Tooth extraction can be your introduction to a healthy smile. It can set the stage for replacement teeth and smile restoration, giving you back confidence, aesthetics, and oral function.
Your dentist recommends tooth extraction for various reasons, including:
- Severe tooth injury and damage
- Deep decay and crumbling
- Overcrowded teeth
- Before dentures or partials
- Problematic wisdom teeth
Remember, extraction doesn't mean the end of your smile.
About Tooth Extraction in Winston-Salem, NC
Tooth extraction likely seems daunting, especially when you don't know what to expect. Fortunately, you are in excellent hands with Pryor Dental.
We will ensure that you are comfortable in the dental chair and answer any questions that you might have. Before starting the extraction process, the dentist will numb the treatment site with powerful local anesthesia.
Some extractions are straightforward, and others are complex or surgical. No matter the case, you'll not feel pain.
Depending on the reason for your extraction, we'll discuss tooth replacement. Our options include dental implants, dentures, and bridges.
We should note that wisdom teeth are not necessary for smile aesthetics or function. You will not miss these back teeth, which come in late and often cause problems such as pain, encroachment, impaction, and infection.
Tooth Extraction for a Healthier Smile
Tooth extraction can prevent the spread of infection, relieve oral pain, and more. It allows your Winston-Salem dentist to restore oral health, setting you up for functional and anesthetic improvement.
If we extract a tooth due to injury, deep decay, or advanced infection, following through with tooth replacement is crucial to preserve oral health, function, and aesthetics.
It is also vital to follow all aftercare instructions your dentist provides to promote prompt recovery.
