Your Burlington Tooth Extraction Team

Tooth Extraction

At Dental Health Group, our primary goal is to preserve your natural teeth. However, situations may arise where tooth extraction becomes necessary to prevent further complications and ensure your dental well-being. Our general dentists, backed by in-house specialists like a periodontist and endodontist, have extensive experience performing tooth removal procedures.

We understand the prospect of having a tooth extracted can be intimidating. That's why we've committed ourselves to creating a nurturing environment to help you feel supported and at ease throughout the process. We also offer various sedation options that can help make the process feel more manageable. Contact us today to schedule your tooth extraction in Burlington.

Recognizing When Tooth Extraction Is Necessary

We take a conservative approach towards dental care, always exploring restorative treatments, like root canal therapy and dental crowns, before considering extraction. Our objective is to lay a groundwork to move forward with rehabilitating your oral health. Should we determine an extraction is the best course of action, we'll meticulously plan your treatment to remove the tooth and to replace it if needed.

Some common reasons for tooth extractions include:

  • Dental injuries or trauma
  • Advanced tooth infection
  • Teeth loosened by gum disease
  • Dental overcrowding

Postponing necessary dental treatments, including extractions, can lead to more severe health complications. For example, an untreated tooth that's severely decayed or damaged can lead to infections, potentially impacting your overall health.

Our Burlington Tooth Extraction Process

During your extraction appointment, we employ techniques designed to be as noninvasive as possible. Our careful approach strives to help preserve the health of your jawbone and the integrity of adjacent teeth. We also aim to make the extraction process as efficient and comfortable as possible.

We'll begin by administering the necessary levels of sedation for your procedure. We offer a wide range of options for sedation and can work with you to find a level that fits both your personal needs and the requirements of your procedure. Our general dentists often work alongside our in-house specialists for more complex cases.

Our tooth extraction team then uses specialized tools and techniques to access and remove your tooth. After removal, we'll provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to promote a smooth recovery. We may also schedule follow-up visits to check on how you're healing or to discuss the next steps for your restorative services.

Restoring Your Smile After Extraction

Leaving a position vacant in your smile after an extraction can lead to negative impacts on your oral health. That's why we provide a range of restorative solutions tailored to promote your oral health for years to come. From bridges and implant-supported crowns to dentures, our team is ready to rejuvenate your smile. We also offer extensive cosmetic enhancements to complement these restorative treatments, helping you achieve a smile you're proud to show off.

Burlington Tooth Removal FAQs

Deciding to have a tooth extracted is a significant decision, and we're dedicated to ensuring you have all the necessary information to make educated dental health choices. Our team is always ready to address any questions or concerns you may have, providing detailed explanations and support throughout the process. Our dentists take the time to thoroughly explain each step before moving forward. Some commonly asked questions we receive include:

Do I need to plan for missing work after tooth removal?

The time you take off from work after an extraction depends on factors like the complexity of your extraction, how many teeth you have extracted, and what you do for work. Our dentist can discuss how many days off they might recommend for your recovery time.

We strongly advise against smoking following a tooth extraction, as it can significantly hinder the healing process and increase the risk of complications.

Dry socket is a condition that can occur after tooth extractions if the blood clot that forms in the socket becomes dislodged or dissolves. We'll give you instructions on how to avoid this issue, but things to watch out for include the use of straws or vigorous rinsing and spitting in the days following your procedure. It's important to contact us right away if you believe you have developed dry socket.
