Don't Live With Painful Teeth
If you have severe tooth pain, blood clot, damaged or infected teeth, or are interested in implant supported dentures, we may have to perform a tooth extraction for one or more teeth. At the Cape Cod Dental Group , we offer gentle tooth extractions when absolutely necessary. Our team in Chatham and Orleans always does everything possible to save your natural teeth, but if infection or damage is too severe, tooth extractions are often the best solution to achieving a healthy mouth. Dr. Jenny Chang is trained in both traditional tooth extraction and advanced wisdom teeth extraction in order to get you into the most ideal oral health state. After you have your wisdom teeth extracted, we recommend replacing it with a dental implant in the extraction site, which mimics both the esthetic look and natural function of real teeth after having an extracted tooth. Our team excels at accurate placement and restoration of dental implants to give you back a fully complete smile and extraordinary dental health after tooth extraction.
The process for extracting teeth is very simple. You are provided a local anesthetic to block sensations of pain or discomfort, but for those with severe anxiety can receive oral or nitrous oxide sedation to help keep them calm. Once you are adequately numb, we will gently extract the tooth from the jaw. Most of our patients report only feeling a slight pressure during their tooth extraction. Dr. Chang is careful to extract your teeth without harming any of the supporting or surrounding structures of your jaw to prevent dry socket. Once your tooth is extracted, we often provide bone grafting to fill in the empty socket where your tooth once was. This allows your jaw to heal to a healthy level that is suitable for supporting a dental implant after the healing process.
Common Reasons For A Tooth Extraction
- Infection - tooth infection not treated by a timely root canal may kill the tooth inside and out
- Dental Implants - Severely decayed, failing, or damaged teeth will need to be extracted before placing implants
- Orthodontics - some teeth may need extraction to make space for alignment of poorly positioned teeth with braces
- Gum Disease - gum disease can damage gums and bone to the point of tooth failure causing bad breath for many.
- Wisdom Teeth - extra teeth that grow into the jaw and often do not have proper space
Advanced
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth are extra molars that begin to develop in the back of the mouth during the late teenage years of most people. For most patients, their mouth does not have enough space to support these extra teeth, causing them to come in impacted or at an improper angle. Impacted teeth can cause many problems to development, such as tooth crowding, infection, damage to the surrounding teeth and overall jaw pain. Extracting wisdom teeth is an advanced surgery that often requires patients to be under IV sedation as Dr. Chang removes these teeth from the jaw bone. Once wisdom teeth are extracted, patients often feel relief from discomfort and can enjoy a healthy mouth once again. Patients should eat only soft foods avoiding the extraction area when eating. Alcoholic beverages are not recommended after tooth extractions.
