There are two methods for removing teeth: simple extraction and surgical extraction. Depending on the state of the tooth, our dentist will choose one or the other. For teeth that are visible above the gum line, a straightforward extraction is required. In this operation, our dentist will first loosen your tooth with a dental elevator before removing it from the gums with forceps. Only 3 to 15 minutes are needed to finish this procedure for each tooth.
However, we will need to perform surgery to extract your tooth if it is buried beneath the gums. Your gums will be lightly punctured by the dentist, allowing them access to the tooth. From there, we can carry out a straightforward extraction by first separating the tooth from the gums and then removing it. To make the tooth removal process quicker and simpler, we may in some circumstances chop the tooth into smaller pieces. This process requires more time and often takes 45 minutes.
Is tooth extraction painful? No, at our Cypress location, tooth extraction is painless and easy. Even when a tooth is being removed surgically or urgently, local anesthesia thoroughly numbs the tooth and the surrounding area to assure your comfort. We also provide a variety of safe dental sedative methods to help you unwind mentally and physically if you're extremely fearful or apprehensive about your procedure.
