Extractions

In most cases, extractions are straightforward procedures that are the first step in replacing a tooth that’s been severely damaged, decayed or infected.  Although many patients may feel apprehensive about this procedure due to pain, the extraction process is virtually painless, thanks to resources like anesthetic and sedation.

 

There are several options to have teeth replaced after an extraction such as dental implants, bridge,partial denture . We will be glad to discuss all those options during the consultation. 

 

To ensure that your extraction recovery is comfortable and free of any complications, proper aftercare is very important. When you comply with all post extraction guidelines, you’ll minimize any swelling and soreness you may feel and ensure that your gums heal and stay healthy.  We help you determine the specific aftercare you need based on your individual case, but as general guidelines, comply with the following:

• Avoid strenuous activity and get plenty of rest.
• Follow all prescribed recommendations including the proper use of aftercare medications.
• Enjoy soft, mild foods that are specified as part of your post-op diet.
