Precision Extractions With Your Comfort in Mind
At Studio Blu Dental in Highland, NY, our goal is always to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. But when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or threatening your oral health, a tooth extraction may be the safest and healthiest option.
Led by Dr. Chuan Wang, we provide gentle, precise extractions designed to relieve discomfort and support your long-term dental wellness. Our practice proudly serves patients across Ulster County, including Highland, Marlboro, New Paltz, Poughkeepsie, Kingston, and surrounding Hudson Valley communities.

When is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
Extractions are typically a last resort, but sometimes they are necessary to protect your oral health, relieve pain, or prevent further complications. Common reasons include:
- Severe decay or infection that cannot be treated with a root canal
- Advanced gum disease compromising the tooth’s stability
- Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth
- Fractures below the gumline or vertical root cracks
- Overcrowding, often before orthodontic treatment
Before any extraction, Dr. Chuan uses digital X-rays and 3D imaging to carefully plan the least invasive approach for the best possible outcome.
Types of Extractions
Simple Extractions
Performed on fully erupted teeth visible above the gumline. Typically done under local anesthesia, the procedure is comfortable, straightforward, and precise.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth can cause pain, crowding, or infection. Dr. Wang evaluates each case and performs extractions safely, with sedation options available to ensure maximum comfort during the procedure.
Aftercare & Tooth Replacement Options
After an extraction, Dr. Wang provides detailed instructions to support healing and prevent complications such as dry socket. If a tooth replacement is needed, we offer:
Dental Implants
Permanent, natural-looking solutions for single-tooth restoration
Dental Bridges
Replace one or more missing teeth
Full or Partial Dentures
Removable solutions for multiple missing teeth
We help you choose the option that fits your oral health needs, lifestyle, and personal goals.
