Tooth Extractions Service
While our primary goal at Long Island Bright Dental is to help you preserve your natural teeth, there are situations where a tooth extraction becomes the most appropriate course of action to protect your overall oral health. Our experienced dental team provides gentle and efficient tooth extraction services, prioritizing your comfort and ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience.
Tooth extractions involve the careful and complete removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While we always explore all other options first, extractions may be necessary in various circumstances. Our extraction services include:

You might need a tooth extraction for various reasons, including severe decay or infection that cannot be treated, a fractured tooth beyond repair, impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or complications, or as part of an orthodontic treatment plan to create space for proper alignment.
No, the tooth extraction procedure itself should not be painful. We will thoroughly numb the area with local anesthesia before starting. You may feel some pressure during the extraction, but you should not feel any sharp pain.
The initial healing period typically lasts about 1-2 weeks. During this time, you may experience some swelling, mild discomfort, and possibly some bruising. Following our post-operative instructions carefully will help ensure a smooth and faster recovery.
Following our post-operative instructions is crucial. This typically includes applying ice packs to reduce swelling, taking prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication as needed, eating soft foods, avoiding strenuous activity, and carefully following instructions for rinsing and oral hygiene.
Depending on the location and number of missing teeth, several replacement options are available, including dental implants, bridges, and partial dentures. We will discuss these options with you after the extraction to help you choose the best solution for your needs and smile.
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. However, if wisdom teeth are impacted, erupting improperly, causing crowding, are difficult to clean, or are prone to infection, extraction is often recommended to prevent future problems. Our dentists will evaluate your wisdom teeth and advise you on the best course of action.
