Tooth Removal Surgery

Proper oral hygiene and visiting the dentist regularly are the most important steps to maintaining a healthy smile. When teeth are decayed, damaged, or broken, patients may experience pain and discomfort, as well as difficulty performing daily tasks such as eating, talking, and smiling. While our goal at Madison Avenue Oral Surgery & Implant Center is to maintain the look and function of the teeth, extracting teeth may be deemed necessary to increase overall oral health. When tooth extraction is deemed necessary, our oral surgeon can perform removal and replacement for a healthy smile.

What Is Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the bone. During tooth extraction, the entirety of the tooth is removed surgically. Tooth decay, advanced gum disease, an infected tooth, overcrowding, or damage from trauma or an accident are all reasons a tooth may need to be removed. Tooth extraction in NYC is one of the most commonly performed oral surgery procedures. After a tooth or teeth have been removed, our oral surgery team may suggest bone grafting or tooth restoration procedures, such as dental implants, to further promote good oral health.

How Does Tooth
Extraction Work?

Tooth extraction works by pinpointing and removing teeth that are causing patients to experience oral health concerns. For example, patients with severe dental overcrowding may experience tooth pain and a misaligned smile. Another cause for tooth extraction is tooth decay or a tooth infection. Our oral surgery team will only suggest tooth extraction as a last resort if there is no other treatment option available. Tooth extraction may also be recommended for patients who are about to receive braces and require additional space in their smile for their teeth to shift.

Extraction of a troublesome tooth or teeth can help to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by decay, infection, or trauma. Removing a decayed tooth can also help to prevent against the spread of infection, protecting the health of the surrounding teeth and gums. Tooth extraction works by carefully removing teeth that are causing complications, which can allow patients to become candidates for dental implant surgery in the future.

What Are The Benefits Of
Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction in NYC can prevent the spread of infection in the mouth, which often leads to gum disease. Gum disease, when left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and other serious health concerns. When patients opt to have an infected tooth removed, our oral surgeons can stop the spread of infection to other parts of the mouth, the gums, and even other parts of the body in certain cases.

Removing unhealthy teeth can prevent the misalignment of other surrounding teeth. By removing the damaged tooth, patients can maintain the current positioning of their teeth, allowing them to have a healthy smile for years to come. In other situations, teeth may be extracted to make room for the teeth to move. This is often sought-out by patients who are seeking orthodontic treatments.

Tooth extraction in NYC also allows for the placement of dental implants. By removing the tooth in office, our team can fill the gap left in the jawbone to promote proper jawbone density that will later hold a dental implant in place. Dental implants offer a permanent solution to missing teeth. Known for their durability and natural-appearance, dental implants look, feel, and function like real teeth. Tooth extraction creates space for the future placement of dental implants.

Who Is The Ideal Candidate
For Tooth Extraction?

The ideal candidate for tooth extraction in NYC is struggling from broken, decayed, damaged, or infected teeth. When teeth become unhealthy, they can cause pain, discomfort, difficulty eating or talking, and more. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, tooth removal may be right for you. Additionally, tooth extraction can be used to make more room in the mouth for orthodontic treatments, such as braces. During your consultation at Madison Avenue Oral Surgery & Implant Center, our oral surgery team will review your scans and dental history to determine if you are a candidate for tooth removal.

What Should I Expect
During Tooth Extraction?

Before the tooth extraction procedure begins, patients will undergo an oral examination to determine which teeth need to be removed. The specifics of each tooth extraction will vary depending on how many teeth need to be removed, where they are in the mouth, as well as the best approach to removing the tooth or teeth. In many cases, a simple extraction method will be utilized.

A simple tooth extraction uses local anesthetic to numb the area. Then, the tooth is gently dislodged and extracted with forceps. In more complex situations, an incision will be made in the gumline. From this incision, the tooth can be removed. During your consultation for tooth removal, our team will advise you as to which method may work best for your needs.

The recovery period will depend on the method utilized to remove the tooth. Following tooth extraction, patients may experience mild swelling or irritation.
