Get Rid of Your Toothache

End Your Discomfort

We’ll always attempt to save your damaged tooth with a root canal or a restoration, if possible. However, a tooth can become so damaged or diseased that saving it isn’t possible. You can count on the experienced team at Charlotte Dentistry to honestly assess your situation and remove your tooth if necessary.

We fully numb the area we’re working on to make sure that you don’t feel any discomfort. If necessary, you can receive inhaled sedation or oral sedation. Both will keep you relaxed and comfortable throughout your procedure.

Leave With a Full Smile

After your tooth is removed, we’ll replace it as soon as possible. Leaving gaps in your smile can lead to losing the surrounding bone. Plus, your other teeth can shift positions over time and cause your bite to become misaligned. Your dentist can replace your tooth with a fixed bridge that anchors to nearby teeth.

Or you can have an implant-crown combination. After an implant is placed where your tooth was, it will function as a base for a new crown, giving you a sturdy replacement tooth. Unlike a standard bridge, this tooth replacement keeps you from suffering bone loss near the extraction site. For more extensive tooth replacement, we can provide conventional dentures, implant bridges, and implant dentures. Your dentist will review which option is right for your dental needs.

If you need tooth removal in Charlotte, call us today at 704-285-0846 to schedule an appointment. You can also schedule online.

Common Questions About Tooth Removal / Extractions

What is a tooth extraction procedure like?

We begin a tooth extraction procedure by numbing your mouth with a local anesthetic. You can also choose between two different forms of dental sedation to ease your anxiety and calm your nerves if you’d like. Once the surgery is complete, we will place gauze in the extraction site. You will bite down on it for a short time to stop the bleeding.

What happens after a tooth extraction?

Once you’re back home and the bleeding has stopped, you can replace the gauze and begin the healing process over the next few days. We will send you home with thorough post-op instructions that give detailed steps about oral hygiene and diet during recovery. We can also provide a prescription for pain medication, if needed, to reduce any discomfort you might experience in the first few days.

How long does it take to heal after a tooth removal procedure?

For most types of extractions, you can expect the site to heal within seven to 10 days. You actually play a role in how quickly you heal, however. We’ll give you complete aftercare instructions for you to follow. The closer you stick to these guidelines, the quicker and more comfortable your healing period will be.

What foods can I eat after a tooth extraction?

After a tooth extraction, you’ll need to gradually reintroduce solid foods into your diet to allow proper healing. Stick to soft, cold foods for the first 24-48 hours, and avoid hot, spicy, crunchy, or chewy foods that can irritate the extraction site. Over the next week, you should be able to return to your regular diet, starting with semi-soft foods and progressing to your normal selections as the extraction site heals. Most people can resume their usual diet within 1-2 weeks, but always follow your dentist’s specific instructions for optimal recovery.
