Expert Tooth Removal Services
When a damaged or infected tooth threatens your oral health, professional extraction becomes necessary. Dr. Charles J. Pybus performs gentle tooth removals using modern techniques that prioritize patient comfort. Our Amarillo dental office handles both routine and complex extractions with precision and care.
Benefits of Professional Tooth Extraction
Removing problematic teeth prevents infection from spreading to surrounding tissues and bone. Pain relief often occurs immediately after extracting severely decayed or damaged teeth. Professional extraction eliminates chronic discomfort that interferes with eating and sleeping. The procedure also creates space for proper healing and potential tooth replacement options.
- Prevents further oral health complications
- Eliminates persistent tooth pain
- Prepares mouth for restorative treatments
What to Expect During Your Extraction Procedure
Our experienced dentist will begin your extraction with local anesthesia to numb the treatment area completely. Specialized instruments gently loosen the tooth from surrounding ligaments before careful removal. Simple extractions typically take 15 to 30 minutes, while surgical extractions may require additional time. Post-procedure instructions ensure proper healing and minimize discomfort during recovery in Amarillo, Texas.
Replacing Missing Teeth
After your extraction, our dentist may recommend options to replace missing teeth. Missing teeth can eventually cause problems for your oral health, such as bone loss and tooth shifting and misalignment. Replacing these teeth helps preserve your smile and oral function, and if you receive a dental implant to replace the missing tooth will also help prevent bone loss and the need for bone grafting. Common tooth replacement options include dental bridges, dental implants, and complete and partial dentures.
