Tooth extraction is a simple process that is performed in our office with anesthesia so that you have as comfortable an experience as possible. Your dentist may recommend this common treatment for reasons such as :

  • The tooth is damaged or decayed beyond repair
  • The infected tooth that can’t be saved by a root canal
  • Teeth loosened due to periodontal disease and can not be saved
  • Overcrowding – For children and teens getting ready for orthodontics, a tooth may be taken out so that other teeth have room to grow in.

How Does Tooth Extraction Work

To prepare for the removal of a tooth, your dentist will administer anesthesia so you don’t feel any pain. The tooth area will become numb and you will feel numbness a few hours after the treatment. The dentist will then begin the extraction. You won’t feel pain, but you may feel pressure. The dentist, however, will make sure to ask you during the procedure if you do feel any pain.

After the procedure, the dentist will control the bleeding with small stitches. You’ll be given gauze to absorb any additional bleeding, although that should be minimal. Replace the gauze as necessary. For any pain following the procedure, your dentist might recommend an over the counter pain medication. Within the first 24 hours of the treatment take care when eating and drinking by avoiding that side of the mouth. Depending on which tooth has been pulled, the site can take about 7 to 10 days to fully heal.

The overall goal of tooth extraction is to take away pain, restore your dental health or improve the long term appearance of your smile. If you have any concerns or questions about tooth extraction in Burton, MI, please call our office at (810) 736-9778 to speak to one of our staff.

This was my first appointment in a very long time, and I was pretty scared and really hoped this would go well because major work needs to be done. Everyone there was so nice and thoroughly explained my options in a very patient manner. I would highly recommend Today's Dental Comfort.

I have been coming to Today’s Dental Comfort for years. I could not see myself going anywhere else! When you walk-in or call, you are greeted by the friendliest, nicest, and professional staff—Melissa, Jillian, or Connie. I have always been made to feel comfortable with my services whether it’s been cleaning, filling or x-rays. I have never had an unpleasant or unsatisfactory experience at Today’s Dental Comfort. Everything from services, to my coverage and billing was explained to me. I’ve had thorough cleanings. I’ve had satisfactory experiences when I’ve had to be numbed for procedures. I love the fact that they use a lot of up-to-date technologies in the dental field when serving their patients. My hygienist and I have established a relationship and enjoy catching up with one another (as much as possible—it is a dental visit!). She has an impeccable memory. She remembers things from my last visit from 6 months before. I’m always glancing around looking at family photos throughout the office. I love the personal touches throughout the office. It makes it warm and inviting. And, my dentist, Dr. Bundy, is the best. They have done right by me!!!!!! They are indeed Today’s Dental Comfort. Literally. If you’re looking for a dentist, I recommend them!
