Book an appointmentA tooth extraction is when your tooth is completely removed from its socket. Well this might sound daunting, it can be necessary to help you maintain your oral health. Luckily for our patients, our years of experience performing tooth extractions, and access to the latest equipment, makes it easy for us to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure!
You might need a tooth extraction if you have…
Before we start, Dr. Mehta will take the time to get to know you and your teeth better. We’ll talk about the procedure, all the whys and hows, and answer any questions you might have. He’ll also ask questions about any existing conditions you’re taking. Dr. Mehta will also take X-rays to get a clearer image of your tooth and its roots. But don’t worry – we’ll make sure you’re comfortable with numbing gel or sedation.
Next, it's time for the extraction. Dr. Mehta will gently extract your tooth and, if necessary, he’ll shape the bone or gum tissue to help you heal more smoothly. If needed, he can also stitch things up to give the area a helping hand in recovery.
After your extraction, we’ll place a gauze pad where the extracted tooth was to help stop the bleeding. Dr. Mehta will also recommend over-the-counter pain relievers to manage post-procedure discomfort.
How often should I get dental check-ups?
We use local anesthesia during our extractions to make your procedure as painless as possible. While you might have some discomfort after your procedure, we’ll recommend the best over-the-counter medications to use to help you manage it
What’s the recovery time like for this procedure?
Your recovery time will depend on the complexity of your extraction. Most of our patients experience a full recovery within a week or two!
Will I need stitches?
In some cases, stitches may be necessary to close the extraction site. However, we use dissolvable stitches that do not require removal.
