Louisville Tooth Extraction Dentist

Gentle extractions for a brighter, healthier smile

Louisville tooth extraction Summit Dental and Orthodontics

Safe and comfortable tooth extractions

Sometimes, the best way to protect your oral health is to remove a problem tooth. Extractions may be recommended for teeth that are damaged, decayed, infected, or causing crowding. Taking this proactive step can prevent future complications and create room for restorative treatments like implants, bridges, or dentures.

Our Louisville tooth extraction team uses advanced imaging and precise techniques to make the procedure as gentle and stress-free as possible. With multiple sedation options such as nitrous, IV sedation, oral sedation, and general anesthesia, we can tailor your experience to your needs, ensuring you remain relaxed and comfortable from start to finish.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Can I brush my teeth after a tooth extraction?

Yes, but avoid brushing near the extraction site for the first 24 hours to allow healing to begin undisturbed.

Will I need antibiotics after a tooth extraction?

In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed if there’s a risk of infection, but they are not always necessary.

Is tooth extraction painful?

No, our Louisville extractions team ensures your comfort by using local anesthesia and sedation options (nitrous, IV, oral, or general), so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some discomfort afterward is normal but manageable with pain relief recommendations.

What should I do if I experience severe pain after the extraction?

If pain persists beyond a few days or worsens, contact our office immediately, as it could indicate an infection or dry socket.

What foods should I avoid after an extraction?

Avoid crunchy, spicy, and sticky foods that could irritate the area or get stuck in the extraction site.
