Tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. While it may seem daunting, extractions are sometimes necessary to maintain or improve overall oral health. There are several reasons why a tooth extraction may be recommended, including severe tooth decay, infection, crowding, or damage that cannot be repaired by other dental procedures.
At Dr. Sofia Hawelia’s clinic, tooth extractions are performed with precision and care to ensure minimal discomfort and promote a smooth recovery process. Whether it’s for health reasons, such as preventing the spread of infection or for aesthetic purposes, Dr. Sofia provides a personalized treatment plan to address your specific dental needs.
While extractions are often a necessary part of dental care, Dr. Sofia offers options such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures to fill the space left by the extracted tooth, preserving both the function and aesthetic of your smile.
Tooth extraction is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Some discomfort may occur post-extraction, but it can typically be managed with pain relievers.
Recovery time varies based on the complexity of the extraction. Simple extractions typically heal within 1-2 weeks, while surgical extractions may take 2-4 weeks for complete recovery.
It is generally recommended to replace missing teeth to maintain proper function and appearance. Options include dental implants, bridges, or dentures.
While tooth extraction is generally safe, there are potential risks, such as infection, bleeding, or dry socket. Following post-extraction care instructions can help minimize these risks.
For the first few days after the extraction, it's best to stick to soft foods and avoid chewing directly on the extraction site. Your dentist will provide specific dietary recommendations based on your healing progress.
