Dental Extractions are an Effective Treatment for Damaged, Infected, or Painful Teeth
Preserving your teeth is always our priority, but sometimes tooth extraction is necessary. For instance, if you have an extra, impacted, or extensively damaged tooth, it is essential to consider extraction. Otherwise, leaving the tooth intact causes unnecessary discomfort and further health complications.
Murphy Family Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry offers safe and painless extractions in Murphy, Texas. Whether you need to extract a standard or wisdom tooth, you can trust Dr. Masoud E. Najari for expert dental extractions.
Why would a dentist recommend dental extraction?
Removing your tooth is a significant decision at our office. So, you can be assured when we recommend extraction, it’s absolutely necessary. Here are situations that may require tooth removal.
- To create space for orthodontic care due to overcrowding
- To fix severely damaged or decayed teeth that is non restorable
- To resolve an impacted or dysfunctional wisdom teeth
Delaying tooth extraction can create further health complications. Leaving a decayed or damaged tooth increases the risk of infection, which can damage the nearby structures. Tooth extraction resolves the immediate concerns of pain and infections. Once we remove your tooth, we’ll provide teeth replacement solutions to ensure you don’t suffer the long-term consequences of tooth loss.
What should I expect during tooth extraction?
Your treatment starts with a dental exam to determine the location and extent of tooth damage. This dental exam establishes the best way to extract your tooth.
Dental extraction can be simple or surgical.
Simple extraction: This type of extraction is ideal for teeth that are visible and accessible in the mouth. For general extractions, the doctor loosens the tooth from its socket with an elevator and pulls it out in one piece with forceps.
Surgical extraction: The doctor will recommend surgical extraction for impacted wisdom teeth or teeth whose crowns are broken at the gum line. The dentist will gently incise the gums to access the impacted tooth. The dentist may section the tooth into smaller fragments for easier removal. Â Once hemostasis is obtained a suture may be placed to promote healing.
After removing your tooth, the dentist will provide post-op instructions for a seamless recovery. Your aftercare includes medications and home remedies to minimize discomfort and prevent complications like a dry bone socket.Â
