Tooth Extractions

Expert Tooth Removal for Your Comfort and Care

A dental extraction may be recommended if a tooth is deeply decayed, causing severe pain, or to assist with orthodontic treatment. Thanks to modern pain management techniques and technology, this routine procedure can be completed with little to no discomfort. Afterward, it is essential to rest and closely follow our aftercare instructions, which include eating soft foods, using a cold compress to minimize swelling, and avoiding smoking or drinking from a straw to prevent a painful condition known as a dry socket. Additionally, it is important to consider how you will preserve the empty space left behind; if left untreated, the underlying jawbone can naturally degenerate and change shape during the healing process. To prevent this bone loss and keep your smile properly aligned, we can seamlessly fill the space using a custom dental implant or a durable bridge once your extraction site has beautifully healed.
