When Do You Need a Tooth Extraction?

If you’re living with a toothache due to an untreated infection or you’ve suffered dental trauma, you may need a tooth extraction to preserve your smile. A damaged or abscessed tooth can lead to more serious issues, threatening your other teeth and your overall health. At the Teeth4You Implant Center, our first goal is to save your natural teeth, but sometimes an extraction is necessary. That’s why we provide gentle tooth extractions in Middletown, NY to save your smile from further harm. With sedation dentistry, a relaxing and friendly atmosphere, and affordable pricing, we’ll make your tooth extraction as simple as possible.

Our first goal is to save your natural teeth, but sometimes an extraction is necessary.

Our Tooth Extraction Process

The first step in tooth extraction is to examine the problem tooth or teeth. At this step, we’ll determine whether an extraction is needed. Because we’re in-network with most leading dental insurance providers, we will be able to work with you to find the best solution for your health and your finances. If we schedule you for a tooth extraction in Middletown, NY, this means we were unable to salvage your tooth with conservative measures. For most patients, tooth extraction is a fast and efficient surgery that ultimately relieves their pain. Our patients report that although they experienced slight pressure during the procedure, they remained relaxed and comfortable at their appointment.

Our Extraction Services

After you arrive for your tooth extraction procedure at our Middletown, NY office, we’ll first ensure that you’re comfortable, then provide you with either sedation or a local anesthetic. Next, we’ll use forceps to grasp your problem tooth and gently remove it, being careful not to harm the neighboring healthy teeth or your bone and gum tissue. Our dentists routinely perform tooth extractions, and have the skills to perform them efficiently and painlessly. Before you know it, your procedure will be over! You’ll need a few days to heal, during which you may take over-the-counter medication for any discomfort. We’ll review post-operative recommendations and directions with you to ensure that your recovery goes as smoothly as possible.
If you need one or all of your wisdom teeth extracted, our priority is to ensure that you’re calm and comfortable throughout your surgery. We offer sedation dentistry as needed, and we prepare the surgical site with a local anesthetic. Next, we’ll remove your wisdom teeth, carefully preserving the surrounding bone and gum tissue. Once the surgery is complete, we’ll provide you with instructions for your at-home care and recovery. Following these directions will help healthy blood clots form and reduce the risk of infection at your surgical site.

Caring For Your Tooth Extraction Site

After a tooth extraction, it’s important to take special care of the extraction site, to make sure that the healing process goes smoothly. Typically, a blood clot forms over the empty tooth socket during your healing. If this doesn’t happen, or if the blood clot is removed, the bone and nerves below the empty socket are exposed, which is a painful complication called “dry socket.” You can prevent dry socket and ensure a full recovery by following the post-operative guidelines we’ll give you.

Your tooth extraction shouldn’t be the last stage of your treatment, however! For most of our patients, we recommend replacing the extracted tooth, and in general, dental implants are the “gold standard” option for tooth replacement. These permanent tooth replacements look and act just like your natural teeth, and the implant provides stimulation to your jaw, preventing jawbone loss. This tooth will look identical to your natural teeth and provide the same functional benefits, so it will be as if you had never had a tooth extracted at all!
