Tooth Extractions

Understanding Tooth Extraction
Compassionate Care for Your Oral Health
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It’s a process that can alleviate pain, prevent the spread of infection, and maintain the health of your mouth. At Heber Valley Dental, we perform tooth extractions, including wisdom teeth removal, with a focus on patient comfort and well-being.
When Do You Need a Tooth Extraction?
There are several conditions that may necessitate a tooth extraction, such as:
- Severe Decay: When a tooth is too damaged to be saved by a filling or crown.
- Infection: To prevent the spread of infection to other parts of the mouth.
- Wisdom Teeth Complications: When these teeth are impacted, misaligned, or causing crowding.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop. Sometimes they emerge from the gum line and the jaw is large enough to allow room for them, but more often, they fail to emerge and become impacted. When this happens, extraction becomes necessary to preserve the health of the surrounding teeth and gums.
- Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, providing a permanent solution to tooth loss.
- Convenience: Implants are maintained just like natural teeth, with no need for removal.
- Health: They support jawbone health, prevent bone loss, and don't strain neighboring teeth.
Gentle and Safe Extractions
At Heber Valley Dental, we prioritize your comfort and safety during the extraction process. Here’s what to expect:
- Pre-Procedure Consultation: A thorough examination and discussion of your specific needs.
- Sedation Options: To ensure a pain-free and anxiety-free experience.
- Aftercare Guidance: Detailed instructions to promote healing and prevent complications.
