Enjoy Optimal Oral Health Again
Nobody likes to think about having a tooth extracted. The truth is, removing a tooth is actually our last option when it comes to helping a patient. It is better if a patient can keep their natural teeth in place whenever possible. However, extracting a tooth can become necessary when leaving it in would lead to further problems. A diseased tooth can eventually damage your gums and your other healthy teeth, not to mention cause you a great deal of pain.
In these situations, Dr. Wendelschafer will remove your tooth as gently as possible. We’ll use a local anesthetic to make sure that the area we’re working on is completely numb and that you don’t feel any pain. We’ll also give you complete aftercare instructions to make sure your healing process is quick and comfortable.
Replace Your Missing Tooth For Best Results
Whenever you lose a tooth, your other teeth can begin shifting positions. Eventually, you can develop issues with your bite, and the jawbone in the area of the missing tooth can begin to deteriorate. That’s why it’s best to replace the tooth if possible. A dental implant is the preferred method of tooth replacement. Dr. Wendelschafer will insert a small metal post into your jaw and, after a period of healing, attach a crown to it. Not only will the implant-crown combination restore your bite, it will also prevent your other teeth from shifting and help keep your jawbone healthy.

Common Questions About Tooth Removal/Extractions
Dr. Wendelschafer and our compassionate dental team will do everything we can to ensure that your tooth extraction is comfortable. We’ll numb the area of your mouth we’re working on so that you don’t feel any discomfort at all. In addition, you can enjoy amenities like pillows, blankets, TVs, and headphones to help distract you during your procedure.
A dry socket occurs when the blood clot that has formed where your tooth was removed is dislodged or dissolves. The nerves and bone are then left exposed to food and air, creating intense pain. If you rinse and spit often after your extraction, use a straw, or eat hard foods, you increase your chances of experiencing a dry socket.
