Tooth Extractions in the Upper East Side, NYC

• Simple and complex extractions in-house

• Emergency extractions for infected teeth

• No referrals — your dentists handle it start to finish

• Replacement options discussed before we begin

We’ll always try to save a tooth when it’s in your best interest. But sometimes — because of advanced decay, severe fracture, infection, or bone loss — extraction is the most responsible recommendation.

When that’s the case, you deserve to hear it honestly, understand why, and have the procedure handled by someone who’s done it thousands of times.

At our Upper East Side office, we perform both simple and complex extractions in-house. You won’t be referred across town. Dr. Daniel and Dr. Bradley handle the procedure with the same precision and care they bring to every aspect of your treatment — and they’ll plan the next steps with you before you leave.

Simple Extractions

When a tooth is fully visible and accessible, removal is usually quick and straightforward. We numb the area completely before we start, check in with you along the way, and most of the time you’re back to your day sooner than you’d expect.

Complex Extractions

Some teeth can’t come out the simple way — they may be broken below the gum line, deeply rooted, or surrounded by bone that needs careful attention. These cases take more time and a more involved approach, and that’s where experience really matters. Dr. Daniel’s periodontal training means he works with bone and gum tissue every day — so even in complex cases, the procedure is precise and healing tends to go smoothly.

When Infection Can’t Wait

Nobody wants to lose a tooth. We don’t want that for you either — saving your natural tooth is always the first option we explore. But when infection has spread to the point where the tooth is compromised, the bone around it is breaking down, and keeping it puts the rest of your mouth at risk, extraction becomes the more responsible choice.

Waiting makes it worse. Infection doesn’t resolve on its own. It spreads — to the surrounding bone, to adjacent teeth, and in serious cases, beyond the mouth entirely. When we tell you a tooth needs to come out, it’s because we’ve looked at every option and this is the one that protects you.

Dr. Daniel’s periodontal training means he handles complex extractions right here, including teeth with infection, compromised bone, or surgical complexity. The dentist who diagnosed the problem is the same one who resolves it. No delay, no handoff, no starting over with a stranger.

What to Expect

We evaluate the tooth, the infection if present, and the surrounding structures to plan the safest approach. The area is numbed completely — you’ll feel pressure but not pain. If the infection is severe, we may prescribe antibiotics before or after the procedure to manage it properly.

A Plan for What Comes Next

An extraction is rarely the end of the conversation — it’s usually the beginning of a new one. Before we remove anything, we talk with you about what comes after. That might mean a dental implant, a bridge, or another approach depending on the location, your goals, and what makes the most sense long-term.

We don’t want you leaving our office with unanswered questions or wondering what happens next. You’ll know the plan before we start, you’ll understand why we’re recommending it, and you’ll have the time to ask anything that’s on your mind. That’s how we believe extraction should work — clear, careful, and thoughtful from the first conversation to the last follow-up.
