Tooth Extractions

A radiant smile does more than showcase beautiful teeth; it reflects optimal oral health. At Tyma Trachtenberg & Bullock Dental in Doylestown, PA, we understand that sometimes the path to oral wellness requires particular interventions, like a tooth extraction. Extractions, while sounding daunting, are routine procedures undertaken to prevent potential complications in your mouth. Whether it's due to an impacted wisdom tooth or advanced gum disease, our esteemed dentists - Dr. Mark Tyma, DDS, Dr. Brian Trachtenberg, DMD, Dr. Peter Bullock, DMD, and Dr. Peter Blessington, DMD - ensure that each extraction procedure, conducted in our office, is safe, relaxed, and tailored for your comfort.

When is tooth extraction recommended?

Tooth extractions are advised in various situations. Some teeth pose a detriment to your oral health and need to be removed before they instigate problems such as shifting, infection, and other intra-oral damages. Key reasons for extractions include:

- Impacted wisdom teeth

- Loose or severely decayed teeth

- Teeth damaged below the gum line

- Stubborn baby teeth

- A proactive step to avoid further dental treatments

From our Doylestown location, serving residents of New Britain, Chalfont, Fountainville, Buckingham, Plumsteadville, Furlong, and beyond, we provide expert assessments to guide you on the best course of action.

Costs for tooth extraction vary based on the complexity of the procedure and the specific needs of the patient. We recommend scheduling a consultation at our Doylestown office by calling +1 215-348-4172, where we can provide a precise estimate tailored to your situation.

How to prepare for a tooth extraction?

Our priority at Tyma Trachtenberg & Bullock Dental is your well-being. Before the extraction, we discuss sedation options and provide insights on what to expect. Preparing mentally and physically is vital, and we guide you every step of the way. 

What is the procedure for a tooth extraction?

Your comfort is paramount. Once we administer your chosen sedation or anesthetic, our skilled dentists will gently loosen and remove the tooth. Should there be a need, sutures might be placed to aid gum healing. Post-procedure, we ensure the bleeding is controlled, and if sedation was used, we have a dedicated recovery space for you to rest. Friends or relatives should be available to escort you home post a sedation session.

While tooth extractions at our clinic, led by experienced professionals, are typically smooth, like any medical procedure, there might be risks. Potential risks include infections, prolonged bleeding, or post-operative discomfort. With our rigorous protocols and expert aftercare guidelines, we work diligently to minimize any complications.

Recovery durations vary, but most patients find they are back to their routines within a few days. Following our post-operative care guidelines is essential for smooth healing. Issues like oral infections or abscesses could develop if a problematic tooth is not addressed timely.
