Why May I Need an Extraction?
The Tooth Extraction Process
Initial Consultation and Planning
The first step in the tooth extraction process involves a thorough examination and consultation. Our periodontists will review your dental and medical history, take necessary X-rays, and evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums. This step is crucial for planning the extraction procedure, as it helps us understand the complexity of the case, including the tooth's position and the condition of surrounding bone and tissues. We also discuss anesthesia options to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
The Extraction Procedure
On the day of the extraction, we ensure you are comfortable and prepared. Depending on your case and preference, we administer local anesthesia or sedation to ensure a pain-free experience. Our skilled periodontists then gently remove the tooth, taking care to minimize the impact on surrounding tissues. Our team employs precision techniques and state-of-the-art tools to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Post-Extraction Care and Recovery
After the extraction, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery. This includes tips on managing discomfort, preventing infection, and promoting healing. We may recommend soft foods, provide guidelines on oral hygiene practices, and suggest ice packs to reduce swelling. Follow-up appointments are also scheduled to monitor your healing and discuss any further treatment or restoration plans as needed.

The whole process exceeded every expectation that I had. The moment I came out of anesthesia, one of the girls handed me a mirror, and I opened my eyes, and I saw this mouthful of beautiful teeth.
I had a lot of problems with teeth throughout my life. I was afraid to go out because I really couldn't talk right. And then, I was recommended to Dr. John. Dr. John was a savior to me.
