In most cases, getting a tooth pulled is a last resort. Dental teams will always work towards treatments that can save teeth, like root canals, dental crowns, and dental fillings. But either because of significant damage, dental decay, or other dental issues, sometimes tooth removal is necessary. At Varinos Dental Assoicates we specialize in restorative dental treatments, including tooth replacement treatments. Our offices are equipped to handle every step of the dental implant process. As restorative expert,s we can help protect your smile, provide tooth extractions if necessary, and help with tooth replacement. 

Dental Extractions Q & A

Common Reasons For Tooth Extraction

The most common reason a tooth needs to be pulled is that there is significant damage to the tooth. Whether caused by an injury or dental decay, if a tooth cannot be repaired, extraction may be necessary. But there are other reasons a tooth might need to be pulled. Of course, one of the first ones that comes to mind is wisdom tooth removal. It is extremely common for wisdom teeth to not have adequate room in the mouth, and in some cases, they come in at such a steep angle that they collide under the gums. Wisdom teeth that are impacted like this need to be surgically removed. As we mentioned earlier, our goal as dentists is to prevent tooth removal and only do it if it is necessary. 

Dental Sedation & Tooth Extraction in Massachusetts

The words “you need to have a tooth pulled” can cause a bit of anxiety, especially for patients who already struggle with dental anxiety, have sensitive teeth, or have never had a tooth removed before. One of the things that sets Varinos Dental Associates apart is that we provide dental sedation. Dental sedation can help make restorative dental treatments like extractions, root canals, and tooth replacement more manageable for patients. 

If you have questions about dental sedation, we would be happy to answer them. Dental sedation is a great option for patients who have been putting off dental visits or extensive dental work due to concerns regarding dental anxiety. 

Post-Op Care Instructions for Dental Extractions

Our dental team will provide post-op care instructions for any treatment you receive at our offices. We highly recommendthat patients follow those care instructions, or the instructions of their dentist. Initial recovery from a tooth extraction tends to be 48-72 hours after the treatment. That said it can take a few weeks for your jawbone to completely heal. Also, it is important to note that surgical extraction has uniquely different post-care instructions as you will need to take care of your stitches.
