Tooth Extraction & Wisdom Tooth Removal

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure involving the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. At Madison Avenue Oral Surgery & Implant Center, we offer tooth removal in NYC to help patients alleviate discomfort caused by broken, decayed, or damaged teeth, as well as the emergence of wisdom teeth.

Tooth removal is only performed when completely necessary to benefit one’s oral health. In cases of overcrowding, tooth removal may be recommended to help maintain the alignment of the teeth, preventing issues like overcrowding and difficult to maintain oral hygiene. Tooth extraction may be needed to correct overcrowding, impacted wisdom teeth, or to place dental restorations, such as dental implants. Our New York City oral surgeon will discuss the best treatment plan following tooth extraction to ensure you maintain a healthy and beautiful smile. The extraction process is usually performed under local or general anesthesia to minimize discomfort, although sedation options may be available for anxious patients. Following the tooth extraction, patients are advised on post-operative care to promote healing and prevent complications such as infection.

Our oral surgeon uses specialized instruments to gently loosen the tooth before carefully extracting it from the socket. While tooth extraction can remove damaged or decayed teeth, it is recommended that patients replace any removed teeth with dental implants to maintain the jawbone density and health of the smile. Our NYC oral surgeon will discuss the best methods of restoration following teeth extraction at our New York City office.

Tooth Extraction

While saving as many teeth as possible is always our goal at Madison Avenue Oral Surgery & Implant Center, it isn’t always possible. Sometimes, the removal of a tooth can improve overall oral health and alleviate a wide range of issues for patients. Patients may need to remove a tooth if they are experiencing pain, discomfort, or difficulty when eating or talking. Tooth extractions are one of the most frequent oral surgeries performed today.

A tooth may need to be removed for various reasons, each related to preserving overall oral health and preventing potential complications. One common reason is severe decay. When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be salvaged through procedures like fillings or crowns, extraction becomes necessary to prevent the spread of decay to surrounding teeth and tissues. Similarly, advanced gum disease can lead to the weakening of tooth-supporting structures, requiring extraction to maintain oral health. Tooth extraction can be completed for orthodontic treatments, such as addressing overcrowding for braces. Undergoing tooth extraction creates a healthy foundation for dental restoration options in particular, dental implants, implant supported dentures, and implant bridges. During a consultation with Dr. Datson and our oral surgery team, we can decide if you are a candidate for tooth extraction and discuss tooth replacement options if necessary.

EXTRACTION

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom tooth removal, otherwise known as third molar extraction, is a surgical procedure performed to remove one or more wisdom teeth located at the back of the mouth. These teeth often erupt improperly due to lack of space in the jaw, leading to various complications. In some cases, wisdom teeth may become trapped under the gumline when erupting causing impacted wisdom teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth can risk nerve and jaw damage occurring.

Wisdom teeth extraction is a routine procedure performed to prevent dental complications and to help promote good oral health. Wisdom teeth frequently cause issues that get worse with time, which is why doctors recommend removing wisdom teeth earlier in life. Wisdom teeth can cause jaw and facial pain or tenderness and swelling at the back corners of the mouth. Sometimes patients opt to remove wisdom teeth before they emerge as a preventative measure. Patients may also opt for early removal because as you get older, recovery time increases and removal can be more difficult.

Wisdom tooth removal offers several benefits for oral health. It prevents against impaction, which can cause pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth and surrounding tissues. By removing impacted wisdom teeth, the risk of cysts, tumors, and gum disease is minimized. Additionally, wisdom tooth removal can alleviate overcrowding in the mouth, reducing the likelihood of orthodontic problems and facilitating proper dental alignment. Wisdom tooth removal in New York City can be performed in one visit at Madison Avenue Oral Surgery & Implant Center. Click the button below to learn more about wisdom tooth removal in NYC.
