Tooth Extraction
In Ann Arbor, MI

Losing a tooth is never a fun experience. However, no matter how daunting a tooth extraction in Ann Arbor might sound, extractions can be the best option for keeping your oral health unscathed. So we only suggest this option when patients have:

• Severe tooth decay that can't be fixed
• Severe gum disease that has loosened the tooth
• A cracked or broken tooth that’s beyond repair
• Infected wisdom teeth
• Teeth crowding
• Baby teeth that are intact in adolescents or adults

What to Expect During the Procedure

A tooth extraction in our Ann Arbor clinic can look a detailed procedure but our trend to go the extra mile can make your tooth removal at Stadium Family Dentistry feel one of the most comfortable dental experiences. We keep you informed about the steps lead up to the tooth extraction:

• We start with a dental cleaning and digital X-rays
• You'll get a local anesthetic to numb the area
• The tooth is loosened carefully and gently taken out
• In case of, larger or curved-root teeth, we might section the tooth to easily extract it and minimize stress on the surrounding tissue
• We’ll stitch the surgery site if necessary
• You will have clear aftercare instructions to aid healing

You can expect to leave our office in one to two hours after your arrival. While the surgery may take 20 to 40 minutes, you may need some time to come off anesthesia. 

We Remove Your Teeth with Compassion

Wisdom teeth are the usual suspects behind pain and jaw issues, particularly when they erupt at the wrong angle or are stuck below the gums. We provide comforting wisdom tooth removal in our Ann Arbor office, with precision and reassurance to make the experience as fuss-free as possible.

Healing and Aftercare You Can Trust

We accompany you during recovery, not only during the procedure. Recovery is part of the process, and we offer tailored instructions to help you feeling your best.

Consider these helpful tips:

• Rest and limit heavy activity for a day or two
• Consume soft, cool foods such as yogurt, smoothies, shakes or mashed potatoes
• Steer clear of using straws and smoking, which can lead to dry socket (loss of blood clot at the surgery site) and slow healing
• Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water after 24 hours
• Take any medication prescribed as instructed

We're only a phone call away if you have any questions or concerns. Your easy, healthy recovery is our top priority.

How to Maintain Your Smile After Extraction?

Missing a tooth impacts more than your bite. That's why we discuss with you the tooth replacement possibilities after healing. If you leave a tooth gap, it might cause nearby teeth to move, alter your bite, or influence the way you chew and talk.

To save your smile in the long run, we can suggest:

• Dental implants for a permanent, natural solution
• Dental bridge to bridge the space
• Partial dentures to replace multiple missing teeth

We'll assist you in selecting what's best for you and your lifestyle and health requirements, always with your comfort in mind.
