Tooth Extractions in Boulder, CO

You're in the Right Place

If you've landed here because another dentist told you a tooth needs to come out — or because you've been quietly dealing with pain and finally decided to look into it — we get it. The word "extraction" doesn't exactly put people at ease. But here's what we want you to know before anything else: this is one of the most routine procedures we do, and in the right hands, it's far less of an ordeal than most people expect. At Summit Ridge Dental, Dr. Laura Chen, Dr. Marcus Webb, and Dr. Priya Nair have handled everything from straightforward single-tooth removals to more complex cases — and they approach every one of them the same way. Unhurried. Thorough. With a real conversation before anyone picks up an instrument. Why might a tooth need to come out? There are a few common reasons: a tooth may be too damaged by decay or trauma to restore, a wisdom tooth may be impacted or causing crowding, or an infection may have progressed beyond what other treatments can address. Whatever brought you here, we'll take time to review your X-rays, walk you through exactly what's going on, and make sure extraction is genuinely the right call — not just the easiest one. What does the procedure actually feel like? Most patients are surprised. With proper numbing — and sedation options available for anyone who needs them — the experience is typically pressure, not pain. We'll check in with you throughout, move at your pace, and make sure you leave with clear aftercare instructions and our number if anything comes up. We don't rush extractions, and we don't rush the conversation before them. If you have questions, concerns, or it's just been a while since you've seen a dentist, come in. No judgment — just a straightforward look at what's going on and an honest plan from there.
