Tooth Extractions Jersey City, NJ

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is carefully removed from its socket in the jawbone. At Riverside Holistic Dentistry, we prioritize preserving your natural teeth whenever possible. However, certain situations may make extraction the best course of action for restoring your oral health. After the procedure, our dentist will work with you to explore options for replacing the tooth, ensuring your smile remains functional and beautiful.

When Tooth Extraction is Required

There are several reasons why a tooth extraction may be necessary:

  • Severe tooth decay or damage that cannot be repaired with a filling or crown is a common cause.
  • Similarly, a serious infection that compromises the tooth and surrounding bone may require removal to prevent further health complications.
  • Tooth extraction is also often needed in cases of dental crowding, particularly before orthodontic treatment, to create adequate space for proper alignment.
  • Impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth that are unable to emerge correctly, are another common reason for extractions.

Our skilled dental team takes great care to make the extraction process as comfortable as possible. We use advanced techniques and local anesthesia to minimize discomfort and ensure you feel at ease throughout the procedure. For those with dental anxiety or undergoing more complex extractions, we also offer sedation options for a stress-free experience.

Post-Op Care

After your tooth is extracted, we will provide you with clear, detailed aftercare instructions. Proper care during the healing period is crucial for preventing complications such as infection or dry socket. Instructions typically include gentle rinsing, avoiding certain foods and maintaining oral hygiene while protecting the surgical site.
