Signs You Need a Tooth Extraction

Severe Tooth Decay:

When a tooth is extensively damaged by decay and cannot be adequately restored with a filling or crown, extraction may be the only viable option to prevent the spread of infection and further deterioration of the tooth.

Advanced Periodontal (Gum) Disease:

Severe gum disease can lead to the destruction of the supporting bone and tissues around a tooth, causing it to become loose and unstable. Extraction stops the progression of the disease and prevents further tooth loss.

Overcrowding:

In some cases, the extraction of one or more teeth is necessary to create space for orthodontic treatment, allowing the remaining teeth to be properly aligned and improve the overall appearance and function of the bite.

Preparation for Dentures or Dental Implants:

Before placing dentures or dental implants, any compromised or unrestorable teeth may need to be extracted for a stable, functional result.

Infection or Abscess:

A severe tooth infection, known as an abscess, can spread to other areas of the mouth or even the rest of the body if left untreated. Extraction may be the best option to eliminate the source of the infection and prevent further complications.

Pre-Existing Medical Conditions:

Certain medical conditions, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy or uncontrolled diabetes, can increase the risk of complications from a diseased or damaged tooth, making extraction a necessary preventive measure.

Types of Tooth Extractions

Simple Extraction: Performed on a visible tooth that is not damaged or impacted.
Surgical Extraction: Involves removing a tooth that is broken, impacted or hasn't fully erupted, often requiring sedation.
Wisdom Teeth Removal: A specialized surgical extraction for impacted wisdom teeth, often requiring bone removal or an incision.
Baby Tooth Extraction: Typically performed on children to remove a baby tooth that is not falling out naturally or causing issues with adult teeth.

What To Expect The Tooth Extraction Process

Initial Consultation and Evaluation

An oral surgeon will thoroughly examine your mouth, review your medical history and take X-rays or 3D scans to assess the condition of the tooth and surrounding structures.
We’ll discuss the reasons for the extraction, the type of extraction required (simple or surgical), any potential complications and the options for replacement, such as a dental implant or bridge.
This consultation is an important opportunity to ask questions, express any concerns and gain a clear understanding of the process.

Preparation and Sedation Dentistry

On the day of the procedure, the treatment area will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
We numb the affected tooth and surrounding gum tissue for your comfort.
Depending on the complexity of the extraction, additional anesthetic techniques, such as block or infiltration injections, may be used to provide more comprehensive numbing.

Tooth Extraction

If the tooth is visible and fully erupted, your oral surgeon will use specialized forceps to gently rock the tooth back and forth, gradually loosening it from the socket.
For impacted or deeply rooted teeth, a more involved surgical approach may be necessary. This involves making an incision in the gum tissue, removing any surrounding bone and sectioning the tooth into smaller pieces for easier extraction.
Throughout the process, your surgeon will confirm you are comfortable and take measures to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissues.

Wound Closure and Post-Operative Care

After the tooth has been removed, the extraction site will be thoroughly cleaned, and any bleeding will be controlled using gauze, sutures or other hemostatic agents.
In some cases, your surgeon may place a dissolvable suture or packing material to help the site heal and prevent complications.
You'll receive detailed instructions on how to care for the extraction site, including recommendations for pain management, diet and oral hygiene during the healing process.

Healing and Follow-Up

Over the next several days to weeks, the extraction site will gradually heal and close. It's important to follow post-operative instructions to promote proper healing and prevent any complications, such as infection or dry sockets.
You may be advised to avoid certain foods, use over-the-counter pain medications as needed and maintain excellent oral hygiene practices.
Depending on the complexity of the extraction, you may have a follow-up appointment to monitor the healing progress and address any concerns.
