Tooth Extractions
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This treatment may be necessary when a tooth is irreparably damaged due to decay, disease, or trauma or when it poses a risk for future oral health complications, such as impacted wisdom teeth or anticipated orthodontic treatment.

What is a tooth extraction, and why is it necessary?
A tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is removed from its socket in the bone. This may be necessary if a tooth is too damaged to be repaired by other means, such as a filling or crown, or if it poses a risk of infection or damage to surrounding teeth. Extraction is also common in cases where teeth are crowded, and removing one or more teeth can help align the remaining teeth properly.
Many people worry about pain or complications during a tooth extraction. At Smile Studio Dental, we use advanced sedation options to minimize discomfort and ensure a stress-free experience.

What should I expect during a tooth extraction procedure?
During the procedure, the area around the affected tooth will be numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure you don’t feel pain. The dentist will then carefully remove the tooth using specialized tools. If the tooth is impacted (stuck below the gum line), a small incision may be needed to access it. The procedure is generally quick, and you’ll receive detailed instructions on how to care for the extraction site after the procedure.
The fear of pain is common, but rest assured, our team prioritizes your comfort. We’ll walk you through the entire process, so you know exactly what to expect.
Key Benefits:

How long does recovery take after a tooth extraction?
Recovery times can vary depending on the complexity of the extraction and your overall health. Typically, most patients recover within a few days to a week. We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including advice on pain management, diet, and oral hygiene, to help speed up your recovery and avoid complications.
Post-extraction discomfort is normal, but it’s usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Our team is always available to assist if you have any concerns during your recovery.
