Whether it’s due to severe decay, overcrowding, trauma, or in preparation for orthodontic treatment, we’re here to make the entire process—from extraction to recovery—as smooth as possible.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extractions are usually recommended when a tooth is severely damaged or decayed, and other treatments, like fillings or crowns, are no longer an option. Extractions may also be necessary to remove impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth, or to make room for orthodontic treatments. Whatever the reason, our skilled team will carefully evaluate your situation to determine the best course of action.
Methods of Tooth Extraction
We offer two main types of tooth extractions: simple extractions and surgical extractions. Our team will determine which option is best for you based on the condition of your tooth and your overall oral health.
- Simple Extractions: A simple extraction is performed when the tooth is visible and can easily be removed. This procedure is commonly used for teeth that are damaged by decay or overcrowded, and it typically involves minimal discomfort.
- Surgical Extractions: Surgical extractions are necessary for teeth that have not fully erupted, such as impacted wisdom teeth, or when a tooth is broken below the gum line. This procedure is a bit more complex but is still performed with your comfort in mind.
Whether you need a simple or surgical extraction, we’ll guide you through the process and provide expert care to ensure a speedy recovery.
Post Extraction Care
After your tooth extraction, it’s important to take care of the extraction site to promote healing. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery, including recommendations for pain management, avoiding certain foods, resting, and keeping the area clean. Our team is also available to answer any questions or concerns you may have after the procedure.
