Where can I get a tooth removed near Corsicana?

At our office at 1430 W 2nd Ave in Corsicana. You do not need a referral, and you will not be sent to a separate surgical office across town. Dr. Wright performs complex oral surgery every week, so a tooth that another office would refer out is handled here, in one building, by the same team that will restore the space afterward.

We see patients from Corsicana, Mildred, Eureka, Ennis, Fairfield, Kerens, Blooming Grove, Athens, Waxahachie and the rest of Navarro County and East Texas.

When does a tooth need to come out?

A tooth usually needs removing when keeping it would cost you more health than losing it. The common reasons are:

• Decay that has gone past what a filling or crown can hold together
• A crack or break that runs below the gum line
• Advanced gum disease that has loosened the tooth in the bone
• Infection at the root that has not settled with treatment
• Wisdom teeth that are stuck, crowding the teeth in front of them, or impossible to keep clean
• Making room before braces, aligners or a full-mouth restoration

We will always tell you when a tooth can be saved. Removing a tooth is a last option, not a first one.

What happens during the visit?

We start with a 3D scan so we can see the whole root and the bone around it before anything begins. You are numbed completely, and if you would rather not be aware of the visit at all, we offer several levels of sedation, from a mild option that takes the edge off to deeper sedation for longer appointments.

The tooth is loosened and lifted out rather than forced. Most single teeth take a few minutes once you are comfortable. You go home the same day with written instructions and a number to reach us if anything feels wrong.

How long is the healing time?

Most people feel noticeably better by the third day and back to normal within a week. Soreness, mild swelling and a little bleeding on the first day are all expected. Anything that is getting worse rather than better after day three is worth a phone call, and we would much rather hear from you early.

What replaces the tooth afterward?

This is the part most offices leave for another day, and it is the part worth planning first. Once a tooth is out, the bone underneath begins to shrink, so the sooner the space has a plan, the simpler that plan is. Your options are a dental implant, a bridge, or a removable partial. In many cases the implant can be placed the same day the tooth comes out, which keeps the bone and shortens the whole process.

We design every replacement digitally from your own facial features and 3D print in-house, so the tooth that fills the space matches the ones beside it. If you would like to talk through implant options, text or call Shelley at 903-602-3439 — text first, it is the fastest way to reach her.

Do you take my insurance?

We work with most dental plans and we bill medical insurance in-house for the cases that qualify, which is unusual for a dental office and can make a real difference on surgical treatment. Our Medical Insurance Coordinator handles preauthorizations and appeals so you are not the one on the phone with the carrier.

Will it be handled gently?

Yes. Comfort is the part we are known for. Sedation is available for any removal, not just the complicated ones, and nobody here will make you feel silly for wanting it. We have cared for more than 8,000 patients in 18+ years, and a great many of them arrived saying they were nervous about this exact appointment.
