Safe, Comfortable, and Effective Removal
When a tooth has become damaged, either because of decay or injury, our team at Anthem Dentistry does its best to save the tooth in question rather than extract it. However, we understand that sometimes extraction is the only remaining option, which is why it’s considered as a last resort.
Why Choose Anthem Dentistry for Tooth Extractions?
Placement Available
After extraction, we can replace your tooth with a dental implant right here in our office.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer multiple levels of sedation to keep you comfortable throughout the extraction process.
Same-Day Care
When you’re in pain and need an urgent extraction, we offer same-day emergency appointments.
When Is an Extraction Necessary?
We’ll be sure to explain to you why we recommend a tooth extraction before beginning treatment as well as break down the process. Extractions may be recommended when a tooth is too damaged by decay to be restored, when advanced gum disease has loosened a tooth, or when a tooth is fractured below the gum line.
Our goal is always to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. When extraction is the best option, we make the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
While wisdom teeth may have proven useful when tooth loss was very common, they have only become more of a burden for patients than anything else. If you start to notice discomfort in the back of your mouth or facial swelling towards this area, it may be due to your wisdom teeth not having enough room to erupt.
During your visit, we’ll perform a comprehensive exam and explain your wisdom tooth removal in detail before beginning treatment.
After Your Extraction
Following your extraction, our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. Most patients recover within a few days and can manage discomfort with over-the-counter pain medication.
If you need a tooth replacement following your extraction, we offer several options including dental implants, bridges, and dentures — all available right here in our office.
Gum Recontouring
Say Goodbye to a Gummy Smile
Excessive gum tissue can make your teeth look shorter than they really are. Using a soft tissue laser, we gently and precisely remove that extra tissue — usually in a single appointment with little to no local anesthetic needed. The result is a balanced, confident smile.
