Extractions

At Faywest Dental Center, we understand that the words “tooth extraction” can sound intimidating, but rest assured, your comfort is always our top priority. Our team combines advanced techniques with a gentle touch to make every procedure smooth, safe, and stress-free. Whether you need a simple extraction or a surgical tooth extraction in Scottsdale, PA, we’re here to help you relax, heal, and smile with confidence again.

Why You Might Need a Tooth Extraction

While our goal is always to save your natural teeth whenever possible, there are times when removal is the healthiest option. A tooth extraction may be recommended if you have:

• Severe tooth decay or infection that can’t be repaired
• Advanced gum disease that has weakened tooth support
• A broken or fractured tooth below the gum line
• Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or crowding
• Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment

Removing a damaged or infected tooth not only stops pain but also helps protect your surrounding teeth and gums. Our dentists take the time to explain every step of the process so you feel informed, calm, and cared for.

At Faywest Dental Center, we specialize in surgical extractions for teeth that are impacted, broken, or not easily accessible. These procedures require precision, and our experienced dentists use the latest tools and techniques to ensure a gentle and efficient process.

Before treatment begins, we thoroughly numb the area using a local anesthetic so you don’t feel pain, just gentle pressure. For patients who feel anxious or have more complex cases, we also partner with a local anesthesiologist who provides IV sedation. This allows you to fully relax or even nap through your procedure while we handle the rest. From the moment you sit in the chair, we take extra steps to keep you at ease and ensure your experience is as pleasant as possible.

What to Expect After Your Extraction

After your extraction, our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to help your mouth heal smoothly. You may experience mild swelling or tenderness for a short period, but this is part of the body’s natural healing process.

Here’s how to make recovery easier:

• Rest for the first 24 hours and avoid strenuous activity.
• Use a cold compress to minimize swelling.
• Eat soft foods like soup, yogurt, or mashed potatoes for a few days.
• Avoid drinking through a straw or smoking while the site heals.

We also schedule a follow-up visit to ensure your recovery is progressing well and discuss options for tooth replacement to restore your full smile.

If you’re experiencing tooth pain or your dentist has recommended a removal, please know you’re in caring hands at Faywest Dental Center. Our team makes every tooth extraction gentle, safe, and customized to your comfort needs.

With our experienced dentists, advanced surgical care, and the option for IV sedation with a local anesthesiologist, you can relax knowing your smile is in the best hands possible.
