Tooth Extraction
You expect your permanent teeth to last a lifetime, but that’s not always the case. We offer tooth extractions at Dentistry on Vine for extreme cases of decay, disease, or trauma. If you have severe damage or decay than tooth removal may be a good choice for you; to save your mouth from further problems.
What Can You Expect from Dental Extractions in St. Catharines?
Dental extractions are sometimes referred to as exodontia, exodontics, or even tooth pulling (tooth removal). Whatever you call it, this service resolves all kinds of dental problems. In fact, in some cases, a tooth extraction in St. Catharines is used to remedy dental crowding and prepare a mouth for braces.
If an extraction has you worried, learn more about the procedure to help you feel prepared.
What Is the Tooth Removal Process?
To start, the patient receives a local anesthesia to numb the area. If you need more than one tooth removed, a stronger general anesthesia may be used.
Once the anesthesia takes effect, your dentist will begin the tooth removal. During this step, the dentist separates the tooth from the dental alveolus, a socket in the alveolar bone. You may or may not experience mild pain or discomfort throughout the recovery process.
If you have concerns, it may help to discuss your options with your dentist.
