Tooth Extractions in Anthem, AZ
Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
Anthem Oral Surgery, led by Dr. Skip Harris, offers precise and comfortable tooth extractions, prioritizing health and patient care.
Tooth extraction is a common procedure that may be necessary for several reasons, including severe decay, advanced periodontal disease, irreparable tooth damage, impaction, or as a preparatory step for orthodontic treatment. Dr. Harris and our team are committed to exploring all possible alternatives to extraction to ensure that it is the best course of action for your dental health.
The Tooth Extraction Process: What to Expect
Our priority is to make your extraction as comfortable as possible. The area around the tooth will be numbed with a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. It’s normal to feel pressure during the extraction—this pressure is a sign of the tooth being carefully loosened for removal. We aim for a pain-free experience; however, should you feel any discomfort, immediate adjustments will be made.
Sectioning a Tooth: A Gentle Approach to Complex Extractions
In cases where a tooth is firmly anchored or the root is curved, sectioning may be necessary. This precise technique involves dividing the tooth into sections for easier, less invasive removal. This method underscores our commitment to patient comfort and effective treatment outcomes.
Post-Extraction Care and Recovery
Following your extraction, proper aftercare is crucial for healing and comfort. We provide detailed home care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and to prevent complications. For comprehensive aftercare information, please refer to our “After Extractions” page under “Surgical Instructions.”
