What Are Surgical Dental Extractions?
Dealing with a painful or problematic tooth can feel overwhelming, but Kaceli Dental Studio offers a specialized solution to remove teeth that can't be treated with a standard procedure. Surgical dental extractions may be recommended for teeth that are broken or impacted (trapped under the gums). This procedure is also used for wisdom teeth that don't emerge properly or cause crowding. Unlike a basic extraction, this procedure involves making an incision in the gum to access the tooth. In some cases, the tooth may be removed in sections to minimize impact on the surrounding area. Removing a problematic tooth can prevent infections, pain, or more serious dental complications. If you suspect you need this type of care, contact our team in Norwood, MA to schedule a consultation today and learn more about your options.
How Are Surgical Dental Extractions Performed?
After diagnosing the problem tooth or teeth with advanced imaging, such as digital x-rays, local anesthesia will be used to numb the area, ensuring you're comfortable. Depending on the complexity of the extraction, sedation may also be offered for relaxation. During the procedure, the dentist will make a small incision in the gum to expose the tooth. Sometimes, the tooth is divided into sections to make it easier to remove. After the tooth is extracted, the area is cleaned, and sutures may be placed to aid healing. The healing period for a surgical extraction typically lasts one to two weeks. Following your dentist’s aftercare instructions is essential to support proper recovery.
What Are the Benefits of a Surgical Dental Extraction?
Surgical dental extractions offer many advantages for your oral health. While the idea of surgery may feel daunting, this procedure can resolve painful issues and prevent further problems. Here's how this procedure can make a difference for you:
- Relief from pain caused by infection or damaged teeth
- Prevention of infections that can spread to other areas of your mouth
- Protection of surrounding teeth, reducing the risk of misalignment or decay
- Improved oral health through the removal of problematic teeth
- Better long-term dental outcomes
