Tooth Extractions in Paradise, NV
If there were a way to save every damaged or diseased tooth, we would. Unfortunately, things don’t always go as we hope, and sometimes the only option is tooth extraction.
Extractions are one of the many services Dr. Simon Tsang commonly performs as a general dentist. We can take care of most tooth extractions at our comfortable dental office, including impacted wisdom teeth.
Dr. Simon Tsang and the team at Russell Dental know how difficult it can be to hear that you need to have a tooth removed, whatever the circumstance. You can rely on us to provide compassionate, supportive treatment and ensure your procedure is comfortable and stress-free.
Reasons for Tooth Extraction
Our dentist commonly recommends tooth extraction in the following situations:
- A decayed tooth is damaged beyond repair.
- An infected or abscessed tooth cannot be saved with root canal treatment.
- A tooth broke off below the gumline and must be removed.
- Wisdom teeth crowd surrounding teeth and put them at risk.
- An impacted wisdom tooth must be removed.
Sometimes, removing a tooth is necessary when planning other procedures, such as dentures, dental implants, or orthodontic treatment.
Stress-Free Tooth Extraction
Feeling apprehensive about tooth extraction is understandable. Losing a tooth for any reason impacts your life and may stir up many feelings. Our caring dental team will provide whatever support and encouragement you need so that you can focus on your recovery and a healthier smile.
Dr. Tsang plans your tooth removal using an advanced 3-D cone beam CT scan to determine the precise location of the tooth’s roots and surrounding structures. Planning your procedure allows him to work most efficiently so you can get out of the dental chair faster.
Before we begin, we will thoroughly numb the area using a powerful local anesthetic to ensure that you have a pain-free experience. Dr. Tsang then efficiently removes the tooth, and our dental team will instruct you on post-extraction care and recovery at home.
We Remove Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are a holdover from our ancestors. They needed the extra chewing power to process a diet of coarse twigs, leaves, and hard nuts. Processed foods did away with the need for all that chewing power, and as we've evolved, our jaws have are also smaller.
The result is that there’s not typically enough space in the jaw for wisdom teeth to come in properly. These teeth commonly crowd existing teeth, come in at odd angles, or become impacted or stuck in the gums.
Dr. Tsang commonly recommends removing wisdom teeth and impacted wisdom teeth for our Henderson and Las Vegas patients. Using sophisticated diagnostics and imaging, he identifies the location and position of the impacted tooth and removes it with minimal trauma.
