Extractions

Tooth extraction does not have to have a negative experience. At Landreth Team Dentistry in Wichita our doctors can perform tooth extractions quickly and with minimal discomfort to treat a host of dental condition, including advanced gum disease. Patients suffering from broken, cracked, or excessively decay teeth will benefit from this simple and straightforward procedure.

The Extraction Process

During your procedure, your doctor will administer a local anesthetic to numb the surrounding area we’ll be treating.

You may feel a lot of pressure during your extraction procedure. This is normal and is caused by the removal process. Because of the anesthetic, though, you won’t feel any pain. If you do, please let us know right away.

Extraction may be recommended in the following cases:

· When wisdom teeth, or third molars, emerge as non-functional, and/or misaligned.

· If a candidate for dentures only has a few worn or compromised remaining teeth on an arch, we may recommend extractions so a full denture can be placed.

Patients, often younger children, may have impacted teeth positioned to emerge out of alignment, or teeth that block others from erupting.
Orthodontic patients with overcrowded mouths that require more space along the jaw line to properly align the teeth.

Our team will partner with you before, during, and after your recommended procedure. If you have an extraction schedule, you can feel confident that we will fully explain what to expect and will provide thorough and compassionate care. Finally, many patients who have extractions performed benefit from dental implants paired with crowns, bridges, or dentures, so ask us about this prosthetic option.
