Understanding Tooth Extractions 

What is a Tooth Extraction? 

Tooth extraction just means the removal of a tooth. This may be needed for various reasons, from preventing infection to creating space in a crowded mouth. Depending on the tooth’s position and health, extractions range from simple removals to surgical procedures. 

Types of Tooth Extractions 

Simple Extractions: These involve visible teeth that can be removed with basic instruments. 

 Surgical Extractions: Reserved for teeth that aren’t easily accessible, such as impacted wisdom teeth. 

Common Reasons for Tooth Extractions 

Tooth Decay: Severe decay that can’t be treated with fillings or crowns may require extraction. 

 Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease can loosen teeth, sometimes making removal the best choice for your overall health. 

 Impacted Teeth: Teeth that are trapped under the gums, like wisdom teeth, often need extraction. 

 Overcrowding: Removing teeth can help align crowded teeth for orthodontic treatment. 

 Trauma: Damage from an injury could mean that extraction is the best solution. 

 The Tooth Extraction Process 

Initial Consultation 

Every extraction starts with a consultation at our office. During this visit, your oral surgeon will examine the tooth, review your dental history, and discuss any symptoms you’re experiencing. This is also the time to ask questions so you understand the treatment process. 

Pre-Extraction Preparation 

Before the extraction, your surgeon will review your medical history and provide instructions on how to prepare. Options for anesthesia will be discussed to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. 

The Extraction Procedure 

The extraction process varies based on whether it’s a simple or surgical extraction: 

Simple Extraction: Your dentist or oral surgeon numbs the area, loosens the tooth, and gently removes it. 

Surgical Extraction: For impacted or broken teeth, a surgical approach is best. 

Throughout, our team prioritizes pain management and comfort, using advanced tools and techniques.
