Is tooth extraction a painful procedure?
While the natural tooth should last a lifetime, sometimes unexpected issues occur over the years that require patients to have a tooth or several teeth removed. At Dentistry on Parkdale in Hamilton, Ontario, Dr. Karen Ho and her staff may sometimes recommend tooth extractions. Tooth extraction is done in a way to eliminate painful or uncomfortable results during or after the treatment.
What types of tooth extraction services are available at Dentistry on Parkdale?
Dr. Karen Ho is pleased to offer both extraction options at her office, including simple and surgical dental extractions. For teeth that have erupted through the gumline and are accessible to the dentist, a simple extraction is performed. This is completed within minutes as the tooth is removed from the jawbone using special extraction instruments.
On the other hand, patients who have teeth that are impacted underneath the gum line, which often occurs with wisdom teeth, may require surgical dental extractions. Surgical extractions require Dr. Karen Ho to cut into the gum tissues to access the tooth below. Surgical extractions are more invasive and require longer downtime and recovery. Still, they can be done in various situations to help restore the function and health of the smile in certain patients.
