Tooth Extractions in Kingman

Dr. Haynes goal is to do everything possible to SAVE your natural teeth. The most common tooth extractions are usually wisdom tooth extractions. In some cases, a broken tooth may also need to be extracted, as well as teeth with significant tooth decay that cannot be treated by a root canal. Patients with advanced gum disease may be considered for tooth extractions as well.

Most tooth extractions take just a few minutes. Dr. Haynes will begin by rocking the tooth back and forth, and then rotating it to widen the socket for easier extraction. Because your pain receptors have been numbed, you may sense a dull pressure, but you shouldn't feel any tooth extraction pain. When the tooth is fully detached, she will remove it and cover the exposed gum with a small piece of gauze. Post operation instructions will be given at this time and Dr. Haynes will make sure that the extraction site is stable before allowing you to leave the office. A post operation check will be scheduled for one week to check the healing of extraction site.

*Most teeth that are extracted need to be replaced with an implant, bridge, or removable denture. Missing teeth can cause surrounding teeth to shift, which may change your bite and cause jaw problems.

(This procedure will take about 30-60min)
