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.
