Tooth Extractions

Eastampton Tooth Extractions with Gentle Expertise

Sometimes, the path to a healthier smile begins by saying goodbye to a tooth. At Opal Dental, we provide sophisticated care for this common procedure. Whether you’re dealing with persistent tooth discomfort, preparing for wisdom tooth removal, or addressing an oral health issue, our dentist in Eastampton, NJ, is here to guide you through your tooth extraction.

When Will We Consider Pulling a Tooth?

We always aim to restore health and comfort, even if that means a tooth extraction. Here are some situations where we might take this path:

When a tooth is beyond repair, removing it is often the key to relieving pain and preventing further issues.

Extracting teeth may be necessary to create space and ensure alignment while you undergo Invisalign® treatment.

Third molars without space to come in cause pain and even infections. Wisdom tooth removal can protect your dental health.

If you need space for future treatments, like dental implants, we may need to remove some teeth.

How We Gracefully Navigate Your Tooth Extraction

  1. Dental Exam: X-rays, 3D imaging, and other tools help us assess the tooth and surrounding area to make a precise plan. 
  2. Anesthetic and/or Sedation: Our Mt. Holly dentist applies a local anesthetic. For more complex cases or if you’re nervous, we offer dental sedation
  3. Tooth Removal: Our dentist gently removes the tooth using a minimally invasive approach to protect the surrounding tissue.
  4. Aftercare: You’ll receive detailed instructions for healing and book a follow-up to monitor your recovery.
Polished Pearls of Wisdom: Tooth Removal FAQs

Healing times vary depending on the complexity of the extraction, but most patients start feeling back to normal within a week. Deeper healing might take a little longer for wisdom teeth or surgical extractions.

The cost depends on the tooth’s location, procedure complexity, and sedation use. We’ll explain the pricing clearly and help you look into payment options that work for you.

  • Control Bleeding: Bite gently on gauze.
  • Protect the Clot: Avoid spitting or using a straw.
  • Mind Your Diet: Eat soft foods and stay hydrated.
  • Relieve Pain: Use over-the-counter pain relievers.
  • Keep It Clean: Brush carefully around the extraction site.

With numbing and sedation, you’ll feel little to no discomfort. Most people only experience mild soreness afterward, which can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief and our helpful aftercare tips.
