If you’re in Boca Raton or Boynton Beach, FL, and need a tooth extraction, Dr. Navid Baradarian provides expert care to address various dental needs, such as severe decay, injury, or overcrowding. Dr. Baradarian ensures that each extraction procedure is as comfortable and efficient as possible, offering guidance on tooth replacement options and supporting your overall dental health.
Tooth extractions may be recommended for several reasons, including:
Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is extensively damaged by decay and cannot be restored with a filling or crown.
Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease can cause the supporting structures of a tooth to deteriorate, making extraction necessary.
Impacted Teeth: Teeth that are stuck or not emerging properly, such as wisdom teeth, may need to be removed.
Crowding: To make space for other teeth, particularly when preparing for orthodontic treatment.
Infection: If a tooth is severely infected and other treatments, like root canal therapy, are not viable.
1. Initial Consultation: During your consultation, Dr. Navid Baradarian will conduct a thorough examination and review your medical history to determine the need for extraction. Diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, will be used to assess the tooth and surrounding structures.
2. Procedure Planning: We will discuss the extraction process with you, including any necessary preparations. Our team will explain the steps involved and address any concerns you may have.
3. Tooth Extraction: The extraction procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free. For more complex extractions, such as impacted wisdom teeth, sedation options may be available to help you relax during the procedure.
4. Post-Extraction Care: After the tooth is removed, we will provide detailed instructions on how to care for the extraction site to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. This may include recommendations for pain management, oral hygiene, and dietary modifications.
5. Replacement Options: We will discuss options for replacing the extracted tooth, such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures, to restore function and aesthetics to your smile.
