Comfortable, Anxiety-Free Extractions

At Balanced Dental Studio, we transform what might seem like a stressful procedure into a comfortable experience. We begin with a thorough evaluation using advanced 3D dental imaging to visualize the exact position of the tooth and surrounding structures. This detailed planning allows us to perform extractions with precision and minimal tissue disruption.


For patients experiencing dental anxiety, we offer several comfort options including nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas), comfort amenities like noise-canceling headphones and light-blocking glasses, and even Netflix viewing options during your procedure. Our team takes the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring you feel informed and at ease throughout your visit. We've created an environment where even the most anxious patients can receive necessary treatment without fear.

Advanced Extraction Technology

What sets our extraction services apart is our commitment to using state-of-the-art technology and techniques that minimize discomfort and promote faster healing. Our digital planning process allows for more precise extractions with less trauma to surrounding tissues. We utilize specialized instruments designed to preserve bone structure - an important consideration if you're considering tooth replacement options like dental implants in the future.


As a practice focused on whole-health dentistry, we consider how your oral health connects to your overall wellbeing. Following extraction, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and nutritional counseling to support optimal healing. For patients with concerns about breathing and airway health, we take special precautions during the extraction process to ensure your airway remains uncompromised throughout the procedure and recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Extractions

How do I know if I need a tooth extraction?

Extractions become necessary when a tooth is severely damaged by decay, infection, or trauma beyond what can be repaired with fillings, crowns, or root canals. Signs that might indicate the need for extraction include severe tooth pain, pain when chewing, gum swelling, or loosening of the tooth. During your comprehensive exam at our Lakewood dental office, we'll evaluate whether extraction is the best option for your specific situation.

How painful is a tooth extraction?

At Balanced Dental Studio, we focus on providing the highest quality care with minimal discomfort. With modern anesthetics, proper technique, and comfort options like nitrous oxide sedation, most patients experience pressure during the procedure rather than pain. Our team takes extra steps to ensure you're comfortable throughout the entire process, addressing dental anxiety with our patient-centered comfort approach.

How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?

Most patients begin feeling better within 24-48 hours after extraction, with complete healing of the socket taking about 1-2 weeks. The initial blood clot forms within the first day, and new tissue begins forming within the first week. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote faster healing and minimize complications. For patients with special health considerations, we develop customized recovery plans to address your specific needs.

What happens if I don't replace an extracted tooth?

When a tooth is removed and not replaced, neighboring teeth may gradually shift into the empty space, potentially causing misalignment issues and bite problems. The jawbone in the extraction area can also begin to deteriorate over time due to lack of stimulation. Depending on the location of the extraction, this may affect your facial appearance and chewing function. We can discuss replacement options such as implants, bridges, or partial dentures during your consultation.

Are there alternatives to tooth extraction?

Whenever possible, we explore alternatives to extraction such as root canal therapy, crowns, or other restorative procedures to save your natural tooth. At Balanced Dental Studio, our goal is to help our patients smile confidently, breathe clearer, and live healthier lives, which often means preserving natural teeth when feasible. We only recommend extraction when it's truly the best option for your overall health and well-being.

How much does tooth extraction cost in Lakewood?

The cost of tooth extraction varies depending on the complexity of the case and whether it's a simple or surgical extraction. We provide affordable dental care and work with most insurance providers to maximize your benefits. For patients without insurance, we offer membership plans with significant discounts on services. During your consultation, we'll provide a transparent cost estimate and discuss payment options to make your care accessible.

We’re Not Just Tooth Doctors.

We look at your whole health.

At Balanced Dental Studio in Lakewood, Colorado, we take a holistic approach to dentistry and focus on the overall health of our patients. As functional dentists, we don't just treat dental issues at face value. We investigate the root cause of the problem to provide long-lasting solutions.

Good oral hygiene practices like brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash, as well as regular dental cleanings, are essential. However, they don't always address the underlying cause of dental issues such as tooth decay, misaligned teeth, bad breath, and others. These problems can stem from airway obstructions, overcrowded mouths, and narrow dental arches resulting from mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing.

Our focus on functional dentistry allows us to address the source of the problem and prevent future dental problems, while improving the quality of your life. Our aim is to help you and your loved ones smile with confidence, breathe easier, and lead a healthier life. We cater to patients of all ages and provide comprehensive dental care, from preventative cleanings to advanced procedures.
