Get you Tooth Pulled near Bluffdale, Utah

While tooth pulling is a last resort, and we will do everything we can to preserve your natural teeth, sometimes saving a tooth isn’t an option due to severe decay, damage, infection or crowding. Our tooth extraction service focuses on making the process as painless and stress-free as possible, with expert care that puts your comfort first every step.

If tooth extraction is needed, we offer a variety of restorative options to replace missing teeth, including dental implants, crowns and bridges.

01.

The Tooth Extraction Procedure

After reviewing your oral health needs, if tooth extraction is the only option, we will go through the process before your treatment.

To begin, we will numb the targeted area with local anesthesia. If you choose sedation to help with anxiety, we will also administer the recommended sedation.

The targeted tooth is loosened and then removed comfortably. Once the tooth is pulled, we place gauze in the area to manage bleeding and provide aftercare instructions.

02.

Following Your Tooth Extraction

We will give you helpful information for managing pain and swelling, as well as tips for taking care of the extraction site to prevent dry socket.

Please be sure to fully follow our instructions to avoid delayed healing and other oral health issues.

FAQ

    Severe decay, infection, injury or overcrowding are the main culprits that can make extraction the best option for your oral health.
