Why Might I Need a Tooth Extraction?

While it's always our goal to save your natural teeth, sometimes extraction is the best course of action for your overall oral health. Tooth extractions can help prevent the spread of infection, alleviate pain and discomfort, and make way for necessary dental treatments such as implants or dentures. In some cases, removing a tooth can also help with orthodontic treatment, creating the necessary space for teeth to move into their correct positions. Dr. Burns will always discuss all options with you and recommend extraction only when it's truly necessary.

The Benefits Of Tooth Extractions

Pain Relief

Tooth decay or damage can cause severe pain and discomfort. By removing the problematic tooth, we can provide immediate relief from this pain. At East Valley Dentistry, we ensure that the extraction process is as comfortable as possible, using local anesthesia to numb the area and minimize any discomfort during the procedure.

Prevents Further Damage

If a tooth is severely decayed or infected, it can pose a risk to the surrounding teeth and jawbone. Extraction can prevent this infection from spreading, protecting your overall oral health. After the extraction, Dr. Burns can discuss replacement options to maintain the function and appearance of your smile.

Makes Way for Dental Treatments

In some cases, tooth extraction can pave the way for other necessary dental treatments. For example, if a tooth is too damaged to support a crown or if there's not enough space for orthodontic treatment, extraction might be the best option. This procedure can help ensure the success of future dental work, improving your oral health in the long run.

The Tooth Extraction Treatment Process

Examination and X-Ray

The first step in the tooth extraction process is a thorough examination of your mouth and teeth. Dr. Burns will take an X-ray of the area to assess the condition of the tooth and plan the best method of extraction.

Anesthesia

Before the extraction, we'll administer local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure your comfort during the procedure. We also offer sedation options for your comfort. Dr. Burns will wait until the area is completely numb before proceeding with the extraction.

Tooth Extraction

Once the area is numb, Dr. Burns will carefully extract the tooth. He uses precise techniques to minimize any discomfort and promote faster healing after the procedure.
