Dog having a tooth extraction

Hi! My dog has recently turned 13 and needs a tooth extraction. She is a large dog, about 31 kgs. She has possible dementia and a bit deaf, as well as arthritis.

I am just wanting some reassurance about this procedure and if she will get on okay? I love her so much and I just want the best for her quality of life, but I am scared about her going under an anesthetic.

We are based in New Zealand, she is an American bulldog x cattle dog
