Getting a Tooth Extraction

Tooth Extractions Can Be Necessary

At Maison Dental, we aim to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. However, there are situations where a tooth extraction may be the best option for your oral health. Extraction may be recommended if a tooth is severely damaged, extensively decayed, or affected by advanced gum disease or infection. Your dentist will assess your condition and discuss all available treatment options before proceeding with an extraction.

We Make You As Comfortable As Possible

Your oral surgeon will meet with you to discuss surgery details. This includes deciding on the type of sedation you may want and explaining what will happen during the surgery.

Maison Dental has local anesthetics that numb the area so you won't feel pain but will feel the pressure of work being done.

We also offer sedation options for those who have anxiety issues or who have trouble remaining still for an extended period.

Exam

We can assess your oral health to determine if you are a candidate for dental implants and discuss a treatment plan to address missing teeth.

Prior authorization

Some dental offices may also monitor your blood pressure and oxygen levels. It may be required that you get other health paperwork or approvals from your other doctors before the procedure is performed. The procedure starts with numbing the area.

The Extraction

The dentist or surgeon removes the tooth. They may do this by sectioning the tooth into smaller pieces to remove. They will then clean the area and remove any infection.

Suturing

The dentist or surgeon may put in a bone graft for an implant to be installed later. They will suture the area and prescribe another round of antibiotics. They will give you instructions on managing your wound over the next couple of weeks. You may need to return to have stitches removed, although most dissolve.

Tooth sensitivity and pain can be the symptom of any number of things. An exam at Maison Dental will give you the answers you need and a treatment plan that ends the pain. Contact us today.
