Surgical Extractions in Springfield, PA

When a tooth is damaged beyond repair, it may need to be surgically removed in a procedure known as surgical tooth extraction. At Daley Oral Surgery, we specialize in this advanced dental technique.

Before starting the extraction, the dentist numbs the area with anesthesia to ensure your comfort and alleviate any potential pain or discomfort. A specialized tool called an elevator is then used to carefully loosen the tooth from its socket in the gum tissue. While you may feel some pressure, the procedure should not be painful.

Once the tooth is sufficiently loosened, the dentist carefully removes it to avoid damaging surrounding tissues or neighboring teeth. In certain cases, especially if the tooth is difficult to extract or in a challenging position, the dentist may need to section the tooth into smaller pieces for easier removal.

After the extraction, the dentist may use stitches to close the surgical site, promoting optimal healing. These stitches help secure the gums in place as they heal, reducing the risk of complications and ensuring a smoother recovery process.

It’s essential to follow the dentist’s post-operative instructions closely after the procedure. This may include specific guidelines for oral care during the healing period and medications to manage any discomfort or swelling.
