Tooth Extraction in West Allis

At Urgent Dental Care, we know the thought of a tooth extraction can bring a mix of emotions and questions. Rest assured, our team is committed to providing comprehensive, empathetic dental care, especially when an extraction is necessary.

Your Smile's Health and Harmony

Preserving your natural teeth is always our preference. However, we may recommend extraction for your long-term dental health when a tooth is damaged beyond repair by trauma or decay or threatening the health of your surrounding teeth.

Other reasons why our dentists might recommend dental extraction include:

• Problematic wisdom teeth are causing pain and alignment issues
• Advanced gum disease has weakened the support for teeth
• Relieve overcrowding to prepare for orthodontic treatment 
• Prepare for dentures or dental implant placement

We understand that tooth extraction can be a daunting prospect. That’s why our West Allis dentists will keep you informed every step of the way. We will thoroughly evaluate your dental condition using precise x-rays and imaging and share the images with you. Our dentists will discuss available options, if any, ensuring that you clearly understand why we recommend extraction and why it’s in your best interest. 

We Focus on Patient Comfort

Your comfort is of the utmost importance to us. We administer strong local anesthetics to numb the area effectively, and our skilled dental team uses gentle techniques to ensure a pain-free procedure. 

Our Milwaukee dental team will check in with you throughout the extraction procedure, offering reassurance and making any adjustments to maximize your comfort.

For patients with high dental anxiety or those requiring more complex extractions (like wisdom teeth), we offer IV sedation. This allows you to remain in a state of deep relaxation during the procedure, with little to no memory of the treatment afterward. It's the ultimate way to ensure your visit is stress-free.

Don't Just Lose a Tooth: Gain a Permanent Solution

An extraction is sometimes the best way to get you out of pain, but it's only half the story. When a tooth is removed, the surrounding jawbone can begin to shrink, and neighboring teeth can shift. 

Why Choose an Implant at Urgent Dental Care?

• Prevent Bone Loss: Implants are the only restorative option that stimulates your jawbone and prevents facial sagging.
• One Office, One Team: Unlike other clinics, we handle both the extraction and the implant placement right here in West Allis. No being referred out to expensive specialists.
• IV Sedation Available: Whether we are removing a tooth or placing an implant, you can choose to be completely relaxed or "asleep" for the duration.
• Affordable Financing: We offer Sunbit and CareCredit to make permanent tooth replacement fit your monthly budget.

Our team will guide you through the healing process following tooth extraction with personalized aftercare instructions. We'll cover everything from managing discomfort and swelling to promoting proper healing. Your extraction recovery care plan will include tips like:

• Gently biting on a gauze pad to control bleeding
• Avoiding strenuous activity to prevent dislodging the blood clot
• Eating soft foods and gradually reintroducing solid foods as healing progresses
• Rinsing with warm salt water after 24 hours to keep the area clean

Remember—if you experience problems or have questions, our friendly team in West Allis is just a phone call away.

Once healing is well underway, we'll discuss replacement options to restore your smile and ensure you can chew comfortably. Whether you opt for a bridge, partial denture, or dental implant, Urgent Dental Care is dedicated to finding the best solution tailored to your situation.
