See your dentist to find out how you can quickly cure your smile.
The Extraction Procedure
- Dr. Bulzomi will administer an exam, including x-rays, to the patient. He will ask you about existing health conditions and medical history.
- If your results look good, you can discuss your procedure plan with your dentist. You might choose nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation to accompany your numbing anesthetic.
- When you come in for your procedure, our team will make sure you are content with your patient comforts and sedation choices. When you are relaxed and ready, Dr. Bulzomi will remove the tooth.
- If the tooth is visible, your dentist will remove it with a simple pull. If the tooth is below the gumline, it will be removed piece by piece through a small opening in the gums.
- After your extraction, take care of yourself. You can consume soft foods and liquids during this time. Use cold compresses to reduce pain and swelling. Your smile is now safer and healthier than it was before.
