What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction

Depending on the specific procedure you need to improve your smile and daily comfort, there are a few things you can expect from having teeth extracted or pulled. Our San Antonio dentistry team will be sure you know everything ahead of time so there are no surprises. After evaluating your situation and taking any necessary X-rays, our tooth extraction dentist will make sure that you are comfortable and that you fully understand the procedure, answering any questions you may have. Before the procedure starts, you will be given a local anesthetic to fully numb the affected area. The dentist will then remove the tooth or teeth, and provide you with guidance for proper at-home care. Typically, you will recover in just a couple of days. Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Situations in which extraction may be recommended include:

  • An overcrowded mouth
  • Preparation for orthodontia
  • Teeth that fail to erupt or break through the gums
  • Teeth that are at a high risk for infection
  • Severe tooth decay and/or infection
  • Issues associated with the wisdom teeth

What to Know About Bone Grafting Dentistry

Often when a tooth is extracted, it will be replaced with a dental implant. This will help restore the appearance of your smile, as well as your comfort when talking or chewing. Our San Antonio dentist is highly experienced in all procedures and can prepare you for a dental implant after an extraction is performed. Typically, this process will require cleaning the infected area and grafting the bone to create a solid foundation for your implant.
