Tooth
Extractions
When necessary, you can see the prosthodontists and team at Restorative Dentistry Group for a tooth extraction. Our doctors and team may suggest this treatment for a severely compromised tooth or, in some cases, in preparation for dentures, a bridge or a dental implant. To see if your smile could benefit from this treatment, call Restorative Dentistry Group at 720-784-8984 and speak with a member of our team for your appointment.
Safe, Comfortable Tooth Extractions
Our prosthodontists perform extractions with a gentle, patient-focused approach. Before the procedure, we thoroughly numb the treatment area and discuss sedation options if needed, so you remain comfortable throughout. We also take the time to explain each step of the process so you know exactly what to expect.
After the extraction, our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery. Because our doctors specialize in tooth replacement, we can also discuss options for restoring the space — whether with a dental implant, bridge or denture — so your smile and bite remain complete and functional.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tooth Extractions
Most patients recover within 1-2 weeks. The initial healing of the socket typically occurs within 3-5 days.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia so you should not feel pain during extraction. Post-procedure discomfort can be managed with medication.
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, soup, and mashed potatoes for the first few days. Avoid hot liquids, straws, and hard or crunchy foods.
