Tooth Removal Options
Tooth Removal in Staten Island: Save It, Pull It or Replace It
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Stuck or crowded wisdom teeth? Dr. Cipriano can take them out.
Dental Bridges
Fill the gap with false teeth held by the teeth beside it.
Dental Implants
Replace the pulled tooth with an implant placed in our office.
Root Canal Treatment
Infected tooth? A root canal may let you keep it.
Pulling a Tooth
When Does a Tooth Need to Be Pulled?
Keeping your own tooth is usually the better choice, and a root canal in Staten Island can clear out an infection and save it. Some teeth can't be saved, though.
Dr. Cipriano may suggest pulling a tooth when it's badly broken or decayed, or when an infection can't be cleared. A tooth that's stuck under the gum or crowding your other teeth may need to come out too.
Before anything comes out, he looks at the tooth with you and explains your options, so you decide what happens next. Sudden pain or a broken tooth? Our emergency dentist in Staten Island aims to see you the same day.
Replacing a Missing Tooth
Replacing a Pulled Tooth Before Your Other Teeth Shift
An empty space can let the teeth around it drift, and over time the jawbone there can shrink. That's why Dr. Cipriano talks with you about replacing the tooth before it's pulled.
A dental implant replaces the tooth and its root. Dr. Cipriano places and restores dental implants in Staten Island in our office, from pulling the tooth to placing the final crown.
A dental bridge fills the gap with false teeth held by the teeth on each side. Dentures replace several teeth or all of them, and we make dentures in Staten Island too.
All-on-4 and All-on-X hold a full row of new teeth on dental implants, for when you're missing all your top or bottom teeth.

Tooth Extraction FAQs
Questions About Tooth Extraction in Staten Island
Does getting a tooth pulled hurt?
The area is numbed with local anesthesia before the tooth comes out. Some soreness and swelling afterward is normal, and our team gives you clear instructions for caring for the area at home.
Do I need an oral surgeon to pull a tooth in Staten Island?
Not for every tooth. Dr. Cipriano is a general dentist in Staten Island who removes teeth, including wisdom teeth, in our office. He checks your tooth first and tells you what it needs.
Should I get a root canal or have the tooth pulled?
If the tooth can be saved, a root canal is usually the better option because you keep your natural tooth. If it's too damaged or decayed, pulling it may be the right choice. Dr. Cipriano explains both before you decide.
