Tooth Extractions
Our Approach to Dental Extraction
In most cases, teeth can be preserved with routine treatments or procedures. However, there are situations where a tooth is beyond repair and requires extraction. At S&C Dental Scottsdale Ranch, our goal is to make the tooth removal process as smooth and stress-free as possible when extraction is necessary.
Tooth extractions are performed to relieve pain and protect the surrounding teeth and gums from damage caused by decay, infection, or disease. We prioritize strict safety protocols and patient comfort, ensuring a seamless experience. While removing a tooth is always a last resort, it doesn’t have to be painful. Our team is dedicated to gentle, efficient care, helping you heal quickly and get back to your daily life with ease.
Think You Need a Tooth Extraction?
Having a tooth extracted can feel intimidating, but delaying treatment often leads to more complications. If you’re considering an extraction, chances are you’ve already been dealing with discomfort or a problematic tooth for some time. We encourage you to schedule a consultation with us so we can assess the situation and perform a clean, professional extraction if necessary. Our expert team is here to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience while prioritizing your comfort and oral health.
The Process of Tooth Extraction
Before proceeding with a tooth extraction, we conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to ensure the procedure can be safely performed without affecting surrounding teeth or tissue. Our evaluation also considers the impact of tooth removal on your overall dental health. While extracting a back tooth is often less disruptive than removing a front or strategically important tooth, we will provide personalized guidance based on your specific case. If multiple teeth need to be removed, we also offer comprehensive solutions to restore your smile.
The Extraction Process
During the procedure, a local anesthetic is used to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free experience. In most cases, a small incision is made in the gum line to allow for a clean extraction while minimizing damage to the surrounding tissue. While patients typically do not feel pain during the procedure, they may experience some pressure as the tooth is removed.
Post-Procedure Care
After the extraction, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions to keep the area clean, prevent infection, and manage any discomfort. We’ll also guide you through dietary restrictions and oral hygiene practices to promote healing, helping you return to normal as quickly as possible.
