Tooth extractions are commonly performed in-office and can help with pain relief, prevent infections from spreading, and open room for orthodontic procedures. In cases when a tooth cannot be saved any other way, an extraction will be recommended. At One Fine Smile, we can complete your tooth extraction in Oak Park quickly and painlessly.
A tooth extraction involves removing one or more teeth from the socket that have become decayed, infected, or are otherwise a problem for your dental health and hygiene. For example, a person might have a wisdom tooth extracted that isn’t necessarily causing them problems but could become an issue in the future. Extractions are done when there is nothing else that can be done to save a tooth, or when the extraction will help to retain oral health and hygiene.
There are several reasons why a tooth might be extracted. Some of these reasons include:
The extraction procedure is done quickly and in a comfortable manner. We here at One Fine Smile will ensure that you are receiving your extraction at your own convenience and in a way that is pain-free and comfortable. The first thing we will do is take an x-ray of the tooth that needs to be removed. Once the dentist is satisfied with the x-rays, the area of extraction will be given an anesthetic and the procedure will begin. There are two types of extractions that can occur. The two extractions are Simple and Surgical.
After the procedure, you will go home with specific aftercare instructions that must be followed to ensure the area heals properly.
