Tooth Extractions

At Smiley Dental Clinic, we understand that the thought of a tooth extraction can be daunting. That’s why we prioritize your comfort and ensure a smooth, pain-free experience. Whether you need a simple extraction or a surgical procedure, our team is here to care for you every step of the way.

When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?

While preserving your natural teeth is always our goal, extractions are sometimes essential to maintain oral health. Common reasons include:

• Severe tooth decay or damage beyond repair.

• Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or infection.

• Overcrowding in preparation for orthodontic treatment.

• Periodontal (gum) disease causing loose teeth.

• Infected or abscessed teeth that cannot be saved.

Types of Tooth Extractions

1. Simple Extraction

   • Performed on visible teeth.

   • Typically quick and straightforward, using local anesthesia for a pain-free experience.

2. Surgical Extraction

   • Required for teeth that are broken, impacted, or not fully erupted (e.g., wisdom teeth).

   • Involves minor oral surgery under local or general anesthesia for comfort.

What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction

1. Consultation and Evaluation

   • A thorough examination, including X-rays, to determine the best treatment approach.

2. Anesthesia

   • Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area and ensure you feel no pain during the procedure.

3. Extraction Process

   • For simple extractions: The tooth is gently loosened and removed.

   • For surgical extractions: A small incision is made, and the tooth is carefully removed, sometimes in sections.

4. Aftercare Instructions

   • We provide detailed guidance on managing discomfort, swelling, and healing.

Aftercare Tips for a Smooth Recovery

• Bite Down on Gauze: Apply pressure to control bleeding.

• Avoid Hard Foods: Stick to soft foods for the first few days.

• Keep the Area Clean: Rinse gently with warm salt water.

• Avoid Smoking or Drinking Through a Straw: This helps prevent dry socket.

• Dental Implants: A permanent and natural-looking solution.
