Tooth Extraction
We provide expert tooth extraction services with a focus on your comfort and oral health. Tooth extraction is sometimes necessary to preserve your overall dental well-being. Our skilled team ensures that every extraction is performed with the utmost care and precision.
When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extraction may be recommended for various reasons, including:
- Severe Tooth Decay : When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be restored with a filling, crown, or root canal.
- Gum Disease : Advanced periodontal disease can cause teeth to become loose and may necessitate extraction.
- Impacted Teeth : Teeth that are trapped in the jawbone or under the gums, such as wisdom teeth, often need to be removed.
- Overcrowding : Sometimes teeth need to be extracted to make room for orthodontic treatments like braces.
- Infection : An infected tooth that does not respond to root canal therapy may need to be extracted to prevent the spread of infection.
- : Teeth that are severely damaged from trauma and cannot be repaired might require extraction.
The Tooth Extraction Process
- Initial Consultation : Your extraction process begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation. Dr. Shukla will assess your oral health, take X-rays if necessary, and discuss the need for extraction.
- Anaesthesia : To ensure your comfort, a local anaesthetic will be administered to numb the area around the tooth. For patients who are anxious or require multiple extractions, sedation options are available.
- Extraction :
- Simple Extraction: For teeth that are visible and easily accessible, a simple extraction is performed. Dr. Shukla will use specialized instruments to gently loosen and remove the tooth.
- Surgical Extraction: For impacted or severely broken teeth, a surgical extraction might be necessary. This involves making an incision in the gum to access and remove the tooth, sometimes in pieces.
- Post-Extraction Care : After the extraction, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent complications. This includes advice on managing pain, swelling, and bleeding, as well as dietary recommendations.
- Follow-Up Appointments : We schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing progress and address any concerns. If needed, we will discuss tooth replacement options, such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures, to restore your smile.
Benefits of Tooth Extraction
- Relief from Pain : Removing a problematic tooth can relieve severe pain and discomfort.
- Prevention of Further Issues : Extracting infected or damaged teeth can prevent the spread of infection and preserve your overall oral health.
- Improved Oral Function : Addressing overcrowding and impacted teeth can improve the alignment and function of your bite.
- Support for Orthodontic Treatment : Creating space in the mouth can facilitate successful orthodontic treatment.
