Frequently Asked Questions
When Is A Tooth Extraction Necessary?
A tooth extraction may be necessary when severe decay or an accident damages a tooth beyond repair. Removing the affected tooth relieves pain, reduces harmful bacteria that can damage surrounding teeth and gums, and prevents more serious oral complications from developing.
What Is The Difference Between A Simple And Complex Extraction?
A simple extraction removes a tooth that is fully visible and accessible above the gumline. A complex extraction is needed for teeth that are broken, impacted, or below the gumline. Our experienced team determines the best extraction method after reviewing your X-rays.
What Should I Expect Before And During My Extraction?
X-rays are first taken to assess the tooth and surrounding bone. Our doctors then choose the best extraction method and explain what will happen on the day and during recovery. On the day of your procedure, sedation is provided if appropriate for your comfort.
What Happens After A Tooth Extraction?
After your extraction, you receive clear aftercare instructions and any necessary medication prescriptions. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to assess your healing and make sure your recovery is progressing smoothly and comfortably.
Can A Missing Tooth Be Replaced After Extraction?
Yes, an extraction can lay the foundation for reconstructive treatments such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures. Our team discusses tooth replacement options with you during planning, so you can restore your smile’s function and appearance after healing.
