A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. While extractions are typically seen as a last resort, they may be necessary in certain situations, such as when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged beyond repair, or if there is not enough space for teeth to align properly.
There are several reasons you might need a tooth extraction:
Our team will carefully assess your condition to determine whether extraction is the best course of action.
A tooth extraction typically involves numbing the area with local anesthesia. If necessary, sedation may be offered to ensure comfort. Once the area is numbed, your dentist will loosen the tooth and remove it from its socket. In more complex cases, such as impacted wisdom teeth, the procedure may require an incision in the gum.
Recovery time typically ranges from a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the extraction. You may experience some swelling and discomfort, but this can be managed with pain medication and following aftercare instructions. Our team will guide you through the healing process to ensure you recover as quickly and comfortably as possible.
Tooth extractions are generally not painful because the area is numbed with local anesthesia. After the procedure, some discomfort is common, but it can usually be controlled with over-the-counter pain relievers. If you experience excessive pain or complications, please contact us immediately.
