and the greater Long Island community seeking safe, comfortable tooth removal when necessary.
