Tooth Extractions in Las Vegas

Are you struggling with a broken, damaged, or diseased tooth that needs to be removed? Do you have impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or discomfort? When it comes to these serious dental concerns, tooth extractions are the best course of action to restore your healthy smile and get you feeling like yourself again.  At Vegas Dental Experts, we offer minimally invasive tooth extractions with various levels of dental sedation available. Read on to find out why we’re considered to be a leading provider of tooth extractions in Las Vegas!

Why Might Someone Need a Tooth Extraction? 

When a tooth is severely damaged or decayed, it can lead to a number of uncomfortable symptoms:

• Sharp or aching pain
• Difficulty chewing
• Crowding in the mouth
• Misaligned bite
• Pressure on the surrounding teeth

If the tooth is not treated or extracted, these symptoms will continue to progress and increase in severity. 

An estimated 20 million teeth are extracted every year in the United States. But what is it that causes these symptoms and calls for a tooth extraction? The following are the three most common reasons a tooth can cause pain and require extraction:

Damaged Teeth

You might sustain physical trauma to a tooth, such as a crack or chip, that damages the structure of the tooth and leads to pain, aches, or accelerated decay. 

Teeth can be damaged by chewing on hard food or candy. They can also be damaged due to a sports injury, an auto accident, or another type of physical impact. Whatever the cause, when a tooth is broken, chipped, or cracked, it may need to be extracted before it causes larger issues.

Wisdom Teeth

One of the most common reasons people seek tooth extractions is to have their wisdom teeth removed. Your wisdom teeth typically emerge in your late teens to early 20s, but they might emerge later in life. Wisdom teeth that come in crooked can become impacted and put pressure on the surrounding teeth. 

In some cases, a wisdom tooth may emerge partially and leave a small gap at the gum line. This allows bacteria to enter, leading to gum infections. In either case, wisdom tooth removal is necessary to preserve the overall health of your mouth and relieve any discomfort.

Diseased Teeth

When periodontal disease, tooth decay, cavities, or other oral conditions lead to diseased and decaying teeth, you may need a tooth extraction. 

A diseased tooth can cause symptoms that range from bad breath to an infection that spreads throughout the mouth and body. If you want to maintain your overall oral health and stop the spread of infection, a diseased tooth needs to be extracted sooner rather than later.

What Happens During Tooth Extractions?

Tooth extraction may sound like an intimidating procedure if you’ve never had one, but Vegas Dental Experts strive to make the process as simple as possible. Once you’ve had your free consultation appointment and received a detailed treatment plan, you will schedule your extraction date. 

When you arrive for your appointment, you will be sedated to whatever level is necessary for your treatment. We offer a number of different sedation options, including nitrous oxide and IV sedation. Once properly sedated, your affected teeth will be extracted using the least invasive technique available. 

If you want to restore a full smile after your extractions, you may have mini dental implants placed on the same day. Mini implants are a less extensive version of standard implants that are smaller in size and can be placed much faster. This means you’ll be returning home with a whole new smile in a matter of hours!

Sedation Dentistry

Many people struggle with anxiety and nervousness surrounding dental procedures such as tooth extractions. 

To ease your anxiety and increase your comfort, we offer various types of sedation during your treatment. These options include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), IV sedation, and oral sedation. For certain cases, we can even perform your procedure under general anesthesia with an anesthesiologist present.

Same-Day Additional Treatments

When you have a tooth extracted, you will likely want an artificial tooth so that you can maintain a full, beautiful smile. At Vegas Dental Experts, we offer a wide array of additional treatments to restore your complete smile. 

These include our same-day mini dental implants that can be placed immediately after your tooth extraction is complete. Mini dental implants are a less invasive version of standard implants, with a one-piece screw and smaller diameter.

Dental procedures like tooth extractions are difficult processes that require great expertise. When you choose Vegas Dental Experts, you can rest assured that you are in good hands. Dr. Chin has more than 40 years of experience in extractions and other dental procedures and works alongside a highly trained professional staff.

Enhanced Recovery

At Vegas Dental Experts, we strive to make your treatment as easy and comfortable as possible. Part of the treatment process is your recovery after surgery. 

We aim to make the recovery process easier by offering options like leukocyte platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF). L-PRF treatment uses your body’s own platelets to stimulate an intense healing response, facilitating a smoother recovery.
