Tooth Extraction · Wilmington, DE
Painless Tooth Extractions in Wilmington, DE. Gentle Hands, Honest Advice.
If a tooth truly can't be saved, we'll explain why and remove it as gently as possible, with painless injection techniques and care that keeps implant options open. If it can be saved, we'll tell you that too.
When extraction makes sense
- A tooth broken below the gumline
- Severe infection or decay that can't be restored
- Painful or impacted wisdom teeth
- Preparing for dentures or implants
We always look at saving the tooth first. One patient came to us for a second opinion after being quoted thousands for a single tooth and left with a clear, more affordable plan.
Comfort during the visit
We numb thoroughly with gentle, painless injection techniques, wait until you're completely comfortable, and remove the tooth carefully to protect the surrounding bone and gum.
After your extraction
Bite on gauze, avoid straws and smoking for several days, eat soft foods and use over-the-counter pain relief as directed. You'll leave with written instructions and our direct number.

What Our Patients Say
“I’ve been a patient of Dr. Casalena’s for over 20 years, so I’m grateful he left us in the hands of another excellent dentist. The transition went smoothly, and the office still feels like the same familiar place with the same welcoming team. My procedure went very well (was very scared) and healed nicely. The painless injections helped reduce my anxiety.”
“The staff are nice and professional and so are the dentist and hygienist. I thank them for being patient also, getting your mouth worked on is an experience, but everything was great.”
“The atmosphere inside was nice and calm, the staff was very welcoming, and the dentist took her time explaining everything to me without any rush. I came here for a second opinion.”
