Tooth Extractions
If you practice good oral health, then you know how just a few minutes of attention to your teeth and gums can make them look amazing; and feel amazing, as well.
Still, even with our best efforts, sometimes it is necessary to have a tooth extracted.
It might sound scary and painful, but we assure you, it's not! At Wamego Dental Center, we make sure all our dental procedures are reliable and effective.
Why Do I Need My Tooth Extracted?
There are a few reasons our general dentists might recommend a teeth extraction, including:
- Severe gum disease
- Advanced tooth decay
- Broken or cracked tooth we cannot repair
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- To prepare for braces
Losing a tooth can be intimidating, plus it can affect how you eat and speak. But removing a tooth can be very easy and straightforward (and painless).
Once our dentists have examined you and determined that dental extraction is necessary, we'll continue making sure you are comfortable and relaxed. At Wamego Dental Center, we will do everything in our power to make sure your dental procedure goes smoothly. Many patients tell us that it's no more painful than a cavity.
We Provide Gentle Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Wisdom teeth are usually the last to arrive to the party, and since they show up so late, there often isn't space for them. Since we don't want the rest of your teeth to be damaged, we think it's just safer to remove them.
Healing is usually quick, with little pain or discomfort. We advise soft foods for a short time—just a day or two! In the meantime, avoid smoking or drinking through straws so your area can heal properly.
Reliable Tooth Extractions in Wamego, KS
Our gentle, experienced dentists make any dental procedure pain-free. We use powerful anesthetics to numb your mouth, so no discomfort is felt, just some pressure.
Patients with dental anxiety might need a little more TLC. We provide effective nitrous oxide to help you relax during the procedure without any lingering, drowsy effects.
We also offer oral sedation for patients with deeper stress and anxiety. Patients take the prescribed sedative an hour before the procedure so that you feel nothing but relaxed. Since the oral sedation will last for several hours, patients need a driver after the appointment.
Your Tooth Replacement Options
Dental extractions might only have one or two methods for surgery, but there are multiple options for tooth replacement. We offer dental bridges, dental implants, and dentures to allow patients to carry on with their busy lives.
For patients who don't want their tooth replacement to shift or change how they fit, we offer dental implants or dental implant-supported prosthetics.
