TOOTH REMOVAL
Tooth removal, or extraction, is a procedure to remove damaged, decayed, or problematic teeth from the jawbone. Tooth removal is only performed when deemed necessary for the patient’s oral health. This is when other restorative methods like dental fillings or crowns aren’t enough and there is severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or trauma. By removing unhealthy teeth, patients can prevent the misalignment of surrounding teeth or make room for orthodontic treatments. Our oral surgeon at Madison Avenue Oral Surgery & Implant Center extracts the tooth with minimal discomfort, gently loosening the tooth before removal from the socket.
Tooth removal helps patients create a healthy foundation for long-lasting, natural looking dental solutions. Tooth removal aftercare involves managing pain and swelling but, patients can typically resume everyday activities within 2-3 days. After tooth removal patients will receive options for tooth replacements like implants or bridges if needed for restoration of function and aesthetics.
