Types of Tooth Extractions in Mesa, AZ
Depending on the condition and position of your tooth, Dr. Tia Khoshaba will recommend either a simple or surgical extraction. She’ll explain the best approach for your situation and ensure you feel comfortable before treatment begins.
Simple Tooth Extraction
A simple extraction is performed when the tooth is fully visible above the gum line and intact enough to be safely removed. The area is completely numbed with local anesthesia, so you feel no pain, only slight pressure as the tooth is gently loosened and removed. Most simple tooth extractions take less than 30 minutes, and you can return home the same day. If you’re experiencing tooth pain or damage, we offer same-day appointments in Mesa, AZ for fast relief.
Surgical Tooth Extraction
A surgical extraction is needed when a tooth has broken at or below the gum line or cannot be easily accessed. A small, precise incision is made to safely remove the tooth while protecting surrounding tissue. Sedation options are available to help you stay relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure. If you’re feeling anxious or in pain, ask us about same-day surgical tooth extraction in Mesa.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth (third molars) are the most commonly extracted teeth and often become impacted due to lack of space. This can lead to pain, swelling, infection, and crowding if not treated early. We provide wisdom tooth removal in Mesa, AZ for teens and adults and recommend early evaluation for smoother healing and recovery.

Common Reasons You May Need a Tooth Extraction
Dr. Tia Khoshaba recommends extraction only when saving the tooth is no longer possible or could affect your overall oral health. While early treatment can often prevent removal, severe damage may make extraction the safest option.
- Common reasons include:
- Severe tooth decay — When too much of the tooth is damaged to support a filling or crown
- Dental infection or abscess — Infection at the root that can spread to surrounding tissue and bone
- Advanced gum disease — Bone loss and weakened support causing the tooth to loosen
- Broken or cracked tooth — Damage extending below the gum line or into the root
- Overcrowding or alignment issues — Creating space for proper orthodontic treatment
- Preparation for implants or dentures — Removing damaged teeth before restoration
Replacing Teeth After Extraction
Losing a tooth can affect more than your smile. Without a replacement, nearby teeth may shift, leading to bite issues and bone loss over time. That’s why we discuss your replacement options early and create a clear plan after your extraction.
Depending on your needs, budget, and oral health, your tooth replacement options in Mesa, AZ may include:
- Dental implants — The most durable and natural-looking solution. A titanium post is placed into the jawbone and restored with a custom crown. Implants help preserve bone and function like a natural tooth.
- Dental bridges — A fixed solution supported by the teeth on either side of the gap. Ideal when neighboring teeth are strong and healthy.
- Partial dentures — A removable and more affordable option for replacing one or more missing teeth. Suitable for patients who prefer a non-surgical approach.
