Request an Appointment
We always try to save a natural tooth first through treatments like fillings or root canals whenever possible, and an extraction is typically recommended only when a tooth is too damaged or diseased to restore. In some cases, extractions are also needed to relieve overcrowding, especially in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
If you’re missing a tooth after an extraction, we can talk through replacement options such as dental implants or dentures as part of your restorative dentistry plan.
Please follow our aftercare instructions closely and don’t hesitate to contact us at (321) 447-4444 if you have questions or concerns during your recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need a tooth extracted?
Extractions are typically needed due to severe decay, infection, damage, or overcrowding that can’t be resolved with other treatments.
Is a tooth extraction painful?
The area is numbed before the procedure, so most patients feel little to no pain during the extraction itself. Some soreness afterward is normal.
Is bleeding normal after an extraction?
Yes, a small amount of bleeding is normal as your mouth forms a blood clot to protect the area where the tooth root was removed.
Will you try to save my tooth before recommending an extraction?
Yes, we always consider treatments like fillings or root canals first, and only recommend extraction when the tooth can’t be saved.
What are my options if I need to replace an extracted tooth?
We can discuss options such as dental implants or dentures as part of a broader restorative dentistry plan.
How should I care for the area after an extraction?
Follow the aftercare instructions provided by our team, and contact us at (321) 447-4444 if you experience unusual pain, swelling, or prolonged bleeding.
