Dental extractions may be recommended to remove wisdom teeth, correct orthodontic overcrowding, prevent the spread of dental infection, and prepare teeth for restorations. The dental team at Williamsburg Dental offers tooth extractions in Broomall, PA.
For patients’ comfort, our dentists use local anesthesia and dental sedation. Tooth extractions are a part of general dentistry because they help prevent future oral health problems, including decay and damage.
Dental Extraction Options
Tooth extractions may be simple or complex. Simple tooth extractions remove teeth that are visible from the gum line. Complex extractions are needed for teeth that are impacted or not visible from the gum line. Our dentists may perform a simple extraction in our office and will refer complex extractions to a local oral surgeon.
Following your tooth extraction, keep gauze on the extraction sites. Avoid brushing the area before it is fully healed. Stick to a soft diet for several days or as recommended and take pain medication as prescribed.
We can provide dental implants and implant-secured restorations after extraction treatment to restore your smile and maintain your dental health. If patients require orthodontic treatment, they need some time to heal.
Wisdom Teeth
The wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually emerge when patients are in their late teens or early 20s. Wison teeth extraction is recommended for most patients to support a healthy bite and avoid dental problems down the road.
Our dental care team monitors the development of wisdom teeth in young patients and will recommend extraction when considered necessary for long-term dental health.
