What Are Tooth Extractions?
Tooth extractions are dental procedures where a tooth that is severely damaged or decayed is removed from its socket in the jawbone. While our primary goal is always to save a natural tooth, sometimes an extraction is necessary to preserve the overall health of your mouth.
Reasons for Tooth Extractions
- Severe Decay: Teeth that are too decayed to be saved by a filling or a crown.
- Periodontal Disease: Advanced gum disease may lead to the need for tooth extraction if it causes the teeth to loosen.
- Impaction: Often seen with wisdom teeth, impaction occurs when a tooth fails to emerge fully into its expected position, potentially causing pain, swelling, and infection of the surrounding gum tissue.
- Orthodontic Treatment: Extractions can be required to eliminate crowding and make space for other teeth as part of an orthodontic treatment plan.
The Tooth Extraction Process
- Consultation and Examination: Dr. Hakimi will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to determine the condition of your teeth and discuss the best course of action.
- Preparation: If an extraction is needed, we will prepare you for the procedure by explaining what you can expect and administering a local anesthetic to ensure you feel no pain during the extraction.
- Extraction Procedure: The tooth is gently loosened and removed using precise dental instruments. Our team takes every precaution to make this process as smooth as possible.
- Post-Procedure Care: We provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you manage recovery at home, including tips on managing discomfort and promoting healing.
Sedation Options for Anxiety and Comfort
For patients who feel anxious about dental procedures, we offer sedation options to make the experience more comfortable. These options are discussed during the initial consultation and tailored to meet your individual needs and health conditions.
