Extractions
At Renew Dental Studio, we sometimes perform necessary tooth extractions with utmost care and advanced pain-minimizing techniques, followed by offering replacement options like implants, bridges, or dentures to maintain bite integrity and aesthetics, ensuring a stress-free process and optimal long-term oral health.
Our Process
Consultation: The process starts with a thorough examination of the tooth in question, including X-rays, to determine the best course of action for extraction.
Anesthesia: To ensure comfort, local anesthesia is administered around the area of the tooth to be extracted, numbing it and the surrounding tissues.
Loosening and Removal: The dentist uses specialized instruments to gently rock the tooth back and forth until it is loose enough to be completely removed from the socket.
Additional Techniques: If the tooth is impacted or difficult to remove, the dentist may perform a more complex procedure, which could involve removing gum tissue or bone.
Bleeding Management: After the tooth is removed, a gauze pad is placed over the socket to help control bleeding and to encourage a blood clot to form.
Instructions for Home Care: The dentist provides detailed instructions on how to care for the extraction site, including oral hygiene practices, foods to avoid, and how to manage pain and swelling.
Healing Process: It typically takes a few days to recover from a tooth extraction. The dentist may prescribe painkillers and recommend cold compresses for any swelling.
Follow-Up Appointment: A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to ensure proper healing and to discuss any further treatment if necessary, such as a dental implant or bridge.
