Understanding Tooth & Wisdom Tooth Extraction
- Tooth Extraction: This procedure involves removing a tooth that is severely damaged, decayed, or infected beyond repair and cannot be saved with other treatments like root canals or crowns.
- Wisdom Teeth Extraction: Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often emerge during the late teens or early twenties. They can cause complications due to lack of space, leading to impaction, pain, infection, or misalignment of other teeth.
Why Choose Extraction?
- Relieve Pain & Discomfort: Extracting a problematic tooth can immediately alleviate pain and discomfort, allowing you to resume your daily activities.
- Prevent Infection Spread: Removing an infected tooth prevents infection from spreading to surrounding teeth and tissues.
- Improve Oral Health: Extracting impacted or overcrowded teeth can help prevent future dental problems and improve your overall oral health.
- Create Space for Orthodontic Treatment: In some cases, tooth extraction may be necessary to create space for orthodontic treatment, such as braces or Invisalign.
The Extraction Process: Your Comfort is Our Priority
At Orchards Smiles Dental, we strive to make your extraction experience as smooth and comfortable as possible:
- Consultation & Examination: We’ll thoroughly evaluate your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss your concerns to determine the best approach for your extraction.
- Anesthesia & Sedation: We’ll ensure your comfort throughout the procedure with local anesthesia to numb the area. We also offer sedation options for patients with dental anxiety.
- Gentle Extraction: We’ll carefully loosen and remove the tooth, minimizing any trauma to surrounding tissues. In cases of impacted wisdom teeth, a small incision may be necessary.
- Aftercare & Healing: We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and any necessary medications to manage discomfort and promote optimal healing.

FAQs About Tooth & Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Tooth extractions are typically recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, or infected and cannot be saved through treatments like fillings, crowns, or root canals. Wisdom teeth often require removal if they are impacted, causing pain, or threatening the alignment of other teeth.
No. At Orchards Smiles Dental, we prioritize your comfort. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area completely. For patients with dental anxiety, we also offer sedation options to ensure a pain-free and stress-free experience
After the procedure, you may experience mild swelling and discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and may prescribe medication to help manage pain and promote healing. Sticking to soft foods and avoiding strenuous activities can speed up recovery.
The duration depends on the complexity of the extraction. A simple tooth extraction usually takes about 20 to 40 minutes, while impacted wisdom teeth may take longer. During your consultation, our dentist will provide a personalized time estimate based on your specific case.
If wisdom teeth are left untreated, they can cause a range of issues, including pain, infection, overcrowding, damage to adjacent teeth, and even cysts around the tooth. Timely removal can help prevent these complications and improve your oral health.
