What Should I Know About Tooth Extractions?

Tooth extraction may become necessary for a variety of reasons, all of which can significantly impact oral health and overall well-being. These reasons include severe tooth decay or irreparable damage, advanced periodontal disease jeopardizing the tooth’s stability, teeth crowding or misalignment affecting oral function and hygiene, and impacted wisdom teeth causing pain, infection, or harm to neighboring teeth. At Legacy Surgery, our team approaches each case with individualized care, meticulously evaluating patients’ unique needs to determine the most suitable treatment plan.

What is Involved with Tooth Extraction?

In a tooth extraction procedure, Dr. Jeff Kesecker, DDS, begins with an evaluation to discuss the treatment plan and administer anesthesia for patient comfort. Using precise instruments, he carefully removes the tooth from its socket. Afterward, our team provides post-operative care instructions and schedules follow-up appointments to monitor healing and address any concerns. Throughout the process, patient safety and comfort remain our top priorities at Legacy Surgery.

Can a Dentist Pull a Tooth That is Broken off at the Gum Line?

Facing a broken tooth can be daunting, but rest assured, our team at Legacy Surgery is equipped to handle such cases. Our skilled dentists have the expertise to extract teeth broken off at the gum line using specialized techniques and advanced technology. With our commitment to comfortable and less invasive procedures, we strive to alleviate any concerns and provide optimal outcomes for our patients in Harrisonburg, VA, and beyond.

Why Wouldn’t a Dentist Pull a Tooth?

While dentists possess the skills to perform extractions, there are instances where extraction may not be feasible or advisable. Factors such as the tooth’s position, surrounding structures, or underlying medical conditions may influence the decision. At Legacy Surgery, we prioritize patient safety and satisfaction above all else. If extraction isn’t the best course of action, our team will explore alternative treatments or refer you to a specialist for further evaluation and care.
