Tooth Extractions in Riverview, FL | Omni Dental Studio
Tooth Extractions
Gentle, comfortable removal when a tooth cannot be saved.
While we always strive to save natural teeth whenever possible, sometimes a tooth extraction is the best option for your overall oral health. At Omni Dental Studio, we perform extractions with the utmost care and gentleness, ensuring you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
When Is an Extraction Necessary?
Extractions may be recommended for teeth that are severely decayed or damaged beyond repair, teeth causing crowding for orthodontic treatment, baby teeth that haven't fallen out naturally, or teeth affected by advanced gum disease.
The Extraction Process
Before the extraction, we thoroughly numb the area with local anesthesia so you feel no pain — only pressure. Dr. Merchi will gently loosen and remove the tooth. The entire procedure is typically quick and straightforward.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients recover comfortably within a few days. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions including how to manage any discomfort, what to eat, and how to care for the extraction site to promote healing and prevent dry socket.
Tooth Replacement Options
After an extraction, we'll discuss tooth replacement options to restore your smile and prevent bone loss. Options include dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures, depending on your needs and goals.
