Gentle, Expert Tooth Extractions from Rochester’s Trusted Dental Team
At Beach Perio, Implants & Medspa in Rochester, NY, we can help when tooth extraction is the best choice for your oral health.
What Is an Extraction?
A tooth extraction is a surgical procedure done to remove a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. Dr. Julie Beach handles this procedure with precision and care to ensure minimal discomfort and a smooth recovery.
When Is Tooth Extraction Needed?
While our primary goal is always to preserve your natural teeth, there are situations where extraction becomes necessary. Tooth extraction may be recommended if:
- A tooth has severe decay or damage and cannot be effectively restored with other dental treatments.
- A tooth is impacted or only partially erupted from the gums and is causing oral health problems.
- A tooth is severely infected and cannot be treated so must be removed to prevent the spread of infection to other teeth.
The Benefits of Tooth Extraction
- Alleviating tooth, gum, or jaw pain.
- Preventing infections or decay.
- Reducing harmful bacteria in your mouth.
- Preventing teeth from overcrowding.
Enhancing Healing With PRF and Bone Grafting
To ensure the best possible recovery, we may recommend additional treatments following an extraction.
- A bone graft preserves the strength and shape of your jawbone, preventing bone loss and creating a stable foundation for future treatments, such as dental implants.
- Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), made from a small sample of your own blood, is placed directly into the extraction site. This natural method helps reduce swelling, speeds up healing, and protects the area as it recovers.
Together, PRF and bone grafting enhance healing and help you maintain a healthy, confident smile after an extraction.
