Treatment Process
Examination and Planning
Your dentist will examine your tooth and take X-rays to assess its condition and determine the best approach for extraction.
Anesthesia Administration
Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area. For complex extractions or anxious patients, sedation options are available.
Tooth Removal
Using specialized instruments, your dentist will gently loosen the tooth and remove it with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.
Wound Care
After extraction, the socket may be cleaned and stitched if necessary. A gauze pad is placed to control bleeding and aid clot formation.
Post-Extraction Instructions
Your dentist will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize discomfort.
Before & After

Aftercare
After your extraction, bite firmly on the gauze pad for about 30-60 minutes to help stop bleeding. Avoid rinsing, spitting, drinking through straws, smoking, or drinking alcohol for 24 hours. Apply ice packs to reduce swelling, and take prescribed pain medication as directed. Eat soft foods and gradually return to your normal diet as healing progresses. Maintain good oral hygiene but avoid brushing the extraction site directly for the first day. Contact us if you experience severe pain, excessive bleeding, or signs of infection.
