Tooth Extractions

A tooth extraction is a dental procedure during which your tooth is completely removed from its socket. Sometimes, people refer to this as “pulling” a tooth.

Losing a tooth can feel like the end of the world, but fortunately there are multiple replacement options available.

How do I know if I need a tooth extraction?

-

If you experience persistent tooth pain, swelling, or notice any signs of decay or infection, it’s essential to schedule an appointment with our dental team for an examination. Based on your symptoms and diagnostic tests, our dentist will determine if a tooth extraction is necessary.

Why might I need a tooth extraction?

+
-
  • Misaligned Teeth: Teeth that are not properly aligned may require extraction to make room for orthodontic treatment.
  • Decayed or Fractured Teeth: Severe decay or fracture that cannot be restored may necessitate extraction.
  • Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are impacted or unable to emerge properly often require extraction.
  • Infection or Abscess: Teeth with severe infection or abscess may need to be extracted to prevent further complications.
  • Periodontal Disease: Advanced periodontal disease can lead to tooth loosening, requiring extraction.

What should I expect during the tooth extraction procedure?

+
-

Before the extraction, our dentist will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to evaluate the tooth and surrounding structures. Depending on the complexity, you may be referred to a specialized oral surgeon. During the procedure, you’ll receive local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.

What is the recovery process like after a tooth extraction?

+
-

After the extraction, you may experience some discomfort and swelling, which can be managed with ice packs and pain medication as recommended by our dentist. It’s essential to follow post-operative care instructions diligently to promote healing and prevent complications. Most patients recover within two weeks, but if you experience prolonged pain, swelling, or other concerning symptoms, contact us promptly.
