Teeth Extractions in Beverly Hills

When it comes to your dental health, it sometimes is better to let go, especially if a cracked or infected tooth is causing more harm than good. Our Beverly Hills dentist office is here to make the extraction process as straightforward, safe, and stress-free as possible, even though it might be frightening.

We offer tooth extractions with the utmost simplicity and care. Whether you have an inflamed wisdom tooth or a badly decayed molar, we are here to help you take the next step toward improved dental health.

What is a Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction is the procedure of removing a tooth from the mouth.. Although it may appear simple, there are various types based on your specific oral condition:

  • Simple extractions are where a tooth is visible and can be pulled with ease. These are usually basic and quick.
  • Surgical extractions are more difficult. When a tooth is injured at the gum line or has not fully erupted, they are necessary.

To decide the appropriate course of action, we in Beverly Hills prioritize your comfort by employing digital imaging and extensive examinations.

Signs You Might Need a Tooth Extraction

Even though tooth extraction is frequently a last resort, there are several indicators that it could be necessary:

  • Wisdom tooth problems include impacted or crowded teeth, which can result in infections or pain.
  • An infected tooth that has the potential to spread to neighboring teeth is called an infection.
  • Advanced gum disease can cause teeth to loosen and necessitate extraction.

Benefits of Tooth Extractions

It's common to worry about getting a tooth extracted. However, extractions can significantly enhance your overall dental health:

Pain Reduction
Say goodbye to persistent agony.
Stops the Spread
Prevents other healthy teeth from becoming infected.
Better Oral Hygiene
Less crowding means easier cleaning.
Improves Alignment
Makes way for braces or other orthodontic treatments.

What the Procedure Looks Like

Our objective is to constantly keep you informed and comfortable. Usually, it goes as follows:

  • Assessment

We examine the affected tooth thoroughly using X-rays and describe its status to you.

  • Anesthesia and Preparation

You will feel utterly numb before anything begins. We also provide moderate sedation options for folks who are concerned about their teeth.

  • Extraction

To do a simple extraction, the tooth must be properly loosened before being extracted. For surgical extraction, dentists make a small incision to remove a damaged or impacted tooth.

  • After-care

We will provide you with proper aftercare suggestions to help you with a smooth recovery. If required, we will schedule a follow-up appointment and, if appropriate, discuss replacement options like dentures, bridges, or implants.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recovery time?
The pain and edema associated with tooth extractions usually decrease within three to seven days. You'll feel a lot better after a few days, but the gums will take one to two weeks to completely recover.
How long does it take to remove teeth?

A single tooth removal takes around ten to twenty minutes. A wisdom tooth or other difficult tooth extraction might take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on its intricacy.

What Guidelines Should You Follow Before Having Your Teeth Removed?
If you are about to be put to sleep, do not eat or drink anything for eight hours before the procedure. Any medication you are consuming should be known to your dentist. If necessary, arrange for transport home.
How many teeth may be removed?
Although most dentists prefer to pull one to four teeth at a time, you can have many teeth extracted at the same session. Eating and healing may become more difficult if too many are removed at once.
