You have just been told you need a tooth extraction and are overwhelmed with questions and concerns. You might worry about pain during the procedure, how your smile will look, or tooth replacement afterward.
When Extraction Is Necessary
Preserving natural teeth is always our priority; however, sometimes extraction is the healthiest choice. Dr. Freeman may recommend tooth removal for:
- Severe decay or damage beyond repair
- Advanced gum disease has loosened teeth
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Wisdom teeth are causing crowding
- In preparation for orthodontic treatment
- Creating space for dental implants or dentures
Your Comfort During the Procedure
Dr. Freeman uses advanced technology to plan your treatment and extraction techniques that minimize trauma to surrounding tissues. Your extraction procedure begins with strong local anesthesia to ensure you feel no pain. For anxious patients or complex cases, we offer IV sedation that creates a relaxed, dreamlike state.
Platelet-Rich Plasma
In many cases, Dr. Freeman applies PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy. This revolutionary technique uses your body's own healing factors to speed recovery. He may also recommend socket preservation therapy to help prevent bone loss, maintain the shape of the jawbone, and enable future dental implant placement.
Post-Extraction Care
After your extraction, our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. We're also available to answer questions as you heal.
