Relieve Pain & Prevent Future Complications

Tooth removal can provide relief from severe pain caused by decay, infection, or trauma. Removing a damaged or infected tooth prevents the issue from spreading to neighboring teeth or affecting your overall health.

Additionally, extracting problematic wisdom teeth can protect your smile's alignment and prevent overcrowding.

At Westlake Family Dentistry, we prioritize your comfort and well-being. Your dentist uses advanced techniques to minimize discomfort and speed up recovery.

Our compassionate team explains every step of the extraction process, ensuring you feel informed and supported throughout your appointment.

You'll find restorative options, including dental implants and bridges, to complete your smile after extraction.

Our practice provides a comfortable environment with amenities like pillows, blankets, and noise-canceling headphones, as well as sedation options to help you feel relaxed and at ease during your extraction.

I’m such a baby about any dental work, but my phobia is gone thanks to Dr Sievert and his caring staff. Even complicated procedures are painless. His hygienists are thorough but gentle. And Tracy and Susan run the office really well and make it a pleasure to walk in. Oh, and my teeth look great!

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Removal

When is tooth removal necessary?

Tooth removal is typically recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged beyond repair, or causing pain due to infection. It may also be necessary to create space for orthodontic treatment or to prepare for dental implants. Our team carefully evaluates your oral health and explores all possible treatment options before recommending removal to ensure the best outcome for your smile.

How long does it take to recover from tooth removal?

Recovery times vary depending on the complexity of the extraction and your body's healing process. Most patients experience mild discomfort and swelling for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs. It typically takes about one to two weeks for the gum tissue to heal completely. We provide personalized aftercare instructions to support a smooth and comfortable recovery.

Can I replace a tooth after it’s removed?

Yes! We offer several restorative options to replace missing teeth after extraction, including dental implants, bridges, and partial dentures. Replacing a missing tooth helps maintain your bite alignment, prevents neighboring teeth from shifting, and preserves your jawbone health. During your consultation, we'll discuss the best replacement option for your needs and lifestyle.
