What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction refers to the complete removal of the tooth, including the root. Although a tooth extraction may seem frightening, it is a common dental procedure performed when other dental treatments have failed or are not viable.

Our dentists have performed teeth and wisdom teeth extractions for years and only utilize the most successful and safest techniques. Our seasoned dentists will do everything possible to try to save your existing natural teeth. When you do need a tooth removed, our New York tooth extraction services are effective and gentle.

Types of Tooth Extractions

There are two types of tooth extractions we perform at our practice. Our dentists can perform the following types of extractions:

Simple Extractions: These extractions do not involve surgical incisions, and the tooth is extracted directly. Our dentist will administer a local numbing agent to maximize comfort, and any infected tissues will be removed after the tooth is extracted.
Surgical Extractions: These types of extractions are performed when the tooth has already broken the gum line or is dislodged. A small incision in the tooth's gum line allows it to be safely extracted.

Reasons for a Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is a procedure that dentists recommend for many reasons. Some common situations that may necessitate tooth extraction are:

Tooth Decay: Your teeth may be damaged by oral bacteria, eroding the enamel. When decay reaches the inner tooth, it can infect the pulp, causing pain and putting oral health at risk. If the infection is too severe or treatment fails, an extraction will remove the decay and protect the rest of your smile.
Damaged Teeth: Teeth may be damaged because of dental trauma or an accident. Our dentists will use different options to restore the damaged teeth and save your natural teeth. However, if the tooth is too damaged to save, we will perform an extraction.
An Abscessed Tooth: An infected pulp can lead to an abscess or infection at the root or tip of the tooth. If the abscess is not treated, you may need tooth extraction services.
Wisdom Teeth Removal: Although some people have adequate space to accommodate the third set of molars, others will need wisdom teeth extractions for spacing issues. An extraction may also be necessary when the tooth is impacted or pressing against neighboring teeth.
Misaligned or Crowded Teeth: Crowded teeth can cause broken teeth, pain, jawbone damage, and gum disease. Furthermore, some teeth may become hard to reach during brushing and flossing and become breeding grounds for oral bacteria. Tooth extraction and braces can help to treat crowded or misaligned teeth.

Is the Tooth Extraction Process Painful?

Our dentists will do everything possible to make your tooth extraction process as comfortable as possible. You may feel some pressure, but the experience will be similar to receiving a crown or filling. If your tooth has been causing you pain, an extraction will provide you with relief.

Can I Eat After a Tooth Extraction?

For the initial 24 hours after the extraction, our dentists recommend that you stick to soft foods and liquids. You should also avoid hot drinks and food. You'll gradually be able to resume a normal diet. Be sure to avoid chewing or biting around the affected area, and do not brush it directly.

How Much Does a Tooth Extraction cost?

Our dentists will evaluate your oral health to determine how many teeth need extracting and whether there are any complications.

Most dental insurances will fully or partially cover your tooth extraction, and it's best to check with your insurance service provider beforehand.How Can Extracted Teeth Be Replaced?

After tooth extraction, filling the space left in the jaw and gum with a dental prosthesis is crucial. A dental restoration will restore bite function and prevent nearby teeth from shifting. Our dentists can schedule a follow-up procedure where you can choose between dental implants, a bridge, or dentures to fill the space left by the extracted tooth or teeth.
