Why Might I Need an Extraction

Unhealthy or problematic teeth aren’t good for your oral health. Our team will always try to save your natural teeth, but sometimes a simple, painless tooth extraction is the best way to get your smile back on track. There are many reasons why a patient may need a tooth extracted. Wisdom teeth tend to cause discomfort that can be alleviated with extractions while some advanced restorative procedures, like dental implants, require the removal of unhealthy teeth. With a gentle technique and local anesthesia or sedation options, teeth extractions can be quick and painless.

Sedation Options for Maximum Comfort

We know extractions can feel scary, so let’s take the fear out of your treatment. Sedation can mitigate your anxiety and keep you calm during your procedure. Ask about our sedation options and we’ll help find a solution that works for you.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a procedure in which biocompatible materials, often bone grafting material or your own bone, are used to augment and support the jawbone. This helps create a solid foundation for future dental procedures such as dental implants or to prevent further bone deterioration. Our experienced dentist uses advanced techniques and technology to ensure the success and comfort of the bone grafting process. We prioritize your overall oral health, and bone grafting is a crucial step in maintaining the structural integrity of your jaw and supporting long-term dental health.

Treatment Plan

Whether you need a one off extraction or several teeth removed in preparation for additional services, your treatment plan is created specifically for you and your needs. You doctor will discuss all options and give you the final sign off so we can get your smile back on track in the way that makes you most comfortable.

Procedure Prep

After cleaning and sanitizing the site, your doctor will numb the area with local anesthesia. Depending on your case, you may only need local anesthesia for your extraction. The goal is to make you as comfortable as possible during treatment, so you may choose a sedation option as well. Sedation can help you relax and relieve anxiety during your procedure.

Extraction & Healing

The extraction itself usually only takes a few minutes. Once the tooth has been pulled, your dentist will clean the area and suture the extraction site if necessary. Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks. Your doctor will provide you with a comprehensive set of instructions to help your mouth heal as quickly as possible.

The Benefits of Dental Extractions

  • Eliminates Pain: From achy wisdom teeth to severe damage, extractions can get you out of pain quickly.
  • Treatment Prep: Extractions remove problematic teeth and clear the way for prosthodontics, like dental implants or dentures.
  • Better Oral Health: Removing problematic or painful teeth can improve your oral and overall health.
