When Need Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction is often necessary to improve or maintain your overall dental health. At West Hollywood Smile Dental, our goal is to make sure you fully understand the reasons for extraction and the process involved so you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Here are a few reasons why you might need a tooth extraction:

Severe Tooth Decay: When a cavity is too large to be treated with a filling or root canal, extraction may be the best option to prevent the spread of infection.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth often become impacted, causing pain, swelling, and even infection. If necessary, our team will perform a safe extraction to prevent further complications.
Overcrowding: If your teeth are overcrowded, we may recommend an extraction to make space for orthodontic treatments like braces or clear aligners.
Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease can cause teeth to loosen, making extraction necessary to preserve your oral health.
Infection or Abscess: If a tooth becomes severely infected and a root canal cannot save it, extraction may be the best solution to prevent the infection from spreading to other teeth.

Steps We Follow During Your Tooth Extraction at West Hollywood Smile Dental

We use the latest techniques and anesthesia options to make your tooth removal as comfortable as possible, ensuring minimal pain or discomfort. Here’s what you can expect when pulling a tooth:

Consultation & Assessment: We’ll begin by checking your tooth and reviewing your medical history. We may take an X-ray to determine the best action, such as a simple or surgical extraction.
Anesthesia: Depending on the complexity of the extraction, we’ll use local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
Tooth Removal: After the anesthesia takes effect, your dentist will carefully remove the tooth.
Post-Extraction Care: After the dental extraction, we will give you clear instructions on how to care for your extraction site to prevent toothache. You may experience swelling or discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications or over-the-counter pain relief.
