Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
The idea of extracting a tooth can be intimidating for many patients. That's why our informative and compassionate staff is here to break down the benefits of our extraction services and help you make confident oral health decisions. During your initial appointment with Dr. Legunn, he will sit down with you and break down some of the reasons a dental extraction may be necessary for your smile.
Some situations that may require our Pleasantville tooth extraction include:
- Irreparable damage from tooth decay: When your tooth has been severely affected by tooth decay to the point where its structure is compromised, tooth removal may be your best option.
- Loosening of your tooth from gum disease: If gum disease goes without treatment and progresses, it can result in your tooth loosening and leave extraction as the only solution.
- Eliminating tooth crowding issues: It may be necessary to remove one or multiple teeth to eliminate severe crowding if there are too many teeth for orthodontic treatment.
Catering to Your Tooth Removal Needs
At the dental office of Kenneth Legunn, D.M.D., we've spent years improving our overall tooth removal process. When you first visit our practice, Dr. Legunn will begin by conducting an extensive oral exam. Using x-ray technology, he'll look at the condition of your teeth, gums, and jawbones. Our dentist will consider everything from the structure of your crown to how your tooth's roots appear. If Dr. Legunn believes that tooth extraction is the best route for you, we'll move forward with carefully and safely extracting your tooth. We may also refer you to a trusted specialist for cases involving an impacted tooth or wisdom teeth.
Our team is genuinely committed to facilitating a comfortable and relaxing experience during your extraction. That's why we provide our patients with nitrous oxide sedation. This type of sedation is administered through a special device that goes over your nose. It delivers a sedation cocktail that helps reduce feelings of discomfort and helps relax even the most anxious patients.
Extractions FAQs
It's normal to have various questions about our Pleasantville tooth removal services. That's why our friendly and informative dental staff is here to answer your questions and help you confidently decide if dental extraction is right for you. Some of the most frequently asked questions about our tooth removal services include:
Absolutely. Our practice provides skilled dental implant placement and will ensure that your gums heal properly to make way for implants, whether you receive them at our office or somewhere else.
Yes and no. It all depends on the location of your extracted tooth and the reason behind its extraction. Dr. Legunn will sit down with you and discuss whether replacing your tooth is the best course of action and, if so, what options are available to you.
It's important to note that gum recovery times can vary between patients. However, it's normal to have your gums fully healed between 7-14 days after your procedure. Our office will contact you after your extraction to check up on you and ensure that you're not dealing with any complications from healing.
There is no age requirement for tooth extraction. We only require that the tooth or teeth be fully erupted and that extraction is necessary to protect your oral well-being.
