Tooth Extractions in Oklahoma City, OK
Sometimes the best way to protect your oral health is to remove a tooth that’s causing pain or damage. At Magnolia Dental Center, Dr. Chad Blackburn provides gentle, precise tooth extractions in Oklahoma City, OK, with your comfort and care as top priorities.
Whether it’s a simple extraction or wisdom tooth removal, our team uses advanced techniques and oral sedation options to ensure your experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Why a Tooth Extraction Might Be Needed
While our goal is always to save your natural teeth whenever possible, there are times when an extraction is the healthiest option. You may need a tooth removed if you have:
- Severe tooth decay or infection
- Advanced gum disease
- A broken or fractured tooth beyond repair
- Problematic wisdom teeth (third molars)
- Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
Dr. Blackburn will perform a thorough evaluation, discuss all available options, and only recommend extraction when it’s the best choice for your long-term oral health.
Gentle and Precise Tooth Removal
Tooth extractions are far more comfortable than many patients expect—especially with the care and skill of our team. Using modern tools, advanced imaging, and a gentle touch, we make the process quick and efficient while preserving surrounding tissue and bone.
We also offer oral sedation for patients who feel anxious or require more complex procedures, allowing you to stay relaxed and calm from start to finish.
Wisdom Teeth (Third Molar) Extractions
Wisdom teeth are the last to erupt, often between ages 17 and 25, and they can cause problems when there’s not enough space for them to grow in properly. This can lead to pain, swelling, infection, and even shifting of other teeth.
Dr. Blackburn provides safe and comfortable third molar extractions in-office, with sedation options available for patients who need a little extra relaxation.
- Jaw pain or swelling near the back of your mouth
- Tender or bleeding gums around the molars
- Infection or abscess near the area
- Difficulty opening your mouth fully
- Persistent bad breath or unpleasant taste
If wisdom teeth are impacted (stuck below the gum line) or causing crowding, timely removal can prevent future complications.
We understand that tooth removal can cause anxiety, especially if you’ve had difficult dental experiences in the past. At Magnolia Dental Center, we offer oral sedation to help you relax and feel completely at ease.
With oral sedation, you’ll take a prescribed medication before your appointment, leaving you awake but deeply relaxed throughout treatment. Many patients remember little to nothing about the procedure and feel calm from beginning to end.
Your comfort and peace of mind always come first.
Once your extraction is complete, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you heal quickly and comfortably. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter medication and a few simple precautions.
Our team will also guide you on when to return for follow-up or discuss tooth replacement options—such as dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures—to restore your smile after healing.

- Gentle, conservative extraction techniques
