When Is a Tooth Extraction Needed?
While preventive services like dental cleanings and dental fillings help preserve natural teeth, certain situations require removal, including:
- Severe decay or damage beyond repair
- Advanced gum disease affecting the bone
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Orthodontic preparation for clear aligners or braces
- Dental infections unresponsive to root canal therapy
Early diagnosis through regular dental exams can often help minimize the need for extractions.
Types of Tooth Extractions
At Aglow Dental Studio, we perform different types of extractions depending on your needs:
- Simple Extractions: For visible teeth that need straightforward removal.
- Surgical Extractions: For teeth broken at the gum line or impacted below the surface.
- Wisdom Teeth Extractions: Often necessary to prevent crowding, infection, or damage to surrounding teeth.
Complex extractions may involve specialized imaging like 3D CT scanning for precise treatment planning.
What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction
Your comfort is our priority. Here’s what the process typically involves:
- Thorough exam and imaging to evaluate the tooth and surrounding structures.
- Local anesthesia to numb the area and prevent discomfort.
- Gentle removal of the tooth, minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
- Detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing.
Depending on your situation, we may recommend options like dental implants or dental bridges to restore your smile afterward.
