Tooth extractions are sometimes needed to preserve the health of your remaining teeth, to prevent overcrowding, or to address severe tooth decay or damage. While the idea of extracting a tooth can be alarming, it is crucial to prioritize your dental well-being and your long-term health. Don’t let the discomfort of the moment hold you back from peace of mind and confidence for a lifetime.

During the extraction procedure, our skilled dentist will numb the area around the tooth to make sure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. The tooth will then be gently removed, and appropriate aftercare instructions will be provided.

Proper post-extraction care is essential for a smooth recovery. This includes avoiding certain foods and drinks, keeping the extraction site clean, and following your dentist’s recommendations.

Common Concerns

  • Concern 1: Is the extraction procedure painful?
  • While the idea of an extraction can be unsettling, our team prioritizes your comfort. The procedure is performed with anesthesia to ensure you feel little to no pain during the extraction.
  • Concern 2: How long does the recovery process take?
  • The recovery time can vary depending on the complexity of the extraction. In general, most people can expect to resume their normal activities within a few days to a week.

Tooth extractions have a very important place in dental care and can provide great relief for many dental issues. If you have any pain or concerns with your teeth or jaw, call our office at (801) 212-9061 today for an in-person consultation and a treatment plan designed just for you!
