A painful, infected, or damaged tooth can make it hard to eat, sleep, and get through the day. When the tooth cannot be safely saved, extraction may relieve discomfort, address infection, and protect the surrounding teeth.
Chicago Dental Specialists provides specialist-led tooth extraction in Chicago from our Lincoln Park office. Our oral surgery team evaluates the tooth, explains your options, and creates a clear treatment plan based on your needs.
With endodontic, oral surgery, and implant specialists under one roof, we can determine whether the tooth may be preserved and help plan your next step if removal is recommended.
Call (773) 820-9888 to request an evaluation. Same-day appointments may be available for urgent concerns.
Tooth removal is not always the first solution for dental pain. In some cases, root canal treatment may help preserve the natural tooth. When saving the tooth is not predictable or safe, extraction may be the best way to relieve symptoms and prevent further problems.
Our team may recommend an extraction for:
Every recommendation begins with an examination and imaging when needed. You will receive a clear explanation of what we found, why removal may be necessary, and what treatment involves.
Some visible teeth can be removed with a simple extraction. Other cases require a surgical approach because the tooth is impacted, broken beneath the gumline, or difficult to access. Our oral surgery team uses digital imaging, CBCT technology, and careful surgical planning to understand the position of the tooth and nearby structures. Patients looking for tooth extractions in Chicago can contact us directly or visit after receiving a referral from their general dentist.
Wisdom teeth may need to be removed when they are impacted or cause pain, swelling, infection, crowding, or damage to nearby teeth. Some wisdom teeth grow at an angle or remain partially trapped beneath the gums, which can make them harder to clean and more likely to cause recurring problems.
Our oral surgery team evaluates the position of your wisdom teeth and explains whether removal is recommended. Treatment is based on your individual needs rather than age alone. We also discuss comfort and sedation options before the procedure so you know what to expect.
A severely painful or infected tooth may require prompt attention. Chicago Dental Specialists offers emergency evaluations for teeth causing significant pain, swelling, or infection.
Same-day extraction may be available depending on the diagnosis, complexity of the procedure, and schedule. Call us before arriving so our team can assess your symptoms and arrange the earliest appropriate visit.
Seek immediate medical care for breathing or swallowing difficulties, bleeding that will not stop, major facial injuries, or swelling that is spreading quickly through the face or neck.
Your appointment begins with an evaluation of the affected tooth and surrounding area. Imaging may be used to understand the tooth’s position, the condition of the bone, and the source of your symptoms.

Our goal is to help you feel informed and comfortable with your treatment plan. Our team takes time to explain the procedure, answer your questions, and discuss ways to make treatment more comfortable.
