There are times when patients in the Franklin, OH area may be faced with the need for extracting natural teeth. Many of our patients at K & E Advanced Dentistry will ask our team about what they can expect for extractions when they are recommended.
Extractions are the removal of natural teeth from the mouth. This may be done with simple extractions or surgical extractions. Simple extractions are when the dentist removes a tooth that has already erupted through the gum tissue and is visible. This allows the dentist to essentially wedge the tooth out of the socket quickly and easily with faster healing. However, there are times when natural teeth are stuck or “impacted” underneath the gum line. This instead requires that the dentist perform a surgical extraction. This is when a cut is made into the gum tissue, so the dentist can access the tooth underneath and remove it. The gum tissue is then sutured back up following this procedure and allowed to heal. Both procedures are performed in our practice.
Extractions are required for many reasons.
Simple extractions are done with local anesthetics and finished quickly as the dentist essentially extracts the tooth using a special instrument. Healing is rather quick, and risk of infection is low. Surgical extractions are a little more invasive and may be done with not only proper anesthetics but also sedation if requested to ensure patient comfort. Recovery may be a few days longer but both procedures are done regularly by our team. Drs. Scott Everhart, Mamta Kori and Farhad Jamshidi can talk to patients who are considering these treatments and walk them through what they can expect before, during, and after their procedures. This is often done at the consultation appointment when patients are learning what their options are for resolving their dental health concerns. We encourage patients to ask questions and fully understand their procedures.
