Gentle & Comfortable Tooth Extractions
At Veda Family Dentistry, our primary goal is always to preserve your natural teeth. However, there are times when removing a tooth is the best or only option to protect your overall oral health. We understand that the idea of a tooth extraction can cause anxiety, which is why we have made it our mission to ensure the process is as gentle, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. Our compassionate team is here to provide expert care and support you every step of the way.
Why is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
While we do everything we can to save a tooth, an extraction may be recommended in several situations:
Severe Decay or Damage: When a tooth is too decayed or broken for a filling, crown, or root canal to be effective.
Advanced Gum Disease: If periodontitis has severely damaged the bone and tissues supporting a tooth, causing it to become very loose.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth: When third molars are trapped in the jawbone and are causing pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth.
Orthodontic Reasons: To create necessary space in a crowded mouth before beginning orthodontic treatment, such as braces.
To Prepare for Dentures: Removing failing teeth may be necessary before being fitted for a full or partial denture.
Types of Tooth Extractions
Simple Extraction: This is performed on a tooth that is fully visible in the mouth. After numbing the area, the dentist uses special instruments to loosen and remove the tooth gently.
Surgical Extraction: This is a more complex procedure required when a tooth has broken off at the gum line or has not fully erupted (like an impacted wisdom tooth). A small incision is made in the gum to access and remove the tooth.
The Extraction Process: Your Comfort is Our Priority
We are committed to making your experience a positive one.
Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a thorough exam and digital X-rays to assess the tooth and plan the extraction with precision.
Effective Anesthesia: We will completely numb the area around the tooth with a local anesthetic. You will feel some pressure during the procedure, but you should not feel any pain.
Gentle Removal: Dr. Priya or Dr. Moosavi will perform the extraction using gentle techniques to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissues.
Post-Operative Care & Instructions: After the procedure, we will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery. We will cover everything from managing discomfort and swelling to diet recommendations.
Replacing Your Tooth After Extraction
Losing a tooth doesn't have to mean living with a gap in your smile. For most extractions (excluding wisdom teeth), it's crucial to replace the missing tooth to prevent shifting teeth and bone loss. We will discuss your tooth replacement options with you before your procedure, which may include:
Dental Implants: The gold standard for replacing a single tooth.
Dental Bridges: A fixed option to "bridge" the gap.
Partial Dentures: A removable appliance to restore your smile.
The Veda Family Dentistry Advantage
A Gentle and Compassionate Approach: We understand that dental anxiety is a real concern. Dr. Devipriya Priya is renowned for her gentle touch and ability to create a calm, reassuring environment for even the most nervous patients.
Surgical Expertise and Precision: With extensive experience in both simple and complex extractions, Dr. Ehsan Moosavi ensures your procedure is performed safely, efficiently, and with the utmost precision.
A Focus on Patient Education: We take the time to explain why an extraction is necessary and what you can expect during and after the procedure, so you can feel informed and confident in your care.
Comprehensive Treatment Planning: We don't just remove a tooth; we plan for your future smile. We will proactively discuss your best options for tooth replacement to ensure your long-term oral health.
