Tooth Extractions in Cincinnati, OH

Is a damaged, infected, or overcrowded tooth causing you pain? Left untreated, it can lead to worsening infection, bone loss, or shifting teeth. Strawman Family Dentistry provides gentle, professional tooth extractions in Cincinnati, OH, giving local patients a trusted solution when a tooth can no longer be saved. Dr. Brittany Strawman and Dr. Kyle Tangney bring a calm, patient-first approach that gets you out of pain and back to healthy function.

When a Tooth Extraction Becomes Necessary

We always try to save a natural tooth first. Sometimes damage or disease progresses too far for a filling, crown, or root canal to help.

Cincinnati patients typically need an extraction for one of these reasons:

• Tooth decay: Untreated decay weakens a tooth beyond what restorative care can resolve.
• Periodontal disease: Advanced gum disease damages the bone and tissue supporting your teeth until they loosen.
• Dental trauma: An injury can damage a tooth so severely that saving it is no longer possible.
• Overcrowding: Selective extraction creates room for remaining teeth to align.

An exam at our Cincinnati office can confirm whether extraction is right for you.

Simple vs. Surgical Tooth Extractions

A simple extraction removes a tooth that is visible and accessible above the gumline, using standard instruments. It is generally quick and straightforward.

A surgical extraction is needed when a tooth is impacted, fractured, or otherwise hard to reach. This more involved procedure lets Dr. Strawman or Dr. Tangney safely remove it, always with your comfort and safety in mind.

Restoring Your Smile After an Extraction

Removing a damaged tooth is often just the first step. An unaddressed gap can allow neighboring teeth to shift over time.

Depending on your needs, our team may recommend a dental bridge, a partial denture, or a dental implant to fill the space. Each option restores function and appearance, and we will explain the pros and cons of each.

Tooth Extraction Cost, Payment Options & Insurance

Cost is often one of the first questions patients ask before scheduling a tooth extraction. Because every case differs, from a simple to a surgical procedure, exact cost depends on your treatment plan, which our team reviews with you first.

Many dental insurance plans offer partial coverage for medically necessary extractions, though benefits vary by policy. We recommend verifying your coverage with your provider or our office, and we are happy to discuss payment options.
