Tooth Extractions

For those in need of dental extractions, Dr. Yu offers comfortable and efficient procedures that are designed to minimize any discomfort or pain you may experience. While our goal is to preserve your natural teeth as long as possible, sometimes it’s necessary to remove teeth altogether. For instance, if a tooth is severely decayed or cracked and is non-restorable, the best option is to remove it and replace it with something like an implant or bridge. Teeth with advanced periodontal disease may also need to be extracted in order to stabilize the infection and prevent it from spreading.

Wisdom Tooth Evaluations

Wisdom teeth are one of the most common teeth to experience issues with impaction, pain, swelling, and recurring infections. If you’re experiencing pain or discomfort due to impacted wisdom teeth, Dr. Yu can perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine the best course of action. If your wisdom tooth is at risk of decay or periodontitis, it poses a risk to the healthy tooth next to it. In those scenarios, wisdom tooth removal may be the best solution.

Dental Recovery After a Tooth Extraction

The recovery process after having a tooth extracted can vary from person to person but typically involves some mild swelling or discomfort for the first few days. It is important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by our Irvine Spectrum dentist, such as avoiding solid foods for the first day or two and taking pain medication as directed. If we prescribe an antibiotic, be sure to take your prescription for the full duration.

 

Ice packs can be applied to the outside of your face to help reduce swelling during the first day. You can also rinse your mouth with salt water to help reduce discomfort and keep the area clean.

 

After a few days, you can gradually return to your normal diet and activities, but it is important to avoid anything that might disrupt the healing of the extraction site, such as using straws, smoking, or engaging in intense physical activity.

 

In most cases, the extraction site will heal within 7-10 days or 10-14 days for surgical extractions. If you experience severe pain, swelling, or other symptoms that persist beyond that time, you should contact our Atlanta dentist for a follow-up appointment.

Dental Implant Installation

Dr. Yu has extensive experience in dental implant installation and is dedicated to ensuring a smooth and successful experience for her patients. Getting dental implants is a straightforward, minimally invasive process for most patients. In fact, there is little discomfort afterward, and most people say that implant installation is easier than having a tooth extracted.

Oral Sedation Available

At Irvine Spectrum Dental, we understand that dental procedures can be stressful for some patients, which is why we offer comfortable oral sedation to help alleviate any nervousness or sensitivity that you’re concerned about. Oral sedation provides a deeper sedative experience that lasts for a few hours at a time, making it perfect for oral surgery procedures or combining multiple treatments into one visit.
