A wide range of dental care services at one convenient location
Despite the preventative dental care available today, there still remain many instances where teeth must be extracted. Teeth are under constant assault. Each day decay, disease, and trauma threaten to dislodge adult teeth. In some cases, the best solution for saving the smile is removing the affected tooth. Mouths are also under siege from within, as wisdom teeth and other impacted teeth can easily crowd the mouth. This can cause teeth to overlap or become crowded, leading to discomfort.
Tooth extractions are common, outpatient procedures. Tooth extractions may be performed as standalone procedures or alongside other dental procedures.
At Houston Dentists at Post Oak, patient comfort is our priority. Tooth extractions and all our dental procedures include a local anesthetic and optional oral or I.V. sedation. Tooth extraction procedures are designed to be pain-free and relaxing for our patients.
Most patients can expect tooth extraction to heal fully within 1-2 weeks. Some patients may wish to consider dental implants, full or partial dentures, or dental bridges following a tooth extraction. Patients may continue to brush and floss during recovery; take care to avoid the extraction area. Soft foods and liquids for several days following surgery can reduce the impact on the extraction area.
Teeth extractions are typically ordered during a dental exam and often performed on the same day. Teeth may be extracted as preventative, restorative, or complementary dental procedures. The first step in finding out how tooth extraction can help your smile is to contact Houston Dentists at Post Oak for an exam.
