Tooth extraction near me

Tooth extraction is a routine dental procedure that can address a range of issues, from severe decay to overcrowding or broken teeth. Your dentist removes a tooth from its socket in the jawbone to protect oral health. At Captain Dental, we ensure a pain-free experience with advanced techniques and sedation options, including emergency tooth extractions for immediate relief.

There are 2 main types of tooth extractions:

  • Simple extraction: For visible teeth using local anesthesia.
  • Surgical extraction: Required for impacted, broken, or hard-to-reach teeth, often involving minor incisions.

What is the tooth extraction process?

After booking a tooth extraction procedure with your local dentist at Captain Dental, here are the steps you can expect:

  1. Initial consultation:
    • Examination of the affected tooth and surrounding tissues.
    • X-rays to assess the tooth’s position and root structure.
  2. Procedure preparation:
    • Local anesthesia or sedation options based on patient needs.
    • Detailed explanation of the steps to ensure comfort and confidence.
  3. Tooth removal:
    • For a simple extraction: Your dentist will loosen the tooth and remove it with forceps.
    • For a surgical extraction: Your dentist will make a small incision to access and remove the tooth, sometimes in sections.
  4. Post-procedure care:
    • Your local dentist will provide instructions for managing bleeding, swelling, and discomfort.
    • You will be given guidance on soft foods, oral hygiene practices, and pain management during recovery.

Who might need a tooth extraction?

Your local dentist will recommend a tooth extraction in one of the following cases:

  • Tooth decay or damage: When a tooth is beyond repair with fillings or crowns.
  • Impacted teeth: Wisdom teeth or others that fail to erupt correctly.
  • Overcrowding: Creating space for orthodontic treatments.
  • Gum disease: Advanced periodontal disease that weakens tooth support.
  • Infection or abscess: To prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth or the jawbone.
  • In preparation for dentures or implants: Removing damaged teeth to make room for prosthetic solutions.

At Captain Dental, we focus on patient comfort through pain-free techniques and sedation dentistry, ensuring a smooth and worry-free tooth extraction experience.
