Administer Anesthesia

For simple extractions, a local anesthetic, or numbing solution, is often sufficient to keep patients comfortable. Patients who are nervous about treatment can ask our dentists about other sedation dentistry options.

Make Incisions

For a more complex extraction, such as an impacted tooth, we may create incisions in the gum and bone tissue to provide better access to the extraction site.

Remove the Tooth

Next, we will use special dentistry tools to gently loosen and remove the tooth. In some cases, it may be broken up and removed in pieces. Most patients don't experience any pain during this stage, but they may feel some pressure.

Place Sutures

We will place sutures as needed to encourage healing of the extraction site.

Apply Gauze

Finally, we will have the patient bite down on a piece of gauze to reduce bleeding.

Is Tooth Extraction Painful?
Research Found Patients:

89% experienced less pain than expected
*According to research published in Clinical Oral Investigations

At our Richmond practice, we take a gentle approach and offer anesthesia options so patients can have a pain-free and comfortable dentistry experience. 

Tooth Extraction Recovery

Formation of the Blood Clot

Immediately after extraction, a blood clot will begin to form. It is extremely important not to disturb this blood clot because it protects the underlying bone and nerves. If it successfully stays in place, this clot can serve as the foundation of new bone and soft tissue growth.

Preventing Dry Socket

If the blood clot becomes dislodged or fails to form, it causes a painful condition known as dry socket. This also results in an empty space of bone in the socket and bad breath. The risk of dry socket is present for about seven to ten days.
