TOOTH EXTRACTIONS FOR dental IMPLANTS

Extractions are the surgical removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. This procedure is usually performed when a tooth cannot be saved due to decay, infection, trauma, or malformation. During a tooth extraction, the dentist will use forceps to loosen and remove the tooth, as well as any surrounding tissue or bone. Pain medication may be offered before and after your procedure to help manage discomfort.

After a tooth extraction, your dentist will provide instructions on how to care for the area and may prescribe antibiotics if necessary.
