Tooth Extraction Process
At Aesthetic Dental Group in Uniontown, PA, our experienced doctors provide gentle and effective tooth extractions to help restore your oral health. Whether you're dealing with severe decay, infection, or overcrowding, we’re here to make the process as comfortable as possible.
- Numbing and Sedation: Before your extraction, our doctors will carefully clean and numb the area around the affected tooth. If needed, sedation options are available to help you relax and ensure a pain-free experience from start to finish.
- Tooth Removal: Once the area is fully numb, we’ll use precise dental instruments to gently loosen the tooth. After it’s loosened, the tooth will be carefully removed using dental forceps. If multiple teeth are being extracted, this process will be repeated for each one.
- Site Care and Healing: After the extraction, we will clean the socket, disinfect the area, and place sutures if necessary to aid in proper healing. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to help you recover smoothly at home.
- If you're planning to replace your tooth with an implant, bridge, or denture, we’ll help you explore your restorative options to complete your smile.
