At Save Dental Orem, we prioritize your oral health and strive to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. However, in some cases, a tooth extraction may be the best option to protect your overall dental well-being. Our experienced dentists and team provide gentle, professional extractions to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Whether you need a simple removal or a more complex extraction, we are here to help.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extractions are typically recommended when a tooth is damaged beyond repair or poses a risk to surrounding teeth. Some common reasons for an extraction include severe tooth decay, advanced gum disease, impacted teeth, overcrowding or fractures that cannot be restored. Before recommending an extraction, our dentists will evaluate your oral health and explore all possible treatment options. If removal is necessary, we will develop a personalized plan to ensure a smooth procedure and comfortable recovery.
Comfortable and Efficient Extraction Process
Dr. Brady Sefcik and Dr. Michael Sefcik use advanced techniques to make the extraction process as comfortable as possible. We take the time to ensure that you are fully informed about your treatment and provide options to minimize discomfort. Our team uses modern dental technology to enhance precision and reduce healing time.
After your procedure, it is important to follow proper aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent complications. You should:
- Keep the extraction site clean and avoid rinsing too aggressively for the first 24 hours
- Apply ice packs as needed to reduce swelling and discomfort
- Follow a soft food diet to avoid irritating the area
- Avoid using straws and smoking to prevent dry socket
By following these steps, you can help ensure a smooth recovery process.
