Tooth Extraction – Caring Dental in Herndon, VA
At Caring Dental in Herndon, VA, we provide gentle and precise tooth extractions when a tooth is too damaged, infected, or impacted to be saved. Dr. Ahmad Hatahet uses the latest techniques to ensure your comfort and recovery.
When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extraction may be required due to severe decay, infection, trauma, or overcrowding. Wisdom teeth often need removal due to impaction or lack of space. In other cases, removing a tooth can be the first step toward orthodontic treatment or preparing for a dental implant or denture.
Caring Dental’s Comfortable Approach to Extractions
Dr. Hatahet prioritizes your comfort and safety during every extraction. Using digital X-rays, we evaluate your tooth and surrounding bone before the procedure. We offer local anesthesia and sedation options to ensure a painless and stress-free experience, even for complex cases like impacted wisdom teeth.
Healing and Restoring Your Smile After an Extraction
After the procedure, we’ll guide you through a smooth recovery with aftercare instructions tailored to your needs. We also offer replacement options such as dental implants, bridges, and dentures to restore function and appearance after healing.
