Tooth Extractions

At Perfect A Smile Dental Group, we always prioritize the health and preservation of your natural teeth. However, there are instances where tooth extraction is necessary to maintain or improve your overall oral health. Our Chagrin Falls dental team ensures that if an extraction is required, the procedure is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Why Tooth Extraction May Be Necessary

While the idea of tooth removal may seem daunting, it can sometimes be the best option for relieving pain and preventing further oral health issues.

Reasons for tooth extraction include:

  • Severe tooth decay or infection that cannot be resolved with root canal therapy.
  • Advanced periodontal disease leading to tooth instability.
  • Overcrowding, often in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
  • Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain, infection, or other dental problems.

FAQS ABOUT TOOTH EXTRACTIONS

Tooth extraction is needed when a tooth is severely damaged by decay, infection, or trauma and cannot be saved with other treatments. It's also performed for overcrowding, impacted wisdom teeth, or before orthodontic treatment.
The procedure itself is painless due to local anesthesia, though you may feel pressure during the extraction. Post-operative discomfort is normal and can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medications.
Initial healing typically takes 1-2 weeks, while complete bone and tissue healing can take several months. Most people can return to normal activities within 2-3 days with proper care.
Follow your dentist's post-operative instructions, which include biting on gauze to control bleeding, avoiding straws and smoking, eating soft foods, and keeping the extraction site clean. Rest and avoid strenuous activity for the first 24-48 hours.
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot at the extraction site becomes dislodged, exposing the bone and causing severe pain. Prevent it by avoiding smoking, using straws, and following all post-extraction care instructions.
Yes, replacing extracted teeth (except wisdom teeth) is usually recommended to prevent adjacent teeth from shifting and maintain proper bite function. Options include dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures.
