Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure performed to address various issues, including severe decay, infection and crowding. Dr. David Hazan offers both routine and complex extractions, including those involving impacted teeth. Our goal is to ensure a safe, effective and comfortable experience for all patients facing tooth removal.
Impacted teeth occur when a tooth fails to emerge fully into its expected position, often leading to discomfort and potential damage to adjacent teeth. This is frequently seen with wisdom teeth but can affect others as well. We use advanced imaging technology to carefully assess the position and condition of the impacted tooth and to plan the most appropriate treatment approach.
The extraction process involves numbing the area with local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. For impacted teeth, a small incision may be made in the gum tissue to access the tooth. Our dentist may need to remove some of the bone around the tooth or section the tooth to extract it safely and efficiently.
Following the extraction, we provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery. This includes guidance on managing discomfort, preventing infection and promoting healing. Our team is also available to answer any questions and provide support throughout the recovery process.
