Why Might I Need Tooth Removal?

While saving your natural teeth is always our top priority, there are certain situations where tooth extraction may be necessary. We perform extractions only to promote and maintain your oral health, and always with your best interest in mind. Common reasons you may need a tooth extraction include:

Severe Tooth Decay or Damage: If your tooth is too damaged by decay or breakage, extraction may be necessary when restoration isn't possible.
Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease can weaken your tooth and surrounding structures, so we may recommend extraction to prevent further issues.
Crowding: To create space for proper alignment, especially before orthodontic treatment, we may need to extract teeth if there is dental crowding.
Impacted Teeth: If your tooth is unable to emerge fully, such as wisdom teeth, extraction may be needed to prevent pain or damage to nearby teeth.
Infection or Abscess: If your tooth becomes infected and can't be treated with root canal therapy, we may need to extract it to stop the infection from spreading.

Our Tooth Removal Process

Our tooth removal process begins with a detailed consultation where our dentist assesses your oral health and discusses the most appropriate approach for your specific situation. During this visit, we take the time to listen to your concerns and explain your procedure, allowing you to feel fully informed and confident moving forward.

Our team works hard during the extraction to enhance your comfort and minimize discomfort throughout the procedure. We carefully remove the tooth using precise techniques while focusing on your comfort at every step. After the extraction, we will discuss different options for restoring your smile, such as a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture, based on your individual needs. Our goal is to help you recover quickly and restore your smile's function and appearance.

How Do I Care for My Smile After Extraction?

After a tooth extraction, following proper instructions to promote healing and prevent complications is important. For the first 24 hours, avoid touching the extraction site, and refrain from rinsing your mouth vigorously, sucking through a straw, or smoking, as these actions can dislodge the blood clot and slow the healing process. Applying an ice pack to the outside of your face can help reduce swelling during the first day. After the initial 24 hours, you can begin rinsing your mouth gently with warm salt water to help keep the area clean. You should rest, avoid strenuous activities for a few days, and stick to soft foods while the site heals. Follow our dentist's recommendations for pain relief, and if you experience any prolonged bleeding or unusual symptoms, contact our dentist promptly.

Tooth Extraction FAQS

We understand tooth removal may seem intimidating and leave you with questions. Our caring team is ready to answer your questions and make you feel at ease during your care. Our goal is to enhance your oral health, cater to your needs, and put you at ease. Common questions include:

How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?

Your recovery time varies, but most people heal within a few days to a week. Full healing may take a few weeks, and following aftercare instructions to promote proper healing is important.

Is it normal to have swelling after tooth removal?

Yes, some swelling is normal after a tooth extraction. Applying ice to the area during the first 24 hours can help reduce swelling, and it typically subsides within a few days.

Will I need stitches after a tooth extraction?

Depending on the complexity of your extraction, stitches may be required. If stitches are placed, they will either dissolve on their own or must be removed during a follow-up visit. Our office will inform you if a follow-up is needed.
