Oral Surgery
Losing a tooth to extraction for any reason can feel overwhelming and even stir up some emotions. At TLC Dentistry, we understand, and our dentists and compassionate team are here to guide and support you with kindness and compassion.
Understanding Tooth Extraction: Your Health Comes First
Our dentists only recommend removing a tooth when they have exhausted all options to save it. Here are some reasons why they might recommend an extraction:
Severe tooth decay takes up most of the tooth
Advanced tooth infection that we can't treat with a root canal
A wisdom tooth hasn't emerged correctly or is blocked by other teeth
Tooth overcrowding affects your bite and oral hygiene
Advanced gum disease loosens a tooth's support
Putting off extraction in any of these circumstances can have consequences like infection, chronic pain, and damage to neighboring teeth. At TLC Dentistry, we strongly believe in clear communication and will help you understand the reason behind our recommendations and the potential risks of delaying treatment.
If you have a severe toothache or a damaged tooth and need to know if you need an emergency tooth extraction, please call our Dunedin dental office promptly so we can help you.
We Ensure Your Comfort and Safety
We prioritize your comfort and well-being before, during, and after removing your tooth. Our dentists will explain what you can expect and ask if you have any questions. They are happy to provide as much or as little information as you prefer.
Before beginning, we use a strong anesthetic to ensure the treatment area is completely numb so you won't feel any pain. If you need anything during the procedure, let us know immediately, and we will stop to check in with you.
At TLC Dentistry, we go above and beyond to create a calming environment for you. Our treatment rooms have TVs for distraction and noise-canceling headphones to dampen any uncomfortable sounds. We also offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation for those needing extra help to relax.
Looking Ahead: Your Tooth Replacement Options
When you're ready to discuss tooth replacement, our dentists will guide you through your options. From implants to bridges and dentures, they will work closely with you, understanding your unique needs, lifestyle, and financial considerations, to recommend the best solution.
