Reasons You May Need a Tooth Extraction

A tooth extraction provides relief from discomfort, disease progression and problems caused by poorly positioned teeth. We provide a no-pressure approach to dentistry, and our dentists will discuss your options with you to determine if tooth extraction is right for you.

Common Reasons For Needing a Tooth Extracted

ReasonDescription
Tooth decay Tooth decay can cause pain and contribute to disease. It is common practice to remove decayed teeth.
Fractured teeth When a tooth is fractured, sensitive areas are exposed, causing discomfort and vulnerability to infection.
Disease When a tooth is diseased, an extraction can help prevent issues from spreading to your gums and other teeth.
Impacted wisdom teeth Impacted wisdom teeth are prone to hard-to-manage cavities, and they can crowd or damage surrounding teeth. Wisdom teeth are often removed proactively to prevent dental and oral health problems from developing.

 

The Tooth Extraction Procedure: What to Expect

The tooth extraction procedure can vary depending on the goal and reasons for the removal. In general, expect:

  1. A form of local anesthetic
  2. Removal via a simple or surgical extraction
  3. In some cases, teeth require sectioning (the tooth is divided into sections and removed one section at a time)
  4. Recovery

 

Replacement Options for Extracted Teeth

Windsor Family Dental offers a range of restorative dental procedures to revitalize your smile and promote healthy surrounding teeth and gums. We offer thorough consultations so you and your dentist can discuss the best options for your needs.

Tooth Implants

Tooth implants are the standard of care for tooth replacement. Implants are extremely safe and durable, and they offer a natural look and feel. With implants, you can get the smile you’ve always wanted without sacrificing your quality of life.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a tooth appliance used to replace missing teeth. The bridge consists of artificial teeth, known as pontics, held in place by crowns or implants. Dental bridges can be either fixed, where they are permanently attached to adjacent teeth or implants, or removable for easier cleaning.

Dentures

A denture is an appliance inserted in the mouth to replace teeth and provide support for the cheeks and lips. Dentures are made of plastic, porcelain or a combination of both. Complete dentures can be attached to dental implants for a more secure fit.

Dental Extraction Aftercare Tips

After your dental extraction, taking 2-3 days to rest before resuming normal activity is recommended. There will be a 3-4 week healing period for the soft tissue affected by the procedure. Maintaining good oral hygiene, as well as avoiding extremely hot or cold foods and beverages can help your healing progress normally.

How Much Does a Tooth Extraction Cost?

Tooth extraction in Wisconsin costs anywhere between $200 and $400, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the type of anesthesia necessary. Your dental insurance may cover some or all of the costs of the procedure. Windsor Family Dental offers affordable payment plans for tooth extractions to patients throughout Dane County in Madison, Sun Prairie, DeForest and beyond.

Extractions FAQs

 

Is tooth extraction painful?

Yes, having a tooth removed can hurt. Your dentist will typically give you a local anesthetic to eliminate pain and discomfort during the procedure. After the procedure, your dentist may recommend over-the-counter medications to help manage the pain. A large percentage of patients report only mild pain.

How do I prepare myself for a tooth extraction?

Before your tooth extraction procedure, you should ask any questions you may have and share your medical history with your dentist. You'll also want to discuss what types of anesthesia or painkillers the dentist will provide or prescribe you during and after the procedure. You shouldn't eat anything for 12 hours prior to the extraction. Plan to have someone available to take you home after the procedure.

When should a tooth be extracted?

If you have impacted teeth, tooth decay, periodontal disease, tooth trauma or overcrowding, you may need to have a tooth extracted. You may also need a tooth extracted if your tooth is badly damaged and can't be restored with a filling or crown.

Should I take the day off after my tooth extraction?

It depends on if your job is physically demanding or not. If your job involves heavy lifting or exaggerated movements, you may want to stay home for a day or two, sometimes even longer. When you engage in a lot of movement, your blood starts pumping and the pressure might make the extraction area bleed more.

What are restoration options after tooth extraction?

Replacing your tooth after extraction is important to maintain your oral health. Your dentist will assess your gums, teeth and bones after extraction to provide you with the best tooth replacement options. A few restoration options dentists recommend include dental bridges, partial dentures and dental implants. Most options can mimic the look of your natural teeth.

What is not allowed after tooth extraction?

Stay away from straws to prevent dry sockets. Don't use tobacco products for at least one week to avoid blood clotting. Don't spit or swish aggressively. Avoid blowing your nose or sneezing since this can also dislodge a blood clot. Follow any instructions regarding pain medication, eating and aftercare your dentist provides.

I always enjoy my teeth cleaning with Emily. You can tell from her attitude that she really cares about her patients. She really is the best. Everyone is helpful at Windsor Family Dental. I highly recommend them.

Nick Z.

Dana, my hygienist, did a fantastic job. With over 25 years of experience, she skillfully engaged in conversation with me while working on my teeth, making the cleaning process pleasant and comfortable. I also had the pleasure of meeting Kristi, Dr. DeMatthew's assistant, who was friendly and personable. Dr. DeMatthew herself was articulate in explaining the details of my dental health, making sure I understood everything clearly. Overall, my experience at Windsor Family Dental was wonderful, and I highly recommend Dr. DeMatthew and her staff.

I had to switch dental clinics because of insurance reasons and I am happy to have landed at Windsor Family Dental. The staff here is great and I love Dr. Zhao, she addressed a concern that I’ve had for years and put my mind at ease. Everyone made me feel comfortable and after my visit my lifelong dread of dental appointments has vanished.
