Same Day Dental Extractions We all want to maintain healthy teeth and a beautiful smile. Unfortunately for most of us, this is easier said than done. Most Americans will have to undergo some type of restorative treatment during their lifetime. For some, this may include a tooth extraction. Tooth extraction is the removal of a problematic tooth from its socket in the bone. At Ruther Family Dentistry, we offer Same Day Dental Extractions. If you are in need of a dental extraction, call us today and receive a same day appointment. Why You May Need an ExtractionTooth extraction is usually a last resort to improve your oral health and prevent the spread of disease. Most extractions are the result of extensive damage caused by tooth decay or trauma. Other reasons include:
Types of ExtractionsThere are two types of extractions: simple and surgical. Most simple extractions will be performed by a general dentist. Simple extractions are performed on teeth that are above the gumline and can be gripped by a tool called an elevator. A surgical extraction is used to remove a tooth that has yet to erupt or on that has broken off at the gumline. A surgical extraction is most common for the removal of wisdom teeth. During the procedure, we will make an incision in the gum tissue to expose and remove the tooth. In some cases, we may also need to remove some of the bone. Often, the tooth is broken into pieces to make the extraction easier. After Your ExtractionAfter your extraction, we will give you a detailed set of post-operative instructions. Minor pain, discomfort, and swelling are common. Once you have fully healed from your extraction, we can discuss possible replacements. It is important to replace a missing tooth as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may experience complications with your bite and jawbone. We typically recommend dental implants, because they are the next best thing to your natural teeth. Talk with Dr. Ruther to learn more about tooth replacement options.
