Do I Need a Tooth Extraction?
Unfortunately, there are many factors that can lead to a tooth extraction in Denton, including:
- As preliminary preparation for dentures
- To treat overcrowding, particularly before orthodontic treatment
- Severe damage from a cavity or fracture that destroys most of a tooth, leaving it unable to support a dental filling or crown
- Wisdom teeth that are at risk for causing other problems
- Advanced stages of gum disease in which the teeth have become loose
Different Types of Tooth Extractions
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Many patients aren’t sure why they need wisdom teeth extractions, especially if they aren’t experiencing pain. However, our goal is not only to treat dental problems, but also prevent them! Wisdom teeth have a good chance of causing serious problems down the road such as infections, sinus problems, cysts, and crowding issues. Removing these teeth is a proactive way to keep your smile healthy.
Multiple Tooth Extractions
Due to factors like extensive cavities, accidents, genetics, or overcrowding, it’s not uncommon to need more than one extraction at a time. Depending on your situation, we’ll discuss any post-operative needs you may have such as tooth replacement options (e.g. dental implants, bridges, or dentures).
Extraction Site Preservation
When possible, we often recommend dental implants after tooth loss because they provide so many benefits. But since extractions can leave the jawbone too weak or thin to support an implant, we may recommend extraction site preservation. Done at the same time as an extraction, this procedure strengthens the jawbone with a grafting material to prepare it for a dental implant later on.
Post-Operative Care
Your recovery process is very important to us, and we’ll spend time reviewing the best way to care for your extraction site at home, including:
- Taking time off to rest (usually 2-3 days)
- Eating soft foods and chewing on the opposite side of your mouth
- Taking pain medication as directed
- Avoiding hot or carbonated beverages and not using a straw for the first 4-5 days
- Continuing to brush and floss, but not directly brushing the extraction area itself
- Calling us immediately with any questions or concerns
