Extractions

Tooth extraction is sometimes necessary when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed beyond repair, or causing crowding or infection. At Smiles Tampa, our experienced dentists and oral surgeons perform extractions using advanced techniques that minimize discomfort and promote rapid healing. We specialize in both simple extractions of visible teeth and surgical extractions of impacted wisdom teeth or broken teeth. Before any extraction, we thoroughly evaluate your situation and discuss all possible alternatives to ensure extraction is the best option. We use effective local anesthesia and offer sedation options for anxious patients or complex cases. Our gentle technique and precise surgical skills result in minimal trauma to surrounding tissues. After extraction, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and are available for any concerns during healing. We also discuss tooth replacement options like dental implants or bridges to restore function and prevent bone loss. Most patients heal completely within 1-2 weeks and experience far less discomfort than anticipated.
