At our dental clinic, we are committed to providing you with a comfortable and supportive environment, especially when it comes to tooth extractions. This procedure, while common, is approached with the utmost care and professionalism by our skilled dental team.
Tooth extraction is a treatment that we resort to only when absolutely necessary. We might consider an extraction if a tooth is severely damaged and cannot be saved or to resolve issues related to overcrowding in your mouth. Other reasons for extraction include advanced gum disease or preparation for certain dental procedures, such as braces, that require additional space within the mouth.
When you visit us for an extraction, we start with a thorough examination of your dental health. Our approach involves using the latest imaging technologies to assess the affected tooth and surrounding bone structure. This helps us plan the most effective and least invasive extraction procedure.
We understand that the thought of having a tooth removed can be unsettling. That is why we ensure to explain every step of the process. Our dentist and team are here to answer your questions and provide you with detailed care instructions for before and after your procedure.
Pain management is a critical component of the extraction process. We offer several anesthesia options to make the experience as pain-free as possible. From local anesthetics to sedation options, our goal is to keep you comfortable and relaxed throughout the procedure.
After the extraction, our care for you continues. We provide comprehensive post-extraction guidelines to help you heal quickly and effectively. This includes advice on managing discomfort, preventing infection and promoting healing in the extraction site. We also discuss your options for replacing the extracted tooth, such as implants or bridges, to restore function and aesthetics to your smile. If a dental implant is planned to replace the missing tooth, the skill of the doctor performing the extraction is very important. Dr. Brooks is experienced at removing teeth with minimal trauma to the surrounding bone. Often an implant can be placed at the time of the extraction.
