Sometimes the best way to protect your oral health is to remove a tooth that is too damaged, infected, or crowded to save. A dental extraction is a safe, routine procedure that prevents further problems and helps you move forward with a healthier smile.
At Sardina Dental Group, our team provides gentle, professional extractions with your comfort as the top priority.
While saving natural teeth is always our goal, there are times when removing a tooth is the best option. An untreated damaged or infected tooth can cause pain, spread infection, and affect surrounding teeth.
A tooth extraction can:
✔️ Stop infection from spreading
✔️ Relieve pain from a severely damaged or decayed tooth
✔️ Create space for orthodontic treatment
✔️ Prepare your mouth for implants, dentures, or other restorations
✔️ Protect the health of your remaining teeth and gums
🦷 Step 1: Careful Evaluation
We begin with digital X-rays and an exam to determine the best approach for removing your tooth safely.
🦷 Step 2: Comfortable Treatment
Unlike your old dentist, we use precision anesthesia technology to make getting numb more comfortable. The system controls the flow of anesthetic, reducing the sensation.
🦷 Step 3: Gentle Removal
Your dentist carefully loosens and removes the tooth. For impacted or broken teeth, a small surgical procedure may be required.
🦷 Step 4: Immediate Aftercare
We provide detailed instructions for recovery, including how to manage swelling and protect the healing site.
🦷 Step 5: Planning for the Future
If needed, we will discuss options for replacing your tooth with implants, bridges, or dentures to restore full function and appearance.
Choosing not to remove a problem tooth can lead to:
An extraction can bring immediate relief and protect your long-term health.
Stop wasting time wondering where to get great dental care and start loving your dentist. We look forward to meeting you!
