Tooth Exactions

DO YOU HAVE TOOTH PAIN?

Preserving the health of your smile is always our priority, and we do all we can to ensure this can be done through treatments that save your natural teeth. However, there are certain instances where maintaining or reestablishing proper oral health includes tooth extractions. Many reasons exist that necessitate tooth extractions. We will work with you to explain your oral condition and why we would recommend an extraction to preserve your smile and overall health.

With years of experience serving patients, we have the skills and knowledge to safely and conveniently perform tooth extractions, helping you achieve your best smile possible.

VIRTUALLY PAINLESS TOOTH EXTRACTIONS

It is natural to feel apprehensive about your tooth extraction procedure. But having your tooth pulled is a relatively simple and routine procedure that we can complete at our office in just one appointment. We use local anesthetics to ensure that you feel little to no discomfort during your procedure.

If you feel you may need additional assistance calming your nerves, we offer custom sedation options to assure complete relaxation while you are here. During your procedure you will only feel a slight, mild sensation of pressure as the tooth is being extracted! The recovery period and procedure will depend on how we decide to replace your tooth, but it usually involves keeping the site of the extraction clean, avoiding tough, chewy, or sticky foods, and taking care not to disturb the site during brushing and flossing. If one or more of your teeth have any of the following problems, you may need tooth extractions:

  • Irreparable damage or fracture
  • Damage that cannot be restored with a root canal
  • Suffered repeated dental trauma
  • Undergone multiple dental procedures
  • Baby tooth blocking eruption of an adult tooth
  • Severe impaction (often wisdom teeth)

WISDOM TOOTH IMPACTION

Wisdom tooth impaction is probably the most common reason for tooth extraction. Many people’s mouths are not large enough to accommodate wisdom teeth. Further, wisdom teeth often come in at strange angles and present a real risk of impaction. A tooth that is said to be impacted is a tooth that runs into another structure in the mouth before it is able to fully emerge from the gum line. Impaction presents a real risk for infection and other oral maladies.

Wisdom teeth are typically removed in the late teens or early twenties because there is a greater chance that the tooth’s roots have not fully formed and the bone surrounding the teeth is less dense. These two factors can make extractions easier, as well as making the recovery time much shorter. Inability to keep wisdom teeth clean is also a reason to have your wisdom teeth removed.

Wisdom teeth extractions at Moses Lake Dental Group are done by our professional dentist and staff in a sterile environment where we make sure you are comfortable and taken care of. We offer General Anesthesia to make your treatment relaxed and free from stress. Our staff is happy and willing to answer all concerns that you may have.
Whether your wisdom teeth are simple extractions, or impacted and need surgical removal, Moses Lake Dental Group will take care of you using the appropriate anesthetic and the greatest care for your comfort.
