Tooth extraction may be necessary when a tooth is severely decayed beyond repair, fractured below the gumline, infected with an abscess that doesn't respond to root canal therapy, or impacted (as with wisdom teeth). Extractions are also performed to prepare for dentures, create space for orthodontic treatment, or remove teeth loosened by advanced periodontal disease. Dr. Charles Kim, DDS always considers preservation first and recommends extraction only when it's the best option for your long-term oral health. During your exam at our Denton office, we'll explain all available options before proceeding.
Our Denton dental office performs both simple and surgical extractions. Simple extractions are performed on visible teeth using local anesthesia — the tooth is loosened with an elevator tool and removed with forceps. Surgical extractions are required for teeth that are broken below the gumline, impacted, or have curved roots. Dr. Charles Kim, DDS makes a small incision in the gum tissue to access and remove the tooth. Wisdom tooth removal is one of our most common surgical extraction procedures. Sedation dentistry options are available for all extraction types to ensure your comfort.
After a tooth extraction, you'll bite down on gauze for 30–45 minutes to control bleeding. Swelling and mild discomfort are normal for 2–3 days and can be managed with ice packs and over-the-counter pain medication. We provide detailed aftercare instructions including diet recommendations (soft foods for 24–48 hours), wound care, and activity restrictions. Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 days. If you're getting immediate dentures or planning implants, Dr. Charles Kim, DDS will coordinate your extraction with your restoration plan so you can start your new smile right away.
