Gentle Dental Extractions Provide Immediate Pain Relief and Support a Healthy Smile
Modern dentistry has progressed to the extent that dentists can rebuild part of the tooth or an entire tooth in a way that it mimics the looks, feel, and performance of your natural teeth. There is no “lab-made” tooth superior to the “real deal” despite technological advancement. That’s why every effort is made to preserve natural teeth. Consistent visits to Dr. Vickii R. Bingham-Lester in Bowie, Maryland, alongside routine at-home oral care, can go a long way in preventing tooth loss.
Even so, tooth extraction is still necessary. Not all severely damaged or decayed teeth can be restored by crowns or saved by root canal. In such cases, Bingham-Lester Dentistry’s gentle tooth removal services will be integral to protecting you from oral pain and salvaging your overall oral health.
Why Your Natural Tooth Has To Go
You already know that a significantly damaged or decayed tooth has to be removed. Besides that, there are other reasons why your beloved tooth has to go. Common reasons why your tooth needs removal include:
- Impacted wisdom tooth
- Advanced gum disease
- Unsuccessful root canal
- Where the tooth causes overcrowding or compromises orthodontic treatment
If your dentist tells you that your tooth needs removal, there is nothing to worry about. The procedure is pretty fast and painless. Plus, you don’t have to stress much about the lost tooth. We have implants and other tooth replacement options to close the gap.
Tooth Removal Process
Under the leadership of Dr. Bingham-Lester, our dental team uses light-touch techniques and anesthesia to extract teeth painlessly, safely, precisely, and effortlessly. If your tooth sits above the gum line, a simple extraction is done under local anesthesia. Once your gums are numb, we use special tools and skills to pull out the tooth.
If you have an impacted wisdom tooth or your tooth is broken at the gum line, we do a surgical extraction. After administering anesthesia, the dentist makes an incision in your gum line to access the trapped tooth. We then break the tooth into pieces for easier removal. Finally, we clean the incision site and suture it to kick start the healing process.
