Tooth Extraction in Raleigh

While we strive to save every tooth as part of our holistic philosophy at Cameron Village Dentistry, there are situations where tooth extraction is the best option for your oral and overall health.

We understand that the thought of losing a tooth can be daunting. Our caring and compassionate team is dedicated to providing a comfortable experience and supporting you in any way you need.

Reasons for Tooth Extractions

Our dentists may recommend tooth extraction at our Raleigh dental office for a variety of reasons, including:

• Severe tooth decay we can't treat with a filling
• Advanced gum disease that causes bone loss and tooth instability
• Overcrowded teeth, often as part of orthodontic treatment
• Wisdom teeth that are causing pain or crowding surrounding teeth
• Fractured teeth that are beyond repair
• In preparation for dental implant placement

By removing a problematic tooth, we can prevent further issues to help you maintain better overall health in the long term.

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically emerge between the ages of 17–25. Often, there is not enough space in the mouth to accommodate these new teeth, leading to overcrowding, impaction, or infection.

Our Raleigh dentists will carefully evaluate your wisdom teeth and recommend extraction if they are:

• Impacted or partially erupted
• Causing damage to adjacent teeth or the jawbone
• Contributing to gum disease or tooth decay
• Compromising your oral health or tooth alignment

In the case of an impacted tooth, Dr. Turner will refer you to a top oral surgeon in our area who has expertise in this area. 

Ozone Therapy and Platelet-Rich Fibrin for Extractions

At Cameron Village Dentistry in Raleigh, we incorporate ozone therapy and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) therapy into our extraction procedures to ensure optimal healing and minimize the risk of complications.

Ozone therapy involves rinsing the tooth socket with ozone water or applying ozone gas to the extraction site. This powerful antioxidant eliminates any bacteria or other pathogens that may be left behind to reduce inflammation and promote faster healing.

Platelet-rich fibrin is derived from your own blood and contains concentrated growth factors that accelerate healing, reduce post-op discomfort, and minimize the risk of complications.

When combined with ozone therapy, PRF therapy helps ensure a smooth, comfortable, and efficient tooth extraction recovery.

Our Commitment to Your Comfort

With our caring and compassionate team of professionals, you can expect the most comfortable tooth extraction process possible. We empathize with your feelings and will be with you every step of the way to provide support and understanding.

To ensure your comfort during the procedure, we offer:

• Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to minimize anxiety
• Comfortable massage dental chairs
• Pillows, blankets, and noise-canceling headphones
• Aromatherapy and white noise machines

After extraction, our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.

• Gently bite down on a gauze pad to control bleeding and encourage clot formation.
• Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort.
• Take over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribed medications as directed.
• Avoid smoking, using straws, or engaging in strenuous activities that could dislodge the clot.
• Eat soft foods and gradually reintroduce harder foods as healing progresses
• Maintain proper oral hygiene while being cautious around the extraction site

Our professional team will closely monitor your healing progress and are always here to address your questions or concerns during recovery.
