What are Tooth Extractions?

Tooth extractions are a medical procedure designed to remove problematic teeth and enhance your overall oral health. Whether you're dealing with advanced gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth, or teeth that have suffered severe decay, our state-of-the-art facility in St Rose can accommodate your needs with professionalism and comfort.

Tooth extractions become necessary when alternative treatments can no longer save a tooth. Leaving an issue unaddressed can lead to a variety of problems, from shifting teeth to severe infection and intra-oral damage. Some common scenarios that necessitate tooth extractions include:

• Impacted wisdom teeth
• Loose or severely decayed teeth
• Teeth that are cracked or broken below the gum line
• Stubborn baby teeth
• A desire to avoid further, more complicated treatments

Who is a Candidate for Tooth Extractions?

Before proceeding with the procedure, we conduct a thorough examination, including x-rays, to determine whether a tooth extraction is the right course of action for you. If you're experiencing any form of oral discomfort or have visible signs of dental issues, it's important to consult with Dr. Steve J. Huang for a professional evaluation.

Tooth extractions are performed under the highest standards of care. After providing you with the appropriate anesthetic or sedation—options we can discuss during your consultation—Dr. Huang and our skilled team will proceed with loosening and extracting the tooth. Sutures may be applied if necessary, and you will be guided through aftercare for a tooth extraction to ensure a smooth recovery.

How Long Does a Tooth Extraction Take?

The duration of a tooth extraction largely depends on the complexity of your case. However, most extractions can be completed within an hour, making it a relatively quick process.
