When Preserving Teeth Isn’t an Option

However, a dental injury or serious decay can result in a change of plans – one that requires you to say goodbye to one or more of your teeth. At Advanced Dental Associates of South Tampa, Dr. Christopher Patrino will always do what he can to preserve your natural smile, but if tooth extraction is necessary, you can trust that he will ensure your comfort throughout the procedure as well as recommend reliable replacement options to restore your appearance.

How Tooth Extractions Work
There are a few reasons Dr. Patrino might recommend tooth extraction in South Tampa:
- Your tooth is badly decayed and cannot be restored with a dental filling, crown, or root canal
- You have periodontitis that is damaging the bone and causing one or more teeth to become loose
- You require orthodontics to treat overcrowding but need space to ensure your teeth can move into their proper position
If one of these is discovered by Dr. Patrino, he will recommend that the tooth or teeth be removed to prevent further damage to your oral health. If the tooth is above the gumline, it can be extracted easily with dental forceps; however, if it is impacted, a more extensive surgical procedure is required.
No matter what kind of treatment process is suggested, you can expect our team to discuss reliable ways to replace your extracted teeth once your mouth heals.
Making Tooth Extractions Comfortable
Before the tooth extraction, we will administer local anesthesia. Dental sedation can also be provided if you need help to remain calm and relaxed throughout the procedure. Dr. Patrino will carefully perform the extraction, ensuring you remain comfortable and in no pain. We’ll also provide detailed post-operative instructions for you to follow while at home recovering. This will ensure that you heal successfully and experience no complications along the way.
