At Stamford Green Dental, we understand that removing a tooth is sometimes necessary to protect your overall oral health. Whether it’s due to severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or impacted wisdom teeth, our team provides safe, comfortable, and stress-free tooth extractions using modern techniques and anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.
Tooth extractions may be recommended for various reasons, including:
✅ Severe Tooth Decay or Damage – When a tooth is too damaged to be restored with fillings or crowns.
✅ Advanced Gum Disease – If periodontal disease has weakened the tooth’s supporting structures.
✅ Tooth Infection – If an infection spreads and cannot be treated with a root canal.
✅ Overcrowding – Sometimes, teeth need to be removed to make space for orthodontic treatment.
✅ Impacted Wisdom Teeth – Wisdom teeth that do not emerge properly can cause pain, swelling, and infection.
✅ Broken or Fractured Teeth – If a fracture extends below the gumline, extraction may be necessary.
If you are experiencing severe tooth pain, swelling, or difficulty chewing, an extraction might be the best solution to relieve discomfort and protect your oral health.
🔹 Simple Extractions – Performed on visible teeth that can be easily removed with minimal discomfort.
🔹 Surgical Extractions – Required for impacted or broken teeth, often including wisdom teeth removal.
🔹 Emergency Extractions – For sudden pain, infection, or dental trauma, we provide same-day or urgent care.
At Stamford Green Dental, we prioritize patient comfort and safety throughout the procedure:
1️⃣ Comprehensive Examination – We assess your tooth and surrounding area with digital X-rays.
2️⃣ Anesthesia & Sedation Options – We ensure a pain-free experience with local anesthesia and optional sedation.
3️⃣ Tooth Removal – Using gentle techniques, we carefully extract the tooth while minimizing discomfort.
4️⃣ Post-Procedure Care – We provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote fast and smooth healing.
5️⃣ Tooth Replacement Options – If necessary, we discuss dental implants, bridges, or dentures to restore your smile.
Recovery is typically quick, with minimal discomfort that can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and home care. Some key aftercare tips include:
✔ Avoid drinking through straws or smoking for the first 24 hours.
✔ Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing on the extraction site.
✔ Keep the area clean by gently rinsing with warm salt water after 24 hours.
✔ Follow all post-care instructions provided by our dental team.
