Tooth Extraction Services at Springwood Dental Associates

At Springwood Dental Associates, your comfort and health are our top priorities. While preserving your natural teeth is always our goal, there are times when a tooth extraction may be the best option to protect your overall oral health. Our skilled dental team is here to ensure that the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?

A tooth extraction may be recommended for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is too damaged to be restored with a filling or crown.
  • Infection or Abscess: If a tooth is infected beyond what a root canal can resolve.
  • Overcrowding: To make space for orthodontic treatment or to alleviate crowding in the mouth.
  • Impacted Teeth: Commonly associated with wisdom teeth that are unable to emerge properly.
  • Gum Disease: When a tooth becomes loose due to advanced periodontal disease.

What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction

At Springwood Dental Associates, we take every step to make the extraction process as comfortable as possible:

  1. Comprehensive Evaluation: We’ll review your dental history, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment options.
  2. Local Anesthesia: To ensure a pain-free procedure, we use local anesthesia to numb the area.
  3. Gentle Extraction: Our experienced team uses advanced techniques to carefully and efficiently remove the tooth.
  4. Post-Procedure Guidance: You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote a quick and smooth recovery.

After Your Extraction

Healing after a tooth extraction typically takes a few days. To ensure the best results, we recommend:

  • Avoiding hard or sticky foods.
  • Following our instructions for pain management and cleaning the area.
  • Scheduling a follow-up appointment if needed to discuss options like bridges, implants, or dentures for tooth replacement.
