Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions are performed when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be saved through restorative treatments. They may also be necessary for other reasons, such as preparing for orthodontic treatment or addressing impacted wisdom teeth. At Russo Family Dentistry & Aesthetics, our dentists carefully evaluate each patient’s situation to determine the most appropriate course of action, always prioritizing your long-term oral health and comfort.

• Severe Decay or Damage: When a tooth cannot be repaired with a filling or crown.
• Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Prevents future issues and overcrowding.
• Orthodontic Preparation: Creates space for properly aligning teeth.
• Periodontal Disease: Advanced gum disease that affects tooth stability.
• Infection: Tooth extraction may be needed to prevent the spread of infection to other areas.

We strive to make the tooth extraction process as comfortable as possible for our patients. Here’s what you can expect during your visit to Russo Family Dentistry & Aesthetics:

1. Consultation and Examination: Your dentist will perform a comprehensive examination, often using digital X-rays, to evaluate the tooth and surrounding areas.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan: We’ll discuss your options, answer any questions, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
3. Comfortable Procedure: Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free extraction. For more complex cases, additional sedation options may be discussed.
4. Extraction Process: Our experienced team uses advanced techniques and modern tools to remove the tooth efficiently and with minimal discomfort.
5. Post-Procedure Care: Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications.
