Tooth Extractions in Edmonton That Prioritize Comfort and Calm
Say goodbye to dental anxiety our gentle approach and sedation options help make extractions feel less stressful and more manageable.
When Tooth Removal Becomes the Right Choice
Whether it’s a painful wisdom tooth, an infected molar, or a baby tooth that won’t budge, extractions aren’t something most people look forward to—but sometimes, they’re the best step forward for your oral health.
At Pearly Dental in Mill Woods, Edmonton, we understand how overwhelming it can feel to face a tooth extraction especially if you’ve had a tough dental experience in the past. That’s why we make your comfort, clarity, and confidence the top priority throughout the entire process.
What Causes the Need for a Tooth Extraction?
Tooth removal is always a last resort. But in some cases, it’s the most effective way to relieve pain, stop infection, or make room for better alignment. Here are common reasons patients in Edmonton come to us for extractions:
Severe tooth decay or infection
Impacted wisdom teeth causing crowding, pain, or inflammation
Advanced gum disease leading to tooth instability
Fractured teeth beyond repair
Orthodontic reasons, such as overcrowding
- Baby teeth that haven’t fallen out naturally
Wisdom Teeth Removal in Edmonton What You Should Know
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come in—usually between ages 17 and 25. While some people never have an issue, many others experience:
- Jaw pain or pressure
- Gum swelling or tenderness
- Infections around partially erupted teeth (pericoronitis)
- Shifting of surrounding teeth
- Difficulty cleaning impacted areas
At Pearly Dental, we offer safe and effective wisdom teeth extraction in Edmonton—whether it’s a routine removal or a more complex, surgical case.
What Makes Our Tooth Extractions Different?
Here’s how we help make the process easier from start to finish:
A Calm, Judgment-Free Environment
We hear it all the time “I’ve avoided the dentist for years because I was scared or embarrassed.” That’s not you anymore. From the moment you walk into Pearly Dental, you’re greeted with kindness, not judgment. We take the time to listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and go at your pace.
Sedation and Pain Control Options
We offer multiple options to help reduce pain and anxiety, including:
- Local anesthesia for numbing the area
- Oral sedation for mild to moderate anxiety
- Referrals for IV sedation in more complex cases
Most patients are surprised by how quick and painless extractions can be with proper technique and support.

Functional & Aesthetic Results
Your finished smile will not only look better—it will fit and function better, easing jaw strain and improving overall oral health.
What to Expect Before, During and After Your Extraction
Before Your Extraction
We’ll start with a detailed consultation, including:
- A full review of your symptoms and concerns
- Digital x-rays to assess tooth position and root structure
- An explanation of your treatment options
You’ll leave with a clear plan, a cost estimate, and all the information you need to feel prepared.
During the Procedure
Whether it’s a basic extraction or a surgical wisdom tooth removal, you’ll be:
- Fully numbed with local anesthesia
- Monitored closely throughout
- Supported with gentle care to ease anxiety
Procedures typically take 20–45 minutes depending on complexity.
Aftercare & Recovery
After your extraction, we’ll provide:
- Detailed written and verbal instructions
- Custom aftercare kits, including gauze and emergency contact info
- Recommendations for pain relief and swelling control
We’ll also follow up within 48 hours to make sure your healing is on track.
Preventing Complications Like Dry Socket
One of the most common concerns after an extraction is dry socket—a condition where the protective clot gets dislodged, exposing sensitive bone. It can be painful, but it’s also highly preventable.
We help reduce your risk with:
- Clear post-op instructions
- Protective techniques during extraction
- Emergency access if discomfort arises
Patients who follow our aftercare guidelines rarely experience complications—and if anything feels off, we’re just a call away.
Managing Impacted Wisdom Teeth Without the Drama
Impacted wisdom teeth can feel dramatic—pain, pressure, swelling, and infections are common. At Pearly Dental, we make the process as straightforward as possible.
Our process includes:
- High-resolution imaging to locate tooth angles
- Tailored treatment plans to avoid nerve damage
- Advanced surgical technique when necessary
We also guide you through what’s normal and what’s not, so you’re never left guessing about your recovery.
Not Sure If You Need an Extraction? Let’s Talk
You don’t have to be in agony to get help. Many patients come to us with:
- Lingering sensitivity
- Recurring jaw pain
- Crowding from a shifting wisdom tooth
- Gum swelling near the back molars
If something feels “off,” it’s worth a conversation. A quick consultation can tell you if extraction is the right step—or if another option makes more sense.
Transparent Pricing & Insurance Help
We understand that cost matters. That’s why we offer:
Direct billing to most major insurance providers
Honest, upfront estimates before any treatment begins
Financing options for uninsured patients
Extractions are often partially or fully covered under dental insurance—especially wisdom teeth. We’ll help you navigate your plan so you’re not left guessing.
