A tooth extraction sounds simple—it’s just pulling a tooth, right? However, at Bethesda Dental Associates, our tooth removal procedures are delicate, targeted treatments that are adapted to each patient. Any dentist can get rid of a tooth. We meticulously plan your extraction, perform it in modern, elegant treatment rooms, and craft personal aftercare support for your recovery. It’s not just pulling a tooth. It’s curated care.
Rest assured, we do only pull teeth when absolutely necessary. Our dentists in North Bethesda, MD, will never jump to tooth extraction without exploring other options first. We prefer to treat your teeth as they are, getting them back to health.
However, sometimes it isn’t possible to preserve both your tooth and your overall health. Keeping a bad tooth might do more harm than good. Scenarios like that include:
To start, we take digital X-rays and intraoral camera scans to assess the tooth and plan the best way to extract it. We’ll use an anesthetic to numb the area and make sure you’re comfortable, providing accommodations for dental phobias. Our skilled dentists then carefully remove the problematic tooth, ensuring minimal discomfort by utilizing precise techniques that make the process quick and efficient.
What comes after the extraction is just as important, so we offer comprehensive follow-up support for a smooth recovery. We can recommend over-the-counter or prescription pain relief, guide you toward what to eat, and instruct you on caring for the area to promote tooth extraction healing. We also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and plan for Invisalign or restorative dentistry.
At Bethesda Dental Associates, we offer same-day appointments to address urgent situations. That includes emergency tooth removal cases. Our easy scheduling and VIP parking get you to our doors fast, allowing us to alleviate your discomfort swiftly. We also offer flexible payment options and work with most insurance plans, so you won’t have to worry about the tooth extraction cost in an emergency.
Our Bethesda dentists transcend the conventional approach to tooth extractions. With our blend of experience, compassion, and amenities, your visit is not merely an appointment but an experience that restores and enhances your dental well-being. From the moment you arrive until your follow-up care, we transform your perspective on dental care. Reach out today for a tooth extraction consultation, or call 202-931-7021 for emergency care.
