General dentists do most simple extractions and many surgical ones. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons handle complex cases, such as deeply impacted teeth, teeth close to nerves, or patients who need IV sedation or general anesthesia.

11 of Tacoma's 79 clinics offering tooth extractions have an oral surgeon on staff. See oral surgeons in Tacoma

Which Tacoma clinics offer same-day tooth extractions?

Which Tacoma tooth extraction dentists are open on Saturday?
