Understanding that the thought of having a tooth extracted can be daunting, we strive to make the process as straightforward and pain-free as possible.

Dental Extraction Needed

When Is a Dental Extraction Needed?

There are several conditions where an extraction might be the best course of action:

  • Irreparable Tooth Damage : due to severe decay or trauma.

  • Infection or Risk of Infection : where a root canal might not be sufficient.

  • Overcrowding : which might require removal of one or more teeth to achieve alignment or prepare for orthodontics.

The Process of Simple Tooth Extractions

Our skilled dentists perform simple extractions directly at our Peoria office. After numbing the area, we use specialized tools to gently remove the tooth. We ensure you understand the process and provide detailed home care instructions to facilitate a quick and smooth recovery.

Caring for Your Oral Health Post-Extraction

Post-extraction care is crucial to avoid complications and ensure healing:

  • Immediate Aftercare : Avoid eating and drinking for two hours post-extraction.

  • Pain Management : Use ice packs to soothe any discomfort or swelling.

  • Avoid Disruptive Activities : Such as using a straw or smoking, which can impede the healing process.

  • Soft Diet : Stick to soft foods like soups, yogurt, and eggs immediately following your procedure.
