Signs you may need a tooth extraction
We always aim to save your natural teeth whenever possible, but sometimes removal is the healthiest choice. You may need an extraction if you have:
- Severe tooth decay or damage
- A badly infected or abscessed tooth
- Advanced periodontal (gum) disease
- A cracked or broken tooth beyond repair
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
- A non-functional or problematic baby tooth
Simple vs. surgical tooth extractions
Simple tooth extraction
Performed on fully erupted teeth that need to be removed due to decay, damage, or disease. Dr. Mozner does these in-house at Creative Dental of Syosset.
Surgical tooth extraction
Used for broken teeth or teeth that have not fully erupted, including many impacted wisdom teeth. Dr. Mozner performs most surgical extractions himself, using the Vatech 3D cone-beam scan to see the tooth, roots, nerve, and sinus before he begins.
Wisdom tooth removal
Dr. Mozner removes impacted or problematic third molars before they cause pain, infection, or crowding. Our wisdom teeth extractions page explains how those cases are planned.
Pain-free tooth extraction: numbing, nitrous oxide and headphones
Extractions can feel intimidating, so your comfort comes first at every step. Here is how we keep the visit easy:
- Local anesthesia that fully numbs the area before anything starts
- Nitrous oxide sedation for anxious patients, plus injection techniques designed to make the numbing itself less noticeable
- Noise-canceling headphones and Netflix during the procedure
- Written post-op instructions for fast, smooth healing, and follow-up appointments to check your recovery
“We specialize in painless dentistry. With utmost kindness and compassion,” Dr. Mozner says.
First time here and it was a great experience! Barely any wait time! The office was clean and organized. The dentist understood my fear with dental equipment from past experiences in a different office so he and his assistant made sure I was comfortable and even provided options such as noise canceling headphones! I thought that was very nice and accommodating. I’ll definitely come back to this office.

Replacing a pulled tooth with a dental implant or bridge
Dental implants and bridges to replace the tooth are planned in the same office. After the extraction, Dr. Mozner can discuss which replacement fits the gap, so you do not have to start over with a new provider.

Extraction, root canal or wisdom tooth removal: which do you need?
My wisdom tooth hurts at the back of my jaw. Is that a regular extraction?
Wisdom teeth are the third molars, and impacted ones are often surgical cases planned on a 3D scan. See wisdom teeth extractions.
My tooth is infected. Does it have to come out?
We always aim to save natural teeth, and an infected tooth can often be treated with a root canal.
I broke a tooth and it hurts today. Can I be seen right away?
Same-day emergency visits are available for a broken or infected tooth. See emergency dental care.
I already lost a tooth. How do I fill the gap?
A dental implant or a dental bridge can replace a missing tooth, and both are planned in the same office.
My child's baby tooth is causing problems. Does it need to come out?
Sometimes a problematic baby tooth does need to be removed. See pediatric dentistry for how children's visits work.
Tooth extractions in Syosset: common questions
Does a tooth extraction hurt?
No. The area is fully numbed with local anesthesia, so most patients feel pressure but not pain during the procedure. Some soreness after the anesthesia wears off is normal and manageable with the aftercare instructions we send home with you.
How long does it take to heal after a tooth extraction?
Most extractions heal in 7-10 days. We’ll give you easy aftercare instructions to speed recovery and reduce swelling.
Do I need to replace a pulled tooth?
For any tooth other than a wisdom tooth, we’ll discuss options like dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures to restore your smile and bite.
Can I go back to work or school after a tooth extraction?
You may need a day or two of rest, especially after surgical extractions. We’ll guide you based on your specific case.
How much does a tooth extraction cost in Syosset?
The cost depends on whether the tooth is a simple or surgical extraction and on your insurance. Creative Dental of Syosset accepts most PPO plans, and the front desk checks your specific benefits and gives you the patient cost before treatment begins, so there are no surprises. We also offer CareCredit financing.
Are surgical tooth extractions done in-house in Syosset?
Most are. Dr. Mozner performs most surgical extractions himself at Creative Dental of Syosset, including ones that some general offices would send to an oral surgeon. For the most difficult cases, he may coordinate with an oral surgeon so you get the safest care.
