Extractions

Sometimes it is necessary to extract a tooth. This can happen for a variety of reasons. Extractions are commonly performed in cases where a deciduous “baby” tooth is reluctant to fall out, a severely broken down and non-restorable tooth is present, or “wisdom tooth” is poorly positioned and unable to fully erupt into place. Dental extractions, though they may sound daunting, can often be a vital step in preserving and enhancing your overall oral health.

At Greenville Smiles, our extraction procedures are conducted with the utmost care and professional expertise, ensuring that every step of the process is carried out with accuracy and precision. We understand the importance of making our patients feel at ease and comfortable, which is why we take the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, the post-surgical instructions, as well as any restorative follow-up care. Clear communication and patient education are paramount to us, as we believe that an informed patient is a confident and relaxed one.

Our approach to tooth extractions commences with a detailed oral examination to assess the condition of the tooth and determine the best method of extraction. Anesthesia is administered to numb the area and ensure pain-free removal of the tooth. With state-of-the-art tools and advanced techniques, our competent team performs the extraction efficiently, causing minimal discomfort to the patient.

Following the extraction, we provide comprehensive post-surgical instructions to aid in a smooth and speedy recovery. This includes advice on diet, oral hygiene practices, and medication, if necessary. The goal is to prevent complications and promote healing, ensuring a quick return to normal functions.

In certain cases, a restorative follow-up may be recommended. This could involve dental implants or bridges to replace the extracted tooth and preserve the structure and function of the surrounding teeth. Once again, this is explained in great detail to the patient, providing them with all the necessary information to make an informed decision.
