Dr. Adam Jensen will help you save your smile!
While our focus is on preventive and restorative care, sometimes the best option for your health is a tooth extraction. An extraction may be recommended when a tooth is:
- Severely decayed/infected
- Cracked or damaged
- Causing intense pain
- Crowding other teeth
At Chugach Dental, we take pride in offering efficient tooth extractions designed with your comfort in mind. Call Dr. Adam Jensen at (907) 868-3000 to get a second opinion and to learn more about tooth removal.

Comfort comes first
Our focus is on ensuring your comfort throughout your tooth extraction. Dr. Jensen will work with you to make sure you’re relaxed and at-ease. Here’s how he does it:
1. Starting with local anesthetic, Dr. Jensen makes sure you’re fully numb before starting an extraction.
2. If needed, we can prescribe Halcion, a medication that reduces anxiety.
3. During the procedure, nitrous oxide can further increase relaxation. Unlike other sedation options, nitrous oxide wears off quickly and there is little to no recovery time.
Just let us know what you need to feel confident and comfortable about your tooth extraction. We’ll create a custom treatment plan just for you.


Restoration options
When a tooth is extracted, it can affect both the aesthetics and function of your smile. Left unrestored, a lost tooth may contribute to:
- Dissatisfaction with the appearance of your smile
- Bone loss in the jaw, a process known as resorption
- Increased risk of decay and disease in neighboring teeth
- Shifting of adjacent teeth, leading to other issues
Our restoration options include durable and natural-looking implants, bridges, and dentures. We work with a local trusted lab to produce beautiful crowns and restorations.
In some cases, for example, when a tooth is causing crowding or when extracting a wisdom tooth, a restoration may not be recommended.
How long will it take to recover?
While a tooth extraction can provide immediate relief from a bad toothache, some recovery time is still needed. Expect to take it easy for 48-72 hours.
Can I eat/drink right after my extraction?
Following an extraction, stick to soft foods and liquids for about a day. Avoid chewy, crunchy, and sticky foods until you’re fully healed.
Can you do wisdom tooth extractions?
Yes! Dr. Adam Jensen works with both teenagers and adults to comfortably and quickly extract painful or impacted wisdom teeth.
