What Are Tooth Extractions?
Protecting oral health sometimes means removing a tooth that no longer functions properly. At Rollo Family Dentistry, Dr. Thomas Rollo provides gentle tooth extraction services for patients in Succasunna, NJ. He performs routine tooth removal and wisdom tooth extraction procedures. Common reasons include severe decay, advanced gum disease, broken teeth, or crowding that affects alignment. Wisdom teeth extraction involves removing impacted or problematic third molars to protect surrounding teeth and reduce discomfort. Dr. Rollo will review the condition of the tooth and discuss the most practical treatment plan possible. Our dental practitioners' goal is to relieve discomfort, prevent further complications, and maintain the health of nearby teeth. Patients in Succasunna, NJ and nearby communities can schedule a consultation at Rollo Family Dentistry to learn whether tooth extraction is the right option for restoring oral health.
What Is the Process for Tooth Extractions?
The process begins with a detailed exam and digital imaging. These images show the tooth's position, root structure, and surrounding bone. This information helps Dr. Rollo determine whether a simple tooth extraction or a surgical tooth extraction is needed. A simple tooth extraction is used for teeth that are visible above the gumline. Local anesthetic numbs the area before the tooth is gently loosened and removed. Other sedation options are available. The procedure is usually quick, and most patients return to normal routines within a short period. Surgical tooth extractions occur when a tooth is broken at the gumline or has not fully erupted. Accessing the tooth through the gum tissue and removing it with precision, the tooth may be divided into smaller sections to make the process smoother and reduce pressure on nearby structures. After tooth removal, the site is cleaned and protected to promote proper healing. Patients receive detailed instructions on managing swelling, keeping the area clean, and protecting the clot that forms during recovery.

Tooth Extractions Reviews
I was so anxious about my wisdom tooth removal but Dr. Rollo made me feel so comfortable. When I tell you I felt no pain whatsoever, I’m being completely honest. I had always heard that the numbing part of the procedure was painful but not with Dr. Rollo. He is excellent and I’m so grateful he helped me relieve pain I’ve been experiencing for years.
