Safe & Gentle Tooth Extractions for a Healthier Smile
At North Haven Dentists, we understand that needing a tooth extraction can feel overwhelming. Our team, led by Dr. M. Aruri, prioritizes your comfort and oral health, using advanced techniques to ensure a smooth, stress-free procedure. Whether you need a simple extraction or a more complex surgical extraction, we are here to provide expert care in a calm and supportive environment.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
A tooth extraction may be needed if a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or causing alignment issues. Common reasons include:
- Severe tooth decay that cannot be restored with a filling or crown
- Advanced gum disease leading to loose teeth
- Impacted teeth, including wisdom teeth
- Broken or fractured teeth beyond repair
- Overcrowding in preparation for orthodontic treatment
- Infected teeth that do not respond to root canal therapy (Learn more about root canals)
If you are experiencing severe tooth pain, swelling, or infection, prompt evaluation is crucial. We also handle dental emergencies.
Types of Tooth Extractions
- Simple Tooth Extraction: A simple extraction is performed when the tooth is fully visible and accessible. Dr. Aruri will numb the area and carefully remove the tooth using specialized instruments.
- Surgical Tooth Extraction: A surgical extraction is needed when the tooth is impacted, broken below the gum line, or difficult to remove. This procedure may involve incisions and bone removal, commonly performed for wisdom teeth extractions (Learn more about wisdom teeth removal).
What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction
We strive to make the extraction process as comfortable as possible. Here is what to expect:
- Numbing the area with local anesthesia to prevent pain.
- Gently loosening and removing the tooth.
- Suturing (if needed) for surgical extractions.
- Providing aftercare instructions to promote healing.
For patients with dental anxiety, we offer sedation dentistry options for a relaxed experience. Learn more about sedation options here.
Tooth Extraction Aftercare & Recovery
Following a tooth extraction, proper care is essential for healing:
- Bite on gauze to control bleeding and form a blood clot.
- Apply ice packs to reduce swelling.
- Avoid drinking through a straw to prevent dry socket.
- Eat soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, and soup.
- Take prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief as directed.
- Maintain oral hygiene carefully but avoid brushing the extraction site for 24 hours.
Healing time varies, but most patients recover within a few days to a week. If you experience prolonged pain, swelling, or bleeding, contact us immediately.
Replacing an Extracted Tooth
If your tooth needs to be extracted, it is important to consider replacement options to maintain your oral health and smile function. We offer:
- Dental Implants – A permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement.
- Dental Bridges – A fixed option that restores function and aesthetics.
- Dentures – Partial or full dentures for multiple missing teeth.
During your consultation, Dr. Aruri will discuss the best solution based on your needs.
