What is a Dental Extraction?

Dental extraction involves the removal of a tooth from the dental alveolus or socket in the alveolar bone. Extractions are typically required when a tooth is irreparably damaged due to trauma, disease, or crowding. Our goal is to make this process as painless and stress-free as possible, offering both simple and surgical extractions based on your specific needs.

Reasons for Dental Extractions

  • Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is too decayed to be saved by a filling or crown.

  • Periodontal Disease: Advanced gum disease may require the removal of a tooth to prevent further damage to surrounding bone and teeth.

  • Impacted Teeth: Commonly seen with wisdom teeth, impaction can cause pain and other dental issues
  • Orthodontic Treatment: Sometimes teeth are extracted to create space for improved teeth alignment.

The Dental Extraction Process

  1. Initial Consultation: Examination and X-rays to determine the extent of the tooth's damage and plan the best course of action.
  2. Preparation: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area and ensure comfort during the procedure.
  3. The Extraction: The tooth is carefully and gently removed from its socket.
  4. Post-Extraction Care: Instructions are provided to ensure proper healing, including guidelines on how to manage discomfort and promote recovery.

Benefits of Professional Dental Extractions:

  • Alleviates Pain and Discomfort: Removing a damaged or diseased tooth can relieve pain and prevent further oral health complications.
  • Prevents Further Damage: Extractions can help stop the spread of decay and infection to other teeth.
  • Improves Oral Health: Removing problematic teeth can contribute to the overall health of your mouth and jaw.
