Do I Need An Extraction?

When a tooth is beyond saving, an extraction can eliminate potential health risks and provide a broader range of treatment options to restore long-term oral health. Whether you have a damaged, broken, or impacted tooth, there are various reasons why a careful and strategic extraction can be the right procedure for you. Here are some common reasons why an extraction might be the best choice for your situation:

  • Your tooth is cracked or damaged and is causing pain or is aesthetically unpleasant.
  • A root canal treatment you previously underwent has failed, and the tooth must be extracted to prevent the further spread of infection.
  • One of your teeth has emerged at an angle and become impacted.
  • A tooth has become loose due to gum disease and jawbone loss.
  • You need a tooth removed to make room for a restoration like dentures or implants.

Our Safe & Reliable Tooth Removal Process

When you enter our welcoming office with a painful or impacted tooth, we will first work to determine if an extraction is truly needed. We utilize x-rays and digital impression technologies to evaluate the problem tooth and craft a strategic plan to best extract the target with optimized safety and convenience.

Our dental team will numb the area and provide sedation services if requested to alleviate any discomfort or anxiety. Our gentle dentist, Pooja Aswani, DDS, will carefully perform a single or multiple tooth extraction before applying gauze to the affected tissue to protect it while it heals. Depending on the situation, we may provide bone grafting services to repair and replace damaged or impacted bones. This creates a sturdy foundation for any following dental implant procedures that you request.

Tooth Extraction FAQ

We understand that many patients view tooth extractions as a daunting procedure, but we are here to inform and keep you at ease regarding this routine process. We know that you have questions, and we have the answers. Common questions we frequently get asked about tooth extractions include:

How long will the gums take to heal?

The healing time depends on the type of surgery, the location of the tooth, and the number of extractions in a single procedure. Generally, you should expect to recover in 7-14 days. It can occasionally take longer, depending on your dental situation. Our dentist will provide you with an estimate based on your specific case.

A blood clot will form in the extracted gum area shortly after the procedure. This clot helps with the healing process and must be protected as our dentist instructs. It's normal to experience slight discomfort, swelling, and residual bleeding after the anesthesia has worn off and over the next 24 hours; however, the bleeding should clear up on its own.

Our dentist will provide aftercare instructions that will benefit your healing process. Here are some of the tips we recommend:

  • Use ice packs to reduce swelling
  • Use saline water to gently rinse out the gum
  • Elevate the head as much as possible to decrease bleeding
  • Eat foods that require less chewing
  • Brush and floss your teeth as you normally do, but avoid the extraction site
  • Limit activity for 24-48 hours
