Tooth Extractions
While our adult teeth are intended to last the rest of our lives, sometimes having your tooth removed is necessary to maintain your oral health. The Colorado Dental Wellness Center team will always try to save your teeth through restorative treatment, such as a root canal, inlay, onlay, or other procedure. However, we understand a tooth may need to be extracted for a variety of reasons, such as:
- Crowded teeth
- Dental infections
- Severe dental trauma
- Loosened teeth due to periodontal (gum) disease
- Risk of infection due to a compromised immune system
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A TOOTH EXTRACTION
For gentle tooth extractions, call Colorado Dental Wellness Center. Our dentist will perform an oral exam and take X-rays to assess your tooth’s condition and determine the best course of treatment. If our dentist decides that extraction is necessary, your extraction will be scheduled. In cases of dental emergencies, we may be able to perform the extraction in one same-day appointment.
First, our dentist will prepare your mouth for the procedure. Next, they will administer local anesthetic to the extraction site, numbing your tooth and the surrounding area and minimizing your potential discomfort. For your comfort, we may recommend laughing gas, oral sedation, or IV sedation to put you at ease throughout your procedure.
WE ALSO OFFER CLINICAL HYPNOSIS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO INHALED SEDATION.
Our dentist is an approved consultant with the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. Anxiety around dental work can be conquered, and we love playing a part in that journey!
Once you are comfortable, our dentist will gently and effectively remove your tooth. Our dentist will then prescribe antibiotics and pain relievers, as well as postoperative care instructions. Be sure to follow these instructions to ensure that your recovery is as comfortable as possible.
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
At Colorado Dental Wellness Center, we understand that wisdom teeth removal and tooth extraction can sound unpleasant. Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often appear in late adolescence or early adulthood. Sometimes, they have insufficient space to grow properly, leading to what dentists call impacted wisdom teeth.
This can cause discomfort and pain in the gum tissue and even affect nearby teeth, sometimes leading to gum disease. Whether you’re experiencing pain from an impacted wisdom tooth or need wisdom teeth removed for orthodontic reasons, our team is here to help. With skilled dentists and oral surgeons, Colorado Dental Wellness Center offers a safe and comfortable environment for wisdom teeth extraction.
Are you in pain from your wisdom teeth? Are they shifting your other teeth around them because they don’t have enough room? Call us today at (720) 538-8898 to schedule your wisdom teeth removal consultation.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
- Pain in and around your wisdom teeth.
- Infection in your gum tissue.
- Crowding of nearby teeth.
- Food particles get stuck around your tooth, leading to a gum abscess.
- Damage to your surrounding teeth or your jawbone from impacted wisdom teeth.
- Cyst growth around your impacted wisdom tooth, potentially causing more severe problems.
- Tooth decay is prevalent if wisdom teeth are only partially exposed.
- Shifting of teeth resulting in orthodontic issues like crowded teeth or misalignment.
Do you have Impacted Wisdom Teeth?
Impacted wisdom teeth occur when your wisdom tooth cannot fully emerge through your gum line. This often happens because your tooth develops at an improper angle, pressing against the jawbone or adjacent teeth. When wisdom teeth become impacted, they can lead to uncomfortable and potentially serious issues, including sharp pain, noticeable swelling, and even the infection of surrounding gum tissue.
At Colorado Dental Wellness Center, we pride ourselves on having an expert dentist specializing in diagnosing and treating such problems. Our patient-centered approach provides relief and solutions tailored to each individual’s needs. In individuals experiencing symptoms from an impacted wisdom tooth, seeking professional advice is crucial, as it may necessitate oral and maxillofacial surgery for safe and effective removal.
Fortunately, our local dental clinic has the tools and expertise to perform oral surgeries and tooth extractions on-site. This means our patients can receive comprehensive care under one roof without the inconvenience of being referred to specialists elsewhere.
Our goal is to ensure you receive the highest standard of dental care, with minimal discomfort and recovery time, so that you can return to your daily life as soon as possible.
