Palmer Family Dental provides compassionate and personalized care. We consider all options before performing tooth extractions. Our top priority is to keep your natural teeth as long as possible because they are so important for your oral health and overall well-being. When extractions are required, rest assured that our skilled team will keep you comfortable and safe throughout the process. We understand that the decision to have a tooth extracted can be difficult, so we take the time to thoroughly discuss the reasons for the extraction and address any concerns you may have. Our goal is to guide you through the entire process, from initial evaluation to post-extraction care. This way, you feel informed and supported at all times.
Getting a tooth taken out can be a simple or a more complicated process. For simple extractions, which are usually done on teeth that have fully come out, your dentist will first numb the area with some medicine. Then, they’ll use tools to lift the tooth and cut the stuff holding it in place. After that, they’ll gently pull the tooth out with special pliers.
When a tooth is hard to reach or still under the gum, like wisdom teeth, will require a surgical extraction. In this case, your dentist might have to make a small cut in your gum and use a drill to take out some bone around the tooth. Sometimes, they might even need to break the tooth into smaller pieces to get it out completely.
Facing the possibility of a tooth extraction might feel overwhelming, but at Palmer Family Dental, we’re here to help ease your worries. Our skilled team is here to create customized treatment plans just for you and ensure you feel comfortable every step of the way.
