What Happens During A Tooth Extraction In Spanaway, WA?
When people have severely infected teeth that cannot be salvaged, a caring and dedicated doctor can remove theme through a tooth extraction procedure. At the beginning of a customized tooth extraction procedure, the doctor will administer a local anesthetic to the patient, around their gums and failed tooth, so that they can have a comfortable and anxiety free procedure experience.
When the patient’s gums are numb, the doctor will carefully remove the tooth in a way that preserves the structure and integrity of their other teeth, jawbone, soft tissues, and nerves. After the tooth has been removed, the area of the tooth extraction will be prepared to encourage healing to begin.
The patient should follow the post-tooth extraction guidelines at home that the doctor gives them. These instructions will outline the best ways fort the patient to keep their tooth extraction site clean, for a quick and predictable recovery.
Can Extracted Teeth Be Replaced?
After having a tooth extraction, the patient will want to replace their extracted tooth with a dental implant. A dental implant is a gold standard tooth replacement option that allows patients to maintain a normal diet, speak clearly, and smile confidently.
A dental implant is composed of a dental implant post, an abutment, and a prosthesis. Depending on the number of teeth that have been extracted, patients can get treated with single dental implants, implant supported dentures, or full mouth dental implants.
