What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is a routine dental procedure performed to remove a damaged, decayed, or infected tooth that cannot be restored. Our goal is always to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. However, when removal is necessary, we ensure your experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Using advanced tools and gentle techniques, our team provides the best tooth extraction in Leander with precision, care, and compassion.

What Is Wisdom Tooth Removal?

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often emerge in your late teens or early twenties and can cause pain, crowding, or infection if they don’t have enough room to grow properly. Our experienced team provides the best wisdom teeth removal in Leander, ensuring safe, efficient, and comfortable extraction, whether your wisdom teeth are erupted, partially impacted, or fully impacted. We use modern imaging and surgical technology to ensure predictable, comfortable results and faster healing.

Signs You May Need a Tooth Removed

Tooth extraction or wisdom tooth removal may be recommended if you experience:

Severe tooth pain or infection that cannot be treated with a root canal
Extensive decay or damage beyond repair
Impacted wisdom teeth that are causing pain, swelling, or misalignment
Advanced gum disease that loosens the tooth’s support
Overcrowding or misalignment before orthodontic treatment
Tooth fractures below the gum line

What Happens During a Tooth Extraction or Wisdom Tooth Removal?

We prioritize your comfort, pain control, and safety at every stage of treatment.

Before the Procedure

Your dentist will perform a comprehensive oral exam, take digital X-rays, and discuss sedation and anesthesia options to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience.

DURING the Procedure

For simple extractions, the tooth is gently loosened and removed with specialized instruments. For surgical extractions or impacted wisdom teeth, small incisions may be made to remove the tooth with minimal disruption to the surrounding tissue, safely. Our modern approach ensures accuracy and faster healing.

AFTER THE PROCEDUre

Once the tooth is removed, the area is cleaned, and stitches may be placed if necessary. You’ll be given detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up guidance to promote smooth recovery and protect the site from infection.

Aftercare Instructions for Tooth Extraction

Proper care after extraction helps your mouth heal quickly and comfortably. Here’s how to ensure a smooth recovery:

Keep gentle pressure on the gauze pad for 30 to 45 minutes after the procedure.
Avoid rinsing, smoking, or drinking through a straw for 24 hours to protect the blood clot.
Eat soft foods and stay hydrated.
Apply an ice pack to reduce swelling.
Take prescribed medication or over-the-counter pain relievers as directed.
Rinse with warm salt water after 24 hours to keep the area clean.
Attend your follow-up appointment to ensure optimal healing.

If you experience prolonged bleeding, swelling, or discomfort, call us immediately for care from the best family dentist in Leander.
