What Are Tooth Extractions?
At First Dental Image, our team provides tooth extractions with skill and compassion, helping patients feel at ease through every step of treatment. A tooth extraction is the safe removal of a tooth that cannot be restored with other therapies. It may be recommended for several reasons, such as severe decay, infection, or injury. In some cases, dental extractions for infected or broken teeth prevent damage to surrounding gums and bone. Extractions are also used to prepare the mouth for orthodontic treatment or to relieve overcrowding. Simple tooth extractions and surgical tooth extractions are performed with precision at First Dental Image to protect your overall oral health. Each procedure is tailored to your needs and guided by your comfort from start to finish. Schedule a consultation at our Addison, IL practice to discuss your tooth extraction needs and learn more about your treatment options.
What Should I Expect During a Tooth Extraction?
Our dental team begins each dental extraction with a detailed exam and digital imaging to plan the procedure. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area and ensure a comfortable experience. For a simple tooth extraction, the dentist carefully loosens and removes the tooth using gentle techniques. A surgical tooth extraction may be recommended for teeth that are broken, impacted, or below the gum line. Our dentist provides oral surgery services for tooth removal with advanced precision and attention to detail. After the extraction, the site is cleaned and protected to promote healing. Patients receive clear instructions for home care and recovery.
