Tooth Extractions in Vero Beach, FL

When Extraction is the Best Option.

Sometimes a tooth cannot be restored and must be removed. When a tooth is broken or has significant decay, the ideal solution is to restore it using a filling, crown, or other procedure. Our knowledgeable dentists will examine you to determine if the tooth requires extraction or if other options, such as root canal treatment, might help prevent the loss of the tooth.

If restoration is not possible or advisable due to the condition of the tooth, an extraction may be recommended to prevent infection and achieve or maintain oral health. At Dental Partners of Vero Beach, we have advanced technology and years of experience to ensure you are as comfortable as possible during the procedure.

What to Expect During a Dental Extraction. 

Most dental extractions can be performed with the use of local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth. During the procedure, the tooth is then gently loosened and removed. Immediately after the tooth has been removed, your doctor will place gauze pads over the treated area and you will be asked to apply pressure by biting down on the tooth socket. Stitches are sometimes needed, and your doctor will inform you whether the stitches will dissolve or if they require removal at a follow-up appointment.
