Tooth Extractions in Dedham, MA

tooth extractions | smiling woman at dedham dentist

At Dental Park in Dedham, MA, our primary goal is to help you maintain your healthy and beautiful smile with all your natural teeth for a lifetime. However, tooth extraction may be necessary to protect your dental health in some situations. This is always a last resort for Dr. Park and Dr. Lee

If you need a tooth removed, we want you to rest assured that we will make the process as stress-free as possible.

When Is a Tooth Extraction in Dedham Necessary?

Some of the situations when our dentists may recommend a tooth extraction are:

  • When the tooth is decayed, cracked, or fractured beyond repair
  • When a patient suffers bone loss from advanced gum disease
  • If an impacted tooth is causing an infection
  • An injured or traumatized tooth that we can’t repair
  • To prepare for full or partial dentures
  • Wisdom teeth that are too crowded, impacted, or too hard to reach for brushing and flossing

If you need a tooth extraction, our dentists will review the procedure with you beforehand so you know what to expect and you can relax and have a stress-free experience. In addition, our team will support you through each step of the procedure and throughout your recovery process.

Our dentists will also discuss different choices you have for tooth replacement if they’re removing a tooth that’s not a third molar (wisdom tooth) so you understand your options for restoring your smile.

Step-by-Step Process of Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is a straightforward procedure designed to alleviate pain, prevent future damage, or prepare for further dental treatments:

Local Anesthesia

To start, the area around the tooth being extracted is numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure a painless procedure.

Removal

The dentist uses specialized instruments to gradually loosen the tooth in its socket until it can gently be removed.

Cleaning

Once the tooth is removed, the site is thoroughly cleaned and sutured to promote healing and prevent infection.

There are times when a tooth is broken or decayed past the point of a dentist's ability to repair it. In other cases, like when third molars (or "wisdom teeth") cause overcrowding, a tooth's mere presence poses a threat to the teeth around it and an individual's overall oral health. It's for these reasons that tooth extractions are a necessity in dental care.

By extracting damaged or otherwise harmful teeth, a dentist both relieves a patient's pain in the immediate term and eliminates the long-term risk of damage spreading to ...
