Tooth Extraction

Unfortunately, there are several instances in which it is necessary to pull or extract a tooth. If needed, Dr. Zhou will perform tooth extraction.

Instances of Tooth Extraction:
  • Remove broken, cracked, or badly decayed teeth which are causing you pain and making it embarrassing to smile.
  • Remove teeth with advanced gum disease (periodontal disease).
  • Remove teeth which are too damaged making them unsuitable for root canal treatment.
  • Remove badly positioned or nonfunctional teeth.
  • Extracting a tooth (or teeth) can make room for new teeth and a complete Smile Makeover.

After extraction, relax for at least 24 hours and limit your activity for a few days. Bite on gauze for a few hours to control bleeding and use an ice pack to reduce swelling. Follow any other instructions from dentist to make your recovery as comfortable as possible.
