What Is a Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It’s usually performed when a tooth is too damaged to repair, causes alignment issues, or risks impacting other teeth.
When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
- Severe decay or infection that can’t be treated with a root canal.
- Overcrowding when preparing for orthodontic treatment.
- Impaction, often with wisdom teeth.
- A cracked or broken tooth that can’t be restored.
What Are the Different Types Of Tooth Extractions?
- Simple Extraction: For visible teeth. We loosen the tooth with special tools and remove it quickly and easily.
- Surgical Extraction: This procedure involves a small incision to access and remove teeth that are impacted, broken, or below the gum line.
Does a Tooth Extraction Hurt?
Thanks to modern anesthetics and our gentle techniques, the procedure itself is virtually painless. You may experience mild discomfort during recovery, which we’ll help you manage with post-op instructions and care.
How Long Is the Recovery Process?
Most patients recover within a few days. To heal quickly and prevent complications, rest, follow your care plan, and avoid hard foods.
