A tooth extraction occurs when a dentist or surgeon removes a tooth.
The simplest extraction involves only a local anesthesia and is achieved by pulling the tooth out with a dental forceps.
Extracting a tooth can be more difficult in some cases, such as when it has not fully erupted. Full anesthesia, proper surgery, and most likely the services of an oral surgeon will be necessary in those circumstances (which are uncommon).
A tooth that is too seriously damaged to be restored due to trauma or decay is a common reason. Other considerations include: A crowded mouth. Dentists may extract teeth to prepare the mouth for orthodontic treatment.
BOOK NOWThe doctors at Dr. Hessa Clinic are well-versed in doing extractions in the most comfortable and efficient manner feasible. We’ll use a local anesthetic and, if necessary, sedation to keep you comfortable during the treatment. Depending on your situation, your dentist may be able to extract and loosen the tooth in its entirety, or he may prefer to create a cut in the bone or gum to expose the tooth. We can refer you to an oral surgeon or any other specialist in complicated circumstances.
Your doctor will cover the gap with gauze and ask you to apply force to reduce the bleeding once your teeth or tooth has been entirely extracted.
The number of teeth to be extracted, type of extraction, sedation requirement, and sedation type would determine the treatment cost.
Absolutely! Since dental extraction is a surgical procedure, we would recommend you get the tooth removed under sedation.
