Welcome to Dr. Michael K. Bassiri DDS, where your dental health is our top priority. Our compassionate team is here to guide you through the process of tooth extractions with care and expertise.
What Are Tooth Extractions?
Tooth extractions are dental procedures in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the bone. This may be necessary for various reasons, including:
- Severe tooth decay
- Infection
- Impacted teeth (especially wisdom teeth)
- Overcrowding
- Periodontal disease
At Dr. Michael K. Bassiri DDS, we understand that the idea of having a tooth extracted can be daunting. Our goal is to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
Why Might You Need a Tooth Extraction?
There are several reasons why a dentist may recommend a tooth extraction:
- Decay: When a tooth is too damaged by decay and cannot be restored.
- Infection: If the pulp of the tooth is infected and unable to heal, extraction may be necessary.
- Impaction: Wisdom teeth that do not have enough space to emerge can lead to pain and infection.
- Orthodontic Treatment: Sometimes, teeth may need to be removed to create space for proper alignment.
Each case is unique, and during your visit, we will discuss the best options for your specific situation.
The Extraction Process
At Dr. Michael K. Bassiri DDS, we prioritize your comfort during the extraction process. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation
During your initial consultation, we will evaluate your dental condition, discuss your medical history, and take necessary X-rays to determine the best course of action.
- Anesthesia
To ensure your comfort, we will administer a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth. If you feel anxious, we can also discuss sedation options.
- The Extraction
The actual extraction may involve simple or surgical procedures, depending on the tooth’s position and condition. Our experienced team will handle the procedure with precision and care.
- Post-Extraction Care
After the extraction, we will provide you with detailed care instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort. Common post-extraction care tips include:
- Resting for the first 24 hours
- Applying ice packs to reduce swelling
- Avoiding strenuous activities for a few days
- Following a soft food diet
