Extractions
Tooth Extractions In South Elgin, IL
Extractions are seen as the last resort when the tooth cannot be saved by any other procedure, such as filling or root canal. Therefore, regular maintenance and checkups are recommended so that cavities can be detected timely and can be filled right away. We, at the Thornwood Family Dental, do not take the decision to extract a tooth lightly, but, severely decayed teeth cannot be saved and must be removed as they are a source of infection. Tooth fillings and dental crowns help to save the tooth and prolong its life.
Our highly skilled dentists carefully extract teeth under local anesthesia, ensuring that it is a pain-free and comfortable procedure for the patient. All extractions are done by following all aseptic measures. All post-op instructions and medicines are prescribed to the patient.
If Dr. Zoya Zamir suggests a tooth to be extracted at our South Elgin, IL location, you should have full faith in her as this would be the best possible treatment plan for you. Rest assured, all treatment plans are discussed in detail with the patient for their approval. Patients are walked through the process of extraction before the procedure is carried out.
Scenarios when tooth extractions might be suggested:
There are several circumstances where we may recommend tooth extraction:
- A severely decayed or damaged tooth not salvageable by conservative measures such as a filling or crown
- Aggressive gum disease leads to severe bone loss that leads to tooth mobility. Removal of such teeth is imminent.
- Removal of one or more teeth, as a part of the treatment plan, for getting dentures.
- Extraction of impacted wisdom teeth.
- Extraction of teeth before the start of orthodontic (braces) treatment.
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Wisdom tooth pain is the worst nightmare for any patient. Extracting wisdom teeth requires a lot of skills and experience. Our highly skilled dentists, with the help of the Cone Beam CT imaging, can extract your wisdom tooth by reducing the chances of damage to the nerves. Wisdom tooth extraction has never been so hassle-free!
Post op. instructions and medicines are provided by our team to ensure that your recovery period is short and quick. However, for complete healing, we recommend that you take some time off after the procedure so that you recover completely. Basic instructions such as having soft and cold foods, no smoking, or drinking with a straw, must be followed religiously for a couple of days to prevent the clot formed at the extraction site from dislodging.
