Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to protect your oral health when a tooth is severely damaged or decayed beyond repair. This procedure involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone, and it may be recommended for various reasons, such as severe tooth decay, trauma or overcrowding. Our dentist and ensure that tooth extractions are performed with the utmost care, prioritizing your comfort throughout the entire process.
Tooth extractions can be either simple or surgical:
- Simple Extractions: These are performed on teeth that are visible in the mouth and involve loosening the tooth and carefully removing it.
- Surgical Extractions: This type of extraction is necessary when the tooth is not easily accessible, such as in cases of impaction or broken teeth.
Before the extraction, Dr. Filiberto Herdocia will conduct a thorough evaluation, including X-rays, to assess the condition of the tooth and determine the best course of action. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and sedation options may be available for patients who feel anxious about the procedure.
After the extraction, we will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize any discomfort. Most patients recover quickly and can return to their normal routine within a few days.
