Gentle Tooth Extractions in Napoleon, OH

When a tooth can't be saved, we remove it with a steady hand, a calm plan, and same-day appointments for urgent needs.

Removing a Tooth, Keeping Your Peace of Mind

Your natural teeth matter to your long-term dental health — so extraction is never our first suggestion. Before recommending removal, Dr. Keiser performs a thorough examination to confirm the tooth truly can't be saved through restoration or repair.



When extraction is the right call — because of severe decay, damage, infection, impaction, or crowding — our Napoleon team makes the procedure as comfortable as possible, both during your visit and through recovery. If you're in pain right now, call us: we reserve time for same-day and emergency extractions whenever possible.

When a Tooth May Need to Come Out

Extraction may be the healthiest path forward when you're dealing with:

Severe decay or infection that a filling, crown, or root canal can't resolve

A cracked or broken tooth damaged below the gumline

Advanced gum disease that has loosened the tooth

An impacted tooth, including problem wisdom teeth

Over-crowding, or a tooth blocking others from erupting properly

Persistent pain or swelling that signals the tooth is failing

Tooth Extraction FAQs

  • Does getting a tooth pulled hurt?

    You shouldn't feel pain during the procedure — the area is thoroughly numbed first, and you'll feel only pressure. Mild soreness for a few days afterward is normal and typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and our aftercare instructions.

  • How much does a tooth extraction cost in Napoleon, OH?

    Cost depends on whether the extraction is simple or surgical and on your insurance coverage. We'll give you a clear estimate before treatment begins, and our team will help you understand your insurance benefits and payment options.

  • Can I get a tooth pulled the same day I call?

    We do our best to see patients in pain the same day. Call 419-592-0034 as early as you can and we'll find time for you — dental emergencies don't wait, and neither should you.

  • What's the difference between a simple and surgical extraction?

    A simple extraction removes a tooth that's fully visible above the gumline. A surgical extraction is needed when a tooth is broken at the gumline or impacted, like some wisdom teeth. We'll tell you exactly which yours requires and what to expect.

  • How long does recovery take after a tooth extraction?

    Most patients feel back to normal within a few days, with the extraction site healing over one to two weeks. Follow your aftercare instructions — especially avoiding straws and smoking — to protect the healing clot and prevent dry socket.
