What Are Tooth Extractions?
Dr. Monika Kaceli prioritizes preserving your natural teeth whenever possible, but in some cases, a tooth extraction may be necessary. A simple extraction is performed to remove a tooth that is visible above the gums, often due to severe decay or damage that cannot be repaired. In contrast, a surgical extraction is used to remove a tooth that has not fully erupted, such as impacted wisdom teeth that lack enough space to emerge properly. At Kaceli Dental Studio in Norwood, MA, we provide compassionate care and use advanced sedation options, including nitrous oxide and oral-conscious sedation, to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Contact our team today to learn more or schedule a consultation with Dr. Kaceli.
What Happens During A Tooth Extraction Appointment?
Tooth extractions are performed at Kaceli Dental Studio using local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth being removed. Depending on the complexity of the procedure and any dental anxieties you may have, additional sedation options can be provided to help you stay comfortable. When you're ready, Dr. Kaceli will begin the process.
For a simple extraction, Dr. Kaceli uses a tool called an elevator to loosen the tooth before removing it. Surgical extractions involve creating small incisions in the gums to access the tooth. In some cases, the tooth may need to be broken into smaller pieces for easier removal. Once the tooth is pulled, the incision will be sutured if necessary.
If you have an existing infection, a compromised immune system, or other specific health concerns, Dr. Kaceli may prescribe antibiotics to be taken before and after the procedure. To ensure a smooth recovery, we will provide detailed tooth extraction aftercare instructions, including guidance on things to avoid, such as certain foods or strenuous activities.
What Are the Benefits of Tooth Extractions?
While some individuals in Norwood, MA may hesitate or delay having a tooth pulled, completing the procedure promptly at Kaceli Dental Studio offers several benefits for your oral health, such as:
- Helps prevent the spread of infection
- Makes space for implant options to restore the appearance and function of the missing tooth
- Protects healthy nearby teeth from potential damage or decay
- Uses local anesthesia to keep you as comfortable as possible
- A relatively quick procedure conveniently completed in our office
