Gentle Extractions for a Healthier Smile!
Safe, swift, and stress-free—remove problematic teeth with expert care and start your journey to better oral health.
Extractions
Tooth extractions are performed to remove damaged, decayed, or problematic teeth that cannot be saved through restorative treatments. Common reasons for extractions include severe decay, advanced periodontal disease, overcrowding, or trauma. Removing a problematic tooth can relieve pain, improve oral health, and make way for necessary dental work, such as implants or orthodontics.
At West Cobb Dental Studio, we prioritize patient comfort and provide gentle care during extractions. Whether it’s a simple or surgical extraction, our team ensures a smooth and stress-free experience.
Process at West Cobb Dental Studio
During a simple extraction, the tooth is loosened using specialized instruments and carefully removed. Surgical extractions may require an incision in the gum or removal of bone to access the tooth. Local anesthesia is used to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Afterward, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing.
Is tooth extraction painful?
The procedure itself is pain-free due to anesthesia, but mild soreness afterward is common and manageable with medication.
How long does it take to heal after an extraction?
Healing typically takes 1-2 weeks, with the initial discomfort subsiding within a few days.
Can I eat after an extraction?
Stick to soft foods for the first 24-48 hours and avoid using a straw to prevent dry sockets.
What should I do if I have excessive bleeding?
Bite down on a gauze pad and apply gentle pressure. If bleeding persists, contact us immediately.
Do I need to replace an extracted tooth?
Replacing an extracted tooth with an implant, bridge, or denture is often recommended to maintain proper oral function and prevent shifting of surrounding teeth.
