Who Needs Dental Extraction?

Sometimes teeth just need to be removed. For example

Teeth that are blocking others from coming in
Extra teeth
Teeth to be removed for orthodontia
Impacted wisdom teeth (teeth not able to erupt fully)
Fractured teeth
Teeth that are too decayed to save by root canal therapy

The removal of a tooth by a dentist or surgeon (as opposed to a more casual method, such as a fist fight) is called a tooth extraction.

The easiest extraction requires only a local anesthetic and is accomplished by pulling out the tooth with an instrument called a dental forceps.

Sometimes, it is more difficult to extract a tooth, such as when it is not fully erupted. In those cases (not as common), full anesthesia, true surgery, and probably the services of an oral surgeon will be required.

Extraction After-Care

Your dentist or surgeon will give you tooth extraction after-care instructions that explain how to ensure full healing of the wound. To save yourself the pain and swelling that can result from an infected or inflamed wound, follow the instructions exactly as written.

Extremely happy with my Invisalign treatment. Every appointment is smoothly scheduled, and dott. Dorfman is a true and acute professional. I will keep using their services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Returned to Tribeca Dental after going to a different place and am so thankful I came back. They really have a personal touch and make a usually unpleasant experience, pleasant! Had a root canal and was made very comfortable throughout the process. Very happy that I returned and still see the same familiar faces!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They're super flexible with the appointment times, which is nice. The entrance is discreet, but inside is busy but organized. The front desk ppl are nice. You're not always seen by the same dentist, but that's OK. Invisalign (without any insurance) was very affordable, quick, and easy for me here.
