It's always our goal to help patients preserve their natural teeth. Unfortunately, there comes a point in the life of a diseased tooth where it can no longer be successfully restored. Instead, the tooth is removed in order to prevent the decay or infection from spreading throughout the rest of the mouth.
Ensuring Your Comfort
Extractions do not have to be an uncomfortable experience. We perform the entire procedure using local anesthesia to ensure that the area surrounding the tooth does not feel any type of stimulation. During the dental exam, patients can also choose from one of our sedation options for an enhanced level of comfort.
Recovery
To encourage proper healing of your extraction site, we advise all patients to refrain from smoking, drinking carbonated beverages or drinking through a straw. Limit your diet to soft foods for the first few days after the procedure.
What comes next? Prior to your extraction, we will discuss which type of tooth replacement option is recommended. This will prevent changes in your bite as well as preserve aesthetics. We offer a wide variety of replacement options like dentures & partials and dental implants. Schedule your consultation visit with us—same and next day appointments are available!
