Extractions

At Smiline Dental, we prioritize preserving your natural teeth whenever possible. However, in some cases, a tooth extraction may be necessary to protect your overall oral health. Whether due to decay, infection, or overcrowding, our skilled team will make the extraction process as comfortable and stress-free as possible, ensuring you receive the best care before, during, and after the procedure.

What Is a Tooth Extraction?

Extractions are another very common form of oral surgery. This can treat a number of issues—from impacted teeth, to overcrowding, to severely damaged or decayed teeth. This dental procedure is also common with wisdom teeth. After carefully monitoring your wisdom teeth, your dentist may decide to extract them as they otherwise often cause many issues with the surrounding teeth.

Why Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?

Tooth extractions are necessary when a tooth is severely damaged by decay, infection, or overcrowding. They help prevent the spread of bacteria and create space for proper alignment. Impacted wisdom teeth and advanced gum disease are also common reasons for extractions, helping to maintain overall oral health and avoid future complications.

What Does the Extraction Process Involve?

At Smiline Dental, we take every step to ensure your extraction is performed with the utmost care and comfort:

Removal of plaque and tartar: Our hygienists carefully remove the buildup from your teeth and gums, particularly in areas that are difficult to clean on your own.

Polishing your teeth: After cleaning, we polish your teeth to remove surface stains, leaving your smile shiny and smooth.

Fluoride treatment (optional): We may apply fluoride to help strengthen your tooth enamel and protect against cavities, especially if you are prone to decay.

Gum health evaluation: During the cleaning, we assess the health of your gums and check for early signs of gum disease, ensuring prompt treatment if needed.

What Happens After a Tooth Extraction?

After your tooth extraction, proper healing is essential. Our team will provide instructions for pain management and caring for the extraction site to prevent infection. We may schedule a follow-up to check healing, and if needed, discuss tooth replacement options like implants or dentures to restore your smile’s function and appearance.
