Safe & Comfortable Tooth Extractions
Here are reasons why your beloved tooth may need to go.
- An extensively damaged or decayed tooth
- A troublesome or impacted wisdom tooth
- An over-retained baby tooth
- An ectopic tooth—a tooth that has grown where it shouldn’t
- Advanced gum disease
- To create space for orthodontic treatment
Although we try everything possible to save your tooth, we’ll recommend tooth removal if leaving the tooth intact causes more harm than good. Rest assured, we’ll help you make the best decision for your oral health.
What can I expect during tooth removal?
Your procedure starts with a consultation. The dentist will inspect your tooth with dental X-rays to determine its position and extent of damage. Then, we’ll numb your gums with dental anesthesia and use gentle techniques to loosen your tooth from its socket. Next, we’ll use forceps to pull out your tooth in one piece. It’s that simple! We’ll then place a gauze pad on the extraction site to control bleeding. Change the pad every 20-30 minutes until the bleeding stops.
The dentist will surgically remove your tooth if it is impacted or broken at the gum line level. The doctor will incise your gums and possibly remove some underlying bone to access your tooth. We’ll break the tooth into pieces, remove each fragment, and suture the wound to begin healing.
After removing your tooth, we’ll give you post-op instructions to ensure you recover as soon as possible. Our aftercare tips will cover nutrition, pain management, and oral hygiene. Recovery after tooth removal only takes a few days.
Is tooth removal painful?
When we recommend dental extraction, don’t spend sleepless nights worrying about pain. Modern dental extractions are virtually painless. Before treatment, our dentist will numb your gums with powerful anesthetics—you won’t feel any pain but mild pressure as the dentist loosens your tooth. While local anesthetics work for many patients, others need more help remaining calm during treatment. We offer several sedation options to ensure you enjoy a comfortable dental experience.
What are the benefits of dental extraction?
Dental extractions are a necessary part of dental care, offering several benefits.
Some include:
- Pain relief
- Prevent infection spread
- Resolve overcrowding
- Prevent numerous oral health complications
Should I replace my tooth after removal?
Our doctor will advise you to replace your extracted tooth immediately unless it’s an overcrowded or wisdom tooth. Removing a tooth leaves a gap that diminishes your oral function and appearance. Besides, prolonged tooth loss causes jawbone loss, premature dental wear, and bite misalignment. When we remove your tooth, the dentist recommends replacing your tooth with an implant or bridge to restore your oral health and confidence.
