Extractions

Extractions are a dental procedure that involves removing a tooth from its socket in the bone. This service is often necessary when a tooth has been damaged beyond repair by decay, infection, or trauma. Extractions can also be performed to eliminate overcrowding in the mouth, preparing it for orthodontic treatment. The procedure can be simple, involving the removal of a visible tooth, or surgical, which is more complex and used for teeth that are broken or not fully erupted. An extraction is usually performed under local anesthesia to reduce discomfort and can treat any area in the mouth where a problematic tooth is located.

Extractions in Orland Park, IL, are suitable for individuals with severe tooth decay, broken teeth, or teeth causing overcrowding. The extraction results are immediate in removing the problematic tooth, but healing can take several days to a few weeks. The long-term results depend on the individual’s oral hygiene and dental care routine. Generally, the benefits of extraction are long-lasting, providing relief from pain and preventing further dental issues.
