Tooth Extraction Process
Initial Consultation: The procedure starts with a thorough evaluation of your dental health. Our team will take X-rays to assess the affected tooth, surrounding bone and overall oral health. We will then discuss the best treatment approach and answer any questions you may have.
Preparation: Before the extraction, we will provide detailed pre-operative instructions. If sedation is planned, you may need to fast beforehand and arrange for transportation home after the procedure.
Extraction Procedure: On the day of your appointment, local anesthesia or sedation will be used to ensure your comfort. The dentist will gently remove the tooth using precise techniques to minimize discomfort and promote a smooth recovery.

It’s essential to follow all post-care recommendations, such as avoiding strenuous activity, eating soft foods and refraining from smoking. If you happen to experience any unusual symptoms or concerns, please schedule a follow-up appointment so our team can monitor your healing progress.
