At Washington Court House Dental, we are committed to saving your natural teeth. But sometimes, other restorative treatments<\/a>, such as dental fillings or dental crowns, aren’t enough. If your tooth has been severely damaged and nothing can be done to save it, <\/span>tooth remova<\/span>l may be necessary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> Tooth extraction<\/span> is the removal of a tooth from its socket or alveolus. There are two types of extraction procedures:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It’s essential to treat a dying or dead tooth as soon as possible because, left untreated, the bacteria from the dead tooth can spread and lead to the loss of additional teeth. It could also affect your jawbone and gums.<\/span><\/p>\n After <\/span>tooth extraction<\/span>, there are several ways to replace your missing teeth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Tooth removal<\/a><\/span> is done under anesthesia, so you won’t experience any pain during the procedure. However, you can expect a certain amount of pain, discomfort, and swelling following an extraction. We may prescribe or recommend a painkiller, and applying an ice pack to your cheek can help reduce swelling.<\/span><\/p>\n Recovery after tooth extraction<\/span> usually takes a few days. Follow these steps to ensure your recovery goes smoothly:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The tooth removal cost<\/span> varies depending on several factors, such as how complicated the procedure is. A simple extraction usually costs between $75 and $200 per tooth, but the cost to remove impacted teeth is significantly higher and can land anywhere between $800 and $4,000. However, dental insurance typically covers this cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At Washington Court House Dental<\/a>, our goal is always to preserve your existing teeth as long as possible, and we will consider all options to achieve a healthy smile before recommending an extraction. For a painless, safe, and the most comfortable <\/span>tooth extraction<\/span>,<\/span> contact us today<\/span><\/a> to schedule an appointment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>What is a Tooth Extraction?<\/span><\/h2>\n
