Tooth Extractions in Austin, TX

Tooth extractions are often necessary to protect your oral health, especially when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, or affected by advanced gum disease. Impacted teeth, like wisdom teeth, can cause pain and misalignment, making extraction the best solution. In some cases, extractions are needed to relieve overcrowding before orthodontic treatments. While typically a last resort, tooth extraction is crucial for preventing further complications and maintaining overall dental health.

You will receive anesthetic or sedation of your choosing when having this procedure done. Next, our doctor will use tools to remove the tooth out of its socket. The area may be sutured to keep it closed and promote quicker healing. We’ll give you a piece of gauze to bite down on and you’ll be instructed to remove it after about an hour. You’ll need to follow our aftercare instructions so that the area heals properly. If there are any post-op complications, contact us immediately so that we can get you in.
