broken off teeth-extraction

I am scared to death of going to get extractions for dentures. I have a few teeth that are broken off at the gum, and one below. How do they remove these?  This and fear are the only reason I haven't made an appointment.

Thank you for your response.  I was afraid of that.  I have a fear of being put under...I'm happy they can do it without doing that.  Do they need to cut them out? Or just use special tools?

I think you will see an oral surgeon to remove these.  That's good because they will give you medicine to make you feel like you are asleep.  You will not remember anything.  You will need someone to drive you home, of course.
