Why Get Dental Extractions?
Infected Teeth
Infected teeth cause a lot of pain and affect physical health. Removing severely infected teeth relieves pain and protects other neighboring teeth from becoming infected.
Broken Teeth
Dentists try to save teeth but some are so damaged that a tooth extraction is necessary. Bond Street Dental dentists can remove damaged and broken teeth without pain.
Impacted Teeth
Tooth extractions are needed for orthodontic reasons. Wisdom teeth can crowd out others. Baby teeth don’t always fall out as permanent teeth grow. Both can result in impacted or overcrowded teeth.

I am so so happy with my results of my implant done. From my very first appointment the customer service alone by the bond street dental receptionists, financial planner, and dentists exceeded my expectations. I had Dr. Salti from start to finish for my implant and he did his very best to make sure that I was comfortable by educating me, being patient, and always presenting all available options. I would 100% recommend this dentist to anyone that is looking for a dentist right downtown. I promise you will have an amazing experience!

Bond street Dental has such an amazing and friendly staff. The practice is beautiful and very clean. I feel very taken care of here and walk out happy every time. I would recommend going here 100%. Also big perk is that they’re open late and weekends! If you have insurance they also bill them directly which takes off any added stress.

Two Ways to Do Dental Extractions
Tooth removal occurs in one of two ways depending on the position of the infected, damaged, or problematic tooth.
Simple Dental Extraction
A general dentist can remove visible teeth that have no complications. You will get a local anesthetic to numb the area. You will feel pressure but no pain. The dentist uses what is called an elevator to lift the tooth up and then forceps to grasp and extract it. A simple dental extraction can be done in as little as 10 minutes.
Surgical Dental Extractions
Complicated tooth extractions, like an impacted or severely damaged tooth, require an oral surgeon to remove them. You will get a local anesthetic to numb the area but some may want sedation. Surgery takes longer than a simple dental extraction but many can be done in under an hour.
Dental Extraction Surgery: Step by Step
The oral surgeon will ask you whether you want sedation or just a local anesthetic. Sedation isn’t required but is available as nitrous oxide, orally, with an IV, or with general anesthesia. Sedation will require someone to drive you home.
Discuss with your surgeon whether you need a bone graft. They are an additional cost but can easily be inserted after the tooth extraction. This helps bone growth for those considering implants.
The surgeon may take your blood pressure and monitor your oxygen level. This is standard for those under sedation.
You will be given a local anesthetic to numb the area.
The surgeon will cut into the gum tissue to expose the infected, damaged, or problematic tooth.
The surgeon may need to remove some surrounding bone to extract the tooth. This is where the bone graft would be inserted.
A damaged tooth sometimes must be removed in sections. This procedure involves cutting a tooth into smaller sections and removing them individually rather than the whole tooth.
The oral surgeon will stitch your gum. They may use biodegradable string, which means you will not need to come back for stitches removal or they may use standard string. That requires a follow-up visit to remove it.
You will be given gauze and told to bite down on it for 45 minutes to start blood clotting. Your surgeon will likely give you an antibiotic to take for a few days and important aftercare instructions including what foods to avoid, avoiding straws, and limiting some physical activities to avoid dislodging the blood clot.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Most people will see or feel wisdom teeth erupting between 18 and 30 years old. While these “third molars” aren’t required to be pulled, they can present problems like tooth overcrowding and infection. It is advised to get dental extractions to remove them before they cause problems. Impacted wisdom teeth must be removed.

Why would I need a tooth extracted?
There are many reasons a patient may require tooth extraction. Perhaps, your tooth is poorly positioned in your mouth, has developed an abscess, become badly decayed, or you have developed periodontal disease.
Will I experience pain during my tooth extraction?
No, due to our sleep dentistry services, our tooth extraction procedures are painless. Depending on whether the extraction is simple or surgical, you will be placed under the appropriate level of anesthesia. If you experience any discomfort during the extraction procedure, our attentive dental team will make you feel comfortable.
When will I be able to eat and drink normally again?
For two to three days after your tooth extraction, you should eat only soft foods like soup, oatmeal, mashed potatoes and pasta. You can slowly add solid foods back into your diet after three days.
How should I care for my mouth after the extraction?
When you’re recovering from tooth extraction, you should take either the medication prescribed by the oral surgeon or over-the-counter painkillers to ease pain, apply an ice pack to your cheek to alleviate swelling, rest for 24 hours following the procedure, rinse your mouth out with warm water and salt, and brush and floss your teeth avoiding the extraction site.
