Tooth Extraction
Procedure to extract damaged or infected teeth
It is a procedure in which a tooth is extracted from its socket in the upper or lower jaw. This procedure is performed when a tooth is damaged, infected, or cannot be restored with other treatments, or when its presence may cause problems in the mouth, such as impacted teeth or crowding. The dentist uses local anesthesia to minimize pain, and in some cases, stitches are applied to aid in the healing process.
Tooth Extraction
Benefits
Elimination of pain and infection
Extracting a severely damaged or infected tooth eliminates pain and reduces the risk of the infection spreading to other teeth or areas of the body.
Better preparation for future treatments
In orthodontic cases, extracting a tooth can facilitate the correct alignment of the other teeth, preventing future issues with crowding or bite problems.

Tooth Extraction
Consequences
What does the service include?
The treatment is painless, as anesthesia is applied. However, it is recommended, at the time of the dental extraction, to place synthetic bone and a restorative membrane. These help the gum maintain the necessary bone volume for a future treatment, such as a dental implant or a removable prosthesis. Additionally, the membrane facilitates faster healing, and the synthetic bone adheres better to the natural bone.
