Tooth Removal/ Extractions in Tempe, AZ

Tooth extraction is usually the last option; sometimes, it’s necessary for realizing a healthy smile. Typically, tooth extraction is recommended only if it cannot be salvaged. This might include a severely chipped tooth, a broken or fractured tooth, severe dental decay within the tooth, or the tooth’s nerve has died. In any of these instances, tooth extraction is the best option.

We make your well-being a top priority throughout the entire procedure and also offer sedation dentistry to make it stress-free.

Do I Need a Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction may be necessary if you have any of the below problems:

  • A cavity or fracture has destroyed most of your tooth’s structure, making it incapable of supporting a dental crown or filling.
  • To receive the dentures.
  • You have overcrowded teeth, especially before orthodontic treatment
  • Wisdom teeth that are impacted
  • Teeth have loosened due to advanced stages of gum disease.

What Are the Types of Tooth Extractions?

There are different types of tooth extractions, including:

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Most people may need to have their wisdom teeth pulled out because there isn’t sufficient room for them in your mouth. This lack of space can lead to numerous problems, including oral cavity infections, sinus problems, cysts in the jaws, and alignment issues with the other teeth. Even when the wisdom teeth are not causing any distress, extractions are a proactive way to prevent more severe problems later.

Multiple Tooth Extractions

In some instances, multiple teeth need to be extracted at the same time. This may be due to several reasons such as extensive cavities, trauma, heredity, or overcrowding. Orthodontic treatments will also need the removal of a few teeth to help in the alignment process.

What Is the Post-Operative Care After Tooth Extractions?

The post-operative instructions for caring for the extraction site at home include:

  • Take a few days to rest from work and allow for healing.
  • Chew in the opposite area of the extraction.
  • Consume a soft diet.
  • Take pain medication as directed.
  • Don’t use a straw for the first two to three days.
  • Avoid hot or carbonated drinks.
  • Regularly brush and floss, but avoid directly cleaning the extraction site.
