Tooth Extraction

Experience the Best Treatment for Painless Tooth Extraction with Dr. Priya Joshi.

Tooth extraction, also known as tooth removal, A tooth extraction is a dental procedure during which your tooth is completely removed from its socket. Removal of a tooth is advised when there are no options left to save the natural teeth and extraction is required to maintain overall oral health. Tooth extraction may be required for many reasons. If you have advanced periodontal disease or serious tooth decay, your dentist may prescribe tooth extraction.

Dr. Priya Joshi, renowned as the Best Tooth Extraction Doctor in Indore, may recommend tooth removal in cases of extensive decay or damage where root canal treatment is not viable.

  • To remove the tooth, we will first open up your dental socket and gently rock the tooth until it becomes loose enough to be removed.

Why would you need tooth extraction services?

Some of the top causes of tooth extractions include:
  • Deep decay: Approximately two-thirds of all tooth extractions are still performed for this reason. It remains the most common cause of extractions. When decay affects a tooth's pulp as well as its surface, root canal therapy is not an option. Only teeth with a healthy overall structure are suitable for root canal therapy.
  • Extra Teeth: There are many reasons for extra teeth, but the most common is that they’re baby teeth that haven’t fallen out yet. The extra teeth take up arch space, causing adjacent teeth to twist. In this case, tooth extraction is necessary to provide enough space for the teeth to align correctly.
  • Periodontal disease: Teeth are often removed because the gum tissue and surrounding bone have deteriorated to the point where they are no longer able to hold the tooth firmly in place. Bone and gum recession are almost always the result of advanced periodontal diseases. Because the bone density is low, the likelihood of regrowing the original tooth is low.
  • Fractured teeth: Fortunately, with root canal treatment, dentists are able to save damaged teeth most of the time. However, there are times when a tooth has broken so badly that it’s impossible to get it back. In most cases, your oral surgeon will extract the tooth and use a prosthesis to replace it.

What is socket preservation?

The deep explanation of socket preservation by the Best Tooth Extraction Doctor in Indore (Madhya Pradesh)

After a tooth extraction, there will be an empty “socket” where the tooth was. If the socket isn’t stimulated regularly, the bone that supports the tooth will start to resorb and become thin and shallow. This can be a problem when considering treatment options to fill the gap with partial dentures bridges, or dental implants. Socket preservation is the process of reducing bone shrinkage by preserving the bone’s depth and height to improve outcomes for a future dental implant, denture, or bridge.

How does socket preservation work?

After removing the tooth, the socket is filled with bone graft material. We use NuOss bone graft material at Teeth & More, which is a naturally occurring porous bone mineral matrix created by extracting all organic material from the cow (or bovine) bone.NuOs are chemically and physically similar to the mineralized matrix of human bone due to their natural structure.

The bone graft material will integrate into the jaw bone structure and harden over time, providing a strong enough base for the implantation of implants, bridges, and dentures in the future.

A collagen membrane is positioned on top of the bone graft material after it has been inserted to cover it and promote proper gum tissue healing. In the socket, the collagen membrane is sutured.

There are various benefits to keeping the socket intact following tooth extraction:

  • It keeps the bone from shrinking and preserves the horizontal structure of the face bones.
  • Less bone and gum loss means that a replacement denture or reline is less likely to be required.
  • Lower gap creation below a bridge’s pontic, the section that replaces a lost tooth.
  • Greater bone height and depth improve the prognosis for dental implant placement and reduce the need for more bone grafting in the future.
  • Having bone grafting done right away instead of waiting until the socket has healed and shrunk saves six months of healing time.

The Advantages of Tooth Extraction

There are several benefits of tooth extraction by the Best Dentist in Indore, Dr. Priya Joshi:

  • It kills bacteria that can cause tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Tooth extractions can reduce pain almost instantly, especially when a tooth is broken or infected.
  • Optimal oral health is best achieved by removing the affected tooth.

Tooth Extraction Aftercare by Doctor Priya Joshi

  • Your dentist will provide you with a comprehensive set of post-operative instructions after your extraction. The following general recommendations should help you heal quickly.
  • Clean the extraction site: Rinse the area gently with mouthwash twice or three times daily. Do not brush directly over your extraction area until your dentist advises you to. All other areas should be brushed and flossed as normal.
  • All medications should be taken as directed by your dentist. Antibiotics and pain medications may also be prescribed by your dentist. Always take all medications exactly as prescribed. You may also take over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers like acetaminophen (commonly known as Tylenol) and Ibuprofen.
  • Don’t do anything strenuous for two days. A high heart rate can lead to bleeding and pain after surgery. For the first 48–72 hours, don’t go to the gym. Talk to your dentist about when you can go back to your normal routine.
