What Exactly Is
Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is the process of removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It’s typically recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, broken beyond repair, infected, or causing crowding. Extractions may be simple or surgical, depending on the tooth’s condition and position. Dentists may also recommend extraction before orthodontic treatment or if wisdom teeth are impacted. The procedure is done under local anesthesia to ensure comfort and safety for the patient.
Tooth Extraction Procedures in Detail
Initial Consultation & X-Ray
We start with a thorough dental examination and X-rays to evaluate the tooth’s position, root structure, and surrounding bone.
Anesthesia Administration
Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area. For anxious patients, we offer sedation options for a more relaxed experience.
Tooth Removal
For simple extractions, we loosen the tooth and remove it gently. For surgical extractions (e.g., wisdom teeth), a small incision may be required.
Post-Extraction Care
We provide detailed aftercare instructions and medication to manage pain, prevent infection, and promote healing.
