The Basics of Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is a simple procedure, only requiring about five minutes per tooth. The entire procedure can be performed under local anesthetic to ensure that your treatment at Knox County Dental is completely painless. After cleaning and numbing the area, Dr. Lane will loosen and remove the tooth using specialized dental tools, and your gums will heal after about a week -- then you'll be back to your daily life, enjoying everything Knoxville has to offer. We even offer restorative solutions to replace your tooth after the healing process is complete.

Should Your Wisdom Teeth Be Extracted?

Because wisdom teeth erupt much later than the rest of your mature teeth, they often cause dental health issues including pain, infection, or overcrowding of your other teeth. Dr. Lane is happy to assess your wisdom teeth to determine whether they pose a threat to your oral health, and may suggest tooth extraction as a way to avoid more severe, costly issues later on.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Also known as impacted third molars, this problem occurs when wisdom teeth can't fully erupt because they are blocked by surrounding teeth. If your wisdom teeth are blocked from growing in correctly, it can cause pain and damage to adjacent teeth. In this situation, it's best to extract your wisdom teeth to avoid further pain and prevent causing problems with your other teeth. Our team is happy to consult with you about your options to ensure you get the best treatment possible.

Full Mouth Extractions

If you're already missing teeth and you have decided that full arch dental implants are the best option for you, Dr. Lane can perform a full mouth extraction to make room for your new replacement teeth. Knox County Dental offers multiple Sedation Dentistry options, allowing you to get treatment that is quick, painless, and effective. You'll be on your way to a bright, natural-looking smile in no time!

Tooth Extraction Before Braces

Sometimes, patients may need to have teeth extracted before undergoing orthodontic treatment. If you want to straighten your teeth but have an issue with overcrowding, Dr. Lane may suggest a tooth extraction as part of your personalized treatment plan. Set up a consultation to determine whether this is the right first step for you.
