What to Expect
In preparation for your tooth extraction, our dental team will answer any questions you have and make sure you get all the information necessary to make your procedure successful. That includes telling you about the anesthetic options, making sure you have transportation arranged ahead of time, and working out insurance or other payment arrangements.
We’ll also let you know how to best care for your oral health in the days following the extraction, so that your gums can heal as quickly as possible and you can get back to normal activities right away.
Next Steps Following Tooth Extraction
Once a tooth has been extracted, it is important to follow up by replacing it with a prosthetic. Most people don’t like the idea of having a large gap in their smile, but cosmetic considerations are only part of the picture. The gap left by an extracted tooth exposes the gums and the teeth on either side to a greater risk of infection. The last thing you want after a tooth extraction is for another tooth to become infected and have to be removed as well!
Shortly after your procedure, your dentist and dental team will give you options for replacing the lost tooth. Implants and partial dentures are common solutions, and each one has pros and cons to consider. With the guidance of your dentist, you will choose the best one and get your smile looking and feeling great once again!
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
A very common need for tooth extraction involves wisdom teeth. These molars, located at the very back of the mouth, are the last of the adult teeth to emerge. As such, they sometimes fail to emerge completely and become trapped, or “impacted,” in the jaw below the mature dental structure. After a certain point, these impacted teeth will most likely never move into the correct position, and they will contribute to a number of negative oral health outcomes. The irregular shape of the dental structure surrounding the impacted teeth is difficult to brush and floss, creating an ideal growth environment for infections. In addition, impacted wisdom teeth often cause pain in the jaw, gums, and surrounding area.
Extraction of wisdom teeth is a common solution for this situation. Our team regularly performs this procedure for patients, and we know how to prepare you for the extraction, get you in and out quickly, and help you recover as soon as possible.
