Extractions

If you’re experiencing tooth pain, our specialists will help evaluate your situation and provide safe tooth removal services.

Sometimes wisdom teeth can cause pain and discomfort or can become infected. In those instances, the removal of the wisdom teeth is highly recommended. Our process is quick and comfortable and performed in a safe, controlled environment.

Other reasons for tooth extraction include tooth decay, where the severity of the decay has weakened the tooth, or physical damage to a tooth where it is beyond repair. 

Our priority is preserving a tooth whenever possible, but we do assess each scenario and determine the best course of action.

When is a tooth extraction necessary?

While there are many reasons why a tooth extraction may be necessary, here are some of the most common ones:

Tooth extraction – the healing process

Typically, a few days of rest are required to properly heal after your tooth extraction. Here are some tips and tricks you can follow to help make the healing process as comfortable as possible. 

  • To reduce swelling, apply ice to the affected area.
  • Take the prescribed dosage of pain medication.
  • Avoid rinsing the affected area for 24 hours. 
  • Get at least 24 hours of rest before returning to your regular daily activity.
  • Try to avoid the extraction area when brushing and flossing.
  • Stick to soft foods for the first few days following your tooth extraction.

Next steps

Naturally, it will take some time to get used to the feeling of an absent tooth, but we can help. Once the extraction area has been fully healed, we can fully restore your beautiful smile with dental implants that will help make things feel normal again.
