Dental extraction, commonly known as tooth extraction, is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is typically performed when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or causing other dental issues that cannot be addressed through other treatments.
Our dentists make every effort to preserve your natural teeth. However, extractions are necessary when decay has made the tooth unsalvageable or when you have an advanced periodontal disease. When a tooth is malformed, damaged, impacted or ingrown, different procedures are used, but all extractions are considered surgery. Depending on which tooth is removed, we can offer you a replacement in the form of a dental implant or oral prosthetic.
Anestheisa - The area around the tooth is numbed to ensure a painless experience during the extraction.
Tooth Removal - The dentist uses specialized tools to gently loosen and remove the tooth from its socket.
Aftercare - Patients are provided with instructions for post-extraction care, including pain management and proper healing.
