Do I Need a Dental Extraction?
Patients may need a dental extraction for a tooth that has become too damaged to be saved, due to conditions like an oral injury, a cracked tooth, or an oral infection. Dr. McKenney may also perform a dental extraction if the teeth become too crowded, or to help patients prepare for an orthodontic procedure.
How Does Tooth Removal Surgery Work?
When performing a simple extraction, your dentist will gently rock the tooth back and forth using a tool called an elevator. When the tooth becomes loose enough, the dentist will gently extract it. Following the extraction, a blood clot will form in the socket. Your team at Prickly Pear Family Dental will provide you with detailed instructions about how to keep the extraction site and blood clot safe, so your mouth can properly heal from the procedure.
If needed, Dr. McKenney will also talk with you about your options about replacing the missing tooth. Tooth replacement options at our Prescott dental office include dental bridges, partial dentures, and permanent dental implants!
Do My Wisdom Teeth Need To Be Pulled Out?
Our dentist may also perform a dental extraction surgery when the third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, need to be removed. For many patients, the wisdom teeth usually start causing problems in the mid-to-late teen years or the early twenties. When wisdom teeth erupt - or attempt to erupt - you or your teen could experience pain or swelling in the very back of the mouth.
Prickly Pear Family Dental uses the latest dental imaging technologies to determine if wisdom tooth removal is right for you or your teen. We treat a range of complex cases at our Prescott dental office, including the removal of impacted wisdom teeth.
