Our dedicated team is trained in performing safe and effective tooth extractions, ensuring that when such procedures are required, they are carried out with the utmost care and precision. This commitment is part of our broader goal to maintain your oral health and provide relief from pain or discomfort associated with problematic teeth.

When Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

Tooth extractions may be recommended for several reasons, including severe decay, infection, impacted wisdom teeth or to make room for orthodontic treatment. Whatever the cause, we approach each case with a thorough evaluation to determine the most appropriate course of action for your dental health.
The process of tooth extractions at our practice involves:

• A detailed examination, including X-rays, to assess the affected tooth and surrounding bone structure.
• Discussion of the findings with you, including the reasons for the extraction and any alternative treatments that may be available.
• Administration of local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure a pain-free procedure. Sedation options are also available for patients who may experience anxiety.
• The actual extraction, where the tooth is carefully and gently removed from the socket. Techniques and approaches vary depending on the complexity of the case.
• Aftercare instructions are provided to promote healing and minimize the risk of infection. This includes advice on managing discomfort, swelling and maintaining oral hygiene during the recovery period.

Benefits of tooth extractions include:

• Relief from pain and discomfort caused by the problematic tooth.
• Prevention of further oral health issues, such as the spread of infection or damage to adjacent teeth.
• Preparation for further dental treatments, including orthodontics or dental implants, to improve oral health and aesthetics.
