At Cary Family Dental, we do everything we can to save your natural teeth—but sometimes, removing a tooth is the healthiest option. Whether you’re dealing with severe decay, infection, or overcrowding, our skilled team is here to provide the best care in a stress-free environment.
We have been serving the communities of Cary, Raleigh, and beyond since 2003. Our focus is on making your extraction experience stress-free with comfort amenities, advanced technology, and attentive staff that considers your personal concerns and oral health history.
It’s no secret that getting a tooth extraction may cause anxiety, but you’re in good hands at Cary Family Dental. Our skilled team will walk you through each step, answer your questions, and help you feel at ease throughout your visit. We also offer comfort options to help you relax during treatment.
Our patients may need to have a dental extraction due to one of the following:
Decay and infection can both cause pain and make eating almost impossible. Crowding can also cause functionality issues because your bite may become misaligned. If you are in or near Raleigh, Cary, or beyond and are experiencing any dental problems, call us right away to find out how we can help.
In most cases, extracting a tooth is quick. We start with local anesthesia and use tools to help loosen the tooth and pull it out.
After the extraction, take care of yourself to avoid complications. Remember to avoid drinking through straws for a day, and to avoid all tobacco use for two days.You can clean your mouth by gently rinsing it with warm water, and don’t brush directly over the extraction area for another day or two. Eat a diet of soft foods and avoid rigorous activities for at least a day.
Taking care of yourself will prevent dry socket. A blood clot should form, and if it is knocked loose it will expose the bone and cause a lot of pain. Call us if you are worried about dry socket or if there is anything else we can help you with.
This depends on your individual needs, available jaw space, and comfort level. Our doctors often recommend removing all problematic wisdom teeth in a single visit to reduce overall recovery time and avoid multiple procedures. However, if a staged approach is better for your situation—or if you have specific concerns—we’ll gladly discuss alternative options.
We perform teeth extraction with skill and care. If you are in the Cary or Raleigh area and experiencing dental pain, call us today to schedule an appointment. We can get you started on the road to a happier mouth!
