Expert Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions may be required for various reasons, including severe decay, infection, crowding, or trauma. At Allegro Smiles, we perform safe, effective extractions using advanced techniques, always prioritizing your comfort and well-being.

Why You Might Need a Tooth Extraction

• Severe Decay: When a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a filling or crown, extraction can prevent further complications.
• Infection: If an infection cannot be treated with root canal therapy or antibiotics, extraction may be necessary to protect your oral health.
• Crowding: Teeth may need to be removed to create space for orthodontic treatments and achieve proper alignment.
• Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are unable to fully emerge can cause pain, infection, or damage to other teeth.
• Orthodontic Treatment: Sometimes extractions are part of a comprehensive plan to optimize alignment and function.

The Tooth Extraction Process

• Consultation: We’ll evaluate your oral health, discuss the reasons for extraction, and address any concerns you have.
• Procedure: Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and the tooth is carefully removed with minimal discomfort.
• Aftercare: Detailed instructions will be provided to ensure proper healing and prevent complications like dry socket.

Post-Extraction Care

• Control Bleeding: Gently bite on gauze to manage bleeding.
• Manage Pain: Take prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers as recommended.
• Promote Healing: Avoid smoking, using straws, or rinsing vigorously to protect the site.
• Follow-Up: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor recovery.
