What are extractions?
A dental extraction is the surgical removal of a tooth from its socket. While the Denta Smiles team focuses on preserving your natural tooth whenever possible, severe decay and other oral health issues may require an extraction.
The experienced dental team provides extraction procedures for adults and children in the office. They take a patient-focused approach to assessing the health of your teeth to determine if extraction is necessary.
They offer sedation dentistry services, including oral sedation, intravenous (IV) sedation, and nitrous oxide, to keep you comfortable during surgery and reduce anxiety.
Why would I need an extraction?
An extraction may be a last resort option for damaged teeth that are not treatable with other dental techniques. The Denta Smiles team may suggest an extraction if you have dental issues like severe tooth decay, periodontal (gum) disease, or a fractured tooth.
You may also benefit from extraction surgery to remove impacted wisdom teeth or overcrowded teeth. If untreated, these conditions can cause serious complications, including decay and losing more teeth.
The providers use advanced X-ray technology to get a close-up view of your teeth and gums to determine if you need extraction surgery.
What can I expect during extraction surgery?
Extraction surgery is a minimally invasive and in-office procedure. The team can provide sedation if needed to keep you calm and numb your mouth with a local anesthetic.
Your provider uses dental instruments to loosen and lift your damaged tooth from the socket. They also clean the socket to remove bacteria and disinfect the area to prevent infection.
If tooth loss puts you at risk for weakening in your jawbone, the team can place a bone graft to stabilize your jaw. You may need stitches to close the incision and ensure your gum tissues fully heal.
After an extraction, you can expect to spend time recovering from the sedative medications. The team places clean gauze in the extraction site to stop bleeding and teaches you how to change it when you get home. They also provide additional after-care instructions to address pain and prevent infection.
