Tooth Extraction

Tooth Extraction in Dover, Delaware-19901

We all love our teeth and try to protect them always! However, despite certain precautionary measures, sometimes our tooth gets severely damaged due to decay and starts creating troubles for us such as extreme pain, difficulty chewing and more. Therefore, often the best way to solve this problem is tooth extraction.

We, at American Dental Care, are committed to protecting the health of your teeth using preventive measures such as regular cleaning and restorative treatments such as fillings and crowns, but in some cases, tooth extraction is the only way to protect your other teeth from getting damaged. Our expert tooth extraction dentists in Dover Delaware and other locations know exactly how to efficiently extract your tooth and keep your beautiful smile intact!

Do I Need an Extraction?

While our dentists leave no nook and corner and generally try everything to save your natural tooth, they are left with no other option than extraction when the tooth is in very bad condition or shape. A problematic tooth can put your health at risk and, therefore, it becomes crucial to take a decision that protects from other health complications that may arise out of neglection. Some of the common cases where you need tooth extraction are:

·         Infection

·         Irrevocable trauma

·         Deep decay

·         Overcrowding

·         Failed root canal therapy

·         Misalignment

·         Split teeth

·         Troubling wisdom teeth

Our tooth extraction dentists in Dover Delaware and other locations in America will not only provide an expert treatment to remove your bad tooth, but will also give you advice on post-treatment. We will also suggest you different tooth replacement options that meet budget and lifestyle.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth refer to our third molars that erupt after the rest of your adult teeth. They usually appear when people reach the age of about 17 to 25 years.   

Because they appear late, there is often not enough space for them to grow properly. This leads to several complications such as:

·         Damage to the neighboring teeth

·         Gum Tissues Infection

·         The wisdom teeth stuck in the gum tissues and bone

·         Cyst Formation

·         Damaged jawbone

·         Periodontal disease

·         Disruption to the teeth alignment

Not all wisdom teeth require an extraction, but when these complications arise, our dentists recommend removing them to ease your discomfort.

Teeth Extraction Procedure

We start our tooth extraction procedure by making sure that our patient is comfortable. We administer the appropriate level of anesthetic to suit your health and make the process as painless for you as possible. At American Dental Care, our patients and their comfort are our topmost priority and, therefore, our expert tooth extraction dentists at Dover, Delaware and other locations make sure that your concerns are heard throughout the procedure.

We will gently extract your tooth, clean, and seal the site with stitches, if required. After the procedure is over, we give you instructions on how to take care of your extraction site. Your dentist will also schedule a follow-up appointment with you to examine your healing progress.

Tooth extraction can be traumatic for some people, but we make sure that you always have the necessary information you need to make a right decision regarding your oral health.

Will My Tooth Extraction Hurt?

At American Dental Care, we take every possible measure to make the procedure as comfortable and painless as possible for you. After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort during the first 2-3 days or so, but we will discuss measures and tips to provide you relief and fasten your healing process.

Self-Care After Tooth Extraction

After extraction, it is important to follow our post-care instructions for faster recovery. For example, after the procedure, we recommend you having some soft foods that aren’t extremely hot or cold such as soups, yogurt, smoothies, pudding, and hard-boiled eggs. Smoking and drinking can dislodge the blood clot that forms at the site of the extraction, causing problems. Therefore, it is strictly prohibited. Avoid drinking through a straw for a few days after the procedure because the sucking action can increase your risk for bleeding and other dental problems. Be sure to take prescribed medications on time, and call us immediately if you run into any problems!

Tooth Replacement Options

Tooth extraction leaves your beautiful smile incomplete. To complete it, you need some tooth replacement options that suit your budget and lifestyle. At American Dental Care, after your tooth extraction procedure is complete, we will discuss with you several tooth replacement options, in order to minimize the amount of time you will have a missing tooth.

Some of the tooth replacement options we offer are:

·         Dental implants It is one of the best ways to replace a missing tooth. It replaces the root portion of a missing tooth. This fixture integrates with your bone to give it the best possible strength and stability. Our expert implant dentists in Dover Delaware and other locations specialize in this procedure.

 

·         Dental bridges For those patients who cannot have dental implants, a dental bridge can be a good option for your missing tooth. They fill the space where teeth are missing and keep your teeth, gums and jaw healthy. With bridges, we help restore the function and beauty of your mouth.

 

·         Dentures For those patients who have multiple missing teeth and who do not want dental implants, dentures are a viable option. By filling in the gaps created by missing teeth, dentures restore the function and appearance of your jaw. Also called false teeth, these dentures can be removed and cleaned. Moreover, they give you a smile you deserve!
