Extraction Satisfaction
One of the proudest moments of a child’s life is when he or she loses a tooth. Even when they needed a little help from mom or dad or even a door and a string, it was still a big moment. Even when we have lost all of our baby teeth there may still be times in our lives when we need to lose some teeth. Whether it be because of tooth decay or maybe we need our wisdom teeth taken out or to allow room for other teeth to grow, but regardless of the reason, a Walnut Creek dentist can perform safe and painless extractions.
Many times in order to prepare for orthodontic treatments such as braces, teeth need to be removed to make room. Impacted wisdom teeth or fractured and broken teeth also need to be removed to prevent future dental problems. Extractions may be necessary to prevent the spread of certain oral diseases such as gum disease which can spread to infect the bone of the teeth and jaw.
There are basically two types of extraction. The first, which is called a simple extraction, requires no cutting or incision. It involves merely removing the tooth and is a quick and easy process. The other type of extraction is surgical extraction. This type of extraction normally requires an incision to reach the tooth or teeth being extracted. A good example of this type of extraction is removing the wisdom teeth. Fortunately complications with extractions are rare and the time required to recover is relatively short.
Your dentist in Walnut Creek can provide you with state of the art sedation methods to ensure that your extraction is as painless and as effortless as absolutely possible. Your dentist and the support staff will make sure you understand the extraction process and help you feel comfortable with whatever work is being done.
