Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are nerve-wracking for many patients. While we always try to save the tooth, our expert team can safely and gently extract a problem tooth when necessary.
Tooth Extractions in New Port Richey, Palm Harbor, or North Tampa
Tooth extractions are dental procedures in which the dentist removes a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While preserving your natural teeth is always our priority, extractions may be necessary to address issues like severe decay, damage that cannot be repaired, or overcrowding in preparation for orthodontic treatment. Our team at ESI Dentistry uses advanced techniques and anesthesia to ensure a pain-free and stress-free experience.
-
Does a tooth extraction hurt?
With modern anesthesia and techniques, tooth extractions are typically pain-free. Any discomfort during recovery can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and following our aftercare instructions.
-
How long does a tooth extraction take to heal?
Healing times vary but typically take 7-10 days. During this period, it’s essential to follow your dentist’s advice to avoid complications like dry socket.
-
Will I need a replacement for the extracted tooth?
In many cases, replacing an extracted tooth with a dental implant, bridge, or denture is recommended to maintain your smile’s function and appearance. We’ll discuss your options during your visit.
