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.

Dr.Rosenbrook is an excellent dentist.He gives super gentle shots. He is very thoughtful and curtious to his patient, me. He provides a flat screen for the patient to view animals during the procedure which is very nice. I am happy that I have a GOOD dentist now. Thank you for excellent service.

Getting implants done. Dr. Bundy and Dr. Rosenbook are both amazing Dentists.Dr. Rosenbrook did the numbing and pulling of my teeth,plus placed the implants.I barely felt a thing ,except that old stubborn side of my gums that took a moment to get completely numb,but other than that it went extremely well.i must say Dr. Rosenbrook is fantastic at what he does,hes very calm,laid back, gentle,and explains well throughout the process!!!! I thought I would be in pain for days,but only the first post op day was challenging, after that it was more soreness,but tolerable.Cant wait to get my teeth placed,because I'm in need of some good food🤣

Today was my first visit , it went great ! My 88 yr. old mom has been a patient here for a year or two. They're fantastic with her , so I'm familiar with the Dr and his staff . I'm happy to have him as my dentist 😬 💙 dental work coming up and I'm not worried .Update : I have had a couple appointments now and today March 14th, I had my root canal and crown . Dr. Rosenbrook is phenomenal, he did not hurt me at all and having a bad experience a few years ago, he has made me feel like he TRULY CARES ! He has offered me Lil breaks in this lengthy procedure due to my TMJ , he was checking on me periodically and letting me know the first procedure was almost done , his assistant was kind and caring and does such a good job ,she works well with him . This whole staff is just exceptional. I can't say enough good things about them .I'm grateful and blessed to have them .

No crazy wait, friendly staff and very clear. Made sure I understood what I can do myself and my options procedure wise as well. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to get to a dentist and there was no shaming, just an other forward.

Dr. Bundy replaced a lost filling on the outside of a tooth and the repair was absolutly pain free and looks so much like the rest of the tooth I can't even tell it's there. Great job.
