Tooth Extractions
At Mission Dental, we prioritize preserving your natural teeth whenever possible. However, when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or causing crowding, a tooth extraction may be the best solution to protect your oral health. Our experienced team ensures a gentle and comfortable procedure with minimized discomfort and quick recovery.
What Are Tooth Extractions?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket when it can no longer be saved through restorative treatments. This procedure may be necessary due to severe decay, trauma, infection, or orthodontic needs. At Mission Dental, we perform both simple and surgical extractions with precision and care.
Reasons for a Tooth Extraction
Severe tooth decay or infection that cannot be treated with a filling or crown.
Advanced gum disease affecting tooth stability.
Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or misalignment.
Crowded teeth requiring removal for orthodontic treatment.
Broken or fractured teeth beyond repair.
How Does the Process Work?
Comprehensive Evaluation – We assess your tooth’s condition and discuss the best course of action.
Anesthesia & Comfort Care – A local anesthetic is used to numb the area, ensuring a painless procedure.
Tooth Removal – The tooth is carefully extracted with minimal impact on surrounding tissues.
Post-Extraction Care – We provide aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and comfort.
What to Expect After an Extraction?
After your extraction, you may experience mild discomfort or swelling, which can be managed with pain relievers and proper care. Our team will provide detailed aftercare guidelines to promote fast healing and prevent complications.
