Relax With Sedation & Amenities

We make tooth extraction gentle and stress-free. Your appointment begins with a thorough examination and clear explanation of the procedure, so you know exactly what to expect.

Your dentist uses meticulous techniques to carefully loosen and remove your tooth while protecting the surrounding area.

For your comfort, we offer sedation options to help you feel calm and relaxed. Laughing gas provides light relaxation, while oral conscious sedation offers deeper relaxation for longer or more involved procedures.

To make your experience even smoother, you can take advantage of blankets, neck pillows, TVs, and headphones. These small touches will help you feel at ease from start to finish.

Regain Function & Confidence With Tooth Replacement Options

After removing a tooth, we offer several replacement options to restore your smile's appearance and function. For a single missing tooth, a dental implant with a custom crown provides a natural-looking, long-lasting solution.

If you have multiple missing teeth in a row, we can create a dental bridge to fill the gap. For larger areas of tooth loss, we provide dentures that can be used with or without dental implants.

When replacing a full arch, our All-on-6 implant option offers a fixed, long-lasting restoration supported by just six implants. It gives you strength, function, and a confident smile.

If you need tooth removal in Lake Jackson, rely on the team at Distinctive Dental Services.

This was the BEST dentist office I had ever been in. It was absolutely wonderful. The people was very pleasant. Very nice. Was very concerned about your comfort and your well-being. They could hold an intelligent conversation with you. Didn't make you feel less than it was. Definitely a one-of-a-kind experience for me. I would advise every single person that I know to go to this dentistry. They are very very welcoming. You will not have a problem in going back to these people. The only sad part about it is I can only give five stars. Love these people! I am so glad that I chose them.

I’ve been a patient with dr. Elrod for 20 plus years. Hands down the best dentist in the country! All the work I’ve had done is the best quality and lasts. I still have some CEREC that have lasted over 20 years. This is the only dentist I’ve been to that I’m actually excited to go to.

Above and beyond exceptional service!! The office is stunning and the staff are exceptional. I'm definitely appreciative of the tour and gift! Very friendly and knowledgeable. They took their time and didn't make me feel like just another patient. Most importantly, I felt comfortable and heard. My only regret is not becoming a new patient sooner. Never had an experience like that at a dental office before! Thank you DDS!

I did an in office teeth whitening appointment. I thought front staff very friendly and my appointment was on time. They actually accommodated an earlier time for me. I am pleased with the results and would definitely recommend this facility! The staff was very friendly and listened to my concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Removal

Why might I need a tooth removed?
A tooth may need to be removed if it is severely decayed, damaged beyond repair, or causing crowding. Removal can also be necessary to prepare for orthodontic treatment or to prevent further oral health problems.
Is tooth removal painful?
With modern anesthesia and sedation, tooth removal is designed to be comfortable. You may feel pressure but not pain during the procedure. Any soreness afterward is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter medication.
How long does it take to recover from tooth removal?
You should recover in a few days, though healing can take one to two weeks depending on the complexity of the extraction. Following aftercare instructions helps speed up recovery and reduces the risk of complications.
