Simple Dental Extraction in Houston

When you require a dental extraction, our highly qualified and experienced dentist and their team will carry it out. Some of the reasons that you may need a tooth extraction include tooth decay or infection, advanced periodontal disease, fractured teeth, or the extraction of supernumerary teeth or third molars. Additionally, you may have tooth removal as a component of a cosmetic procedure or during the prosthetics phase of the fitting of dentures.

In our dental clinic, doing dental extractions, both simple and complex surgical extractions, is a routine procedure. During a simple extraction, the patient will receive a local anesthetic. The dentist will then carefully elevate and secure the tooth with specialist dental instruments, carefully handle it, and withdraw it from the oral cavity with a slow and consistent force.

More About Dental Extraction

When a tooth is not easily accessible, such as when it has been broken off below the gum line or when it has not yet broken through the gums and is still below the gum line, our dentists will perform a surgical extraction. During surgical extractions, a gingival incision is made, and the dentist will meticulously extract the tooth, sometimes by dividing it into multiple fragments. Typically, these extractions necessitate using a general anesthetic instead of a local one.

Prior to extracting a tooth, the dentist will thoroughly evaluate your dental and medical records and capture any required X-ray images. An X-ray visually represents the tooth's morphology, position, dimensions, and surrounding alveolar bone. We will use this information to determine the optimal tooth extraction approach. They will numb the region surrounding your tooth with an anesthetic before extracting it during a straightforward extraction.
