Extractions

Good oral hygiene is a must. The loss of a single tooth can have major impact on overall oral health and appearance. Although dentists will use every measure to prevent tooth loss, there are still some occasions when a tooth needs to be extracted. A tooth may need to be extracted if the following occurs: -Severe decay -Advanced gum disease -Infection or abscess -Orthodontic correction -Malpositioned teeth -Fractured teeth or roots -Impacted teeth The dentist may suggest an extraction after careful examination and treatment. X-rays are used to understand the shape and position of the tooth and surrounding bone before extracting the tooth. Based on the degree of difficulty, a dentist may refer you to an oral surgeon. A certain amount of pain and discomfort is to be expected following an extraction, but it can be minimized with painkillers and ice packs applied to the face for 15 minutes at a time. Discomfort should lessen within three days to two weeks. If you experience prolonged or severe pain, swelling, bleeding or fever, call our office immediately.

"I just recently started going to Dedicated Dental. Everyone that works there is so incredibly nice and the wait is never that long to be able to get in. I had to have an old filling drilled out and replaced along with another cavity. All my life of having cavities filled, etc.. It was the best experience I’ve ever had. My bite was right on from the get-go and I’ve never had a problem with it since. Thanks for being awesome!"
