Eliminate Discomfort & Protect Your Grin
Extracting a tooth is never a dentist’s first choice. We’d rather you keep your natural teeth whenever possible! However, if we find it necessary for one or more teeth to be removed, there’s no better place to have it done. Dr. Lorraine Hanna has been treating patients for over 30 years, which means you can have your procedure performed by someone whose experience you can trust. Here is how it will work:
- Thorough Exam – Dr. Hanna will X-ray your mouth, teeth, and gums to determine if a tooth extraction is the best solution to your dental issues. If possible, she’ll provide restorative care options such as a dental crown, root canal, or filling.
- Gentle Removal – If she determines an extraction is necessary, she’ll gently remove your tooth. She will numb the area first so you don’t feel a thing. She can also provide gentle sedation to help you remain calm and relaxed throughout the procedure.
- Care Instructions – Once your tooth is removed, the healing process will begin. Dr. Hanna will share instructions on how to protect the extraction area and tips on foods and activities to avoid.
- Tooth Replacement – After you’ve completely healed, it will be time to replace your missing tooth. Dr. Hanna will work with you on which option is best, such as a dental bridge. You may also consider dentures or dental implants.
