Tooth Extractions: Bringing Life Back to Your Smile in Ottawa
At BluSky Dental, we understand that the thought of tooth extraction can be daunting. That’s why our Ottawa team is committed to making the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Using the latest technology and our extensive experience, we ensure minimal discomfort and quick recovery times.
When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
While our priority is always to save your natural teeth, there are situations where extraction becomes the best option:
- Severe Tooth Decay: When decay has compromised the tooth structure beyond repair.
- Impacted Teeth and Overcrowding: Often seen with wisdom teeth, causing discomfort and alignment issues.
- Accident-Related Damage: When a tooth is too damaged to be saved by other methods.
- Advanced Periodontal Disease: If gum disease has led to significant bone loss or infection.
The BluSky Extraction Experience
Advanced Technology for Minimal Discomfort
We use cutting-edge techniques, including lasers and ultrasound, to make extractions as minimally invasive as possible. This approach leads to:
- Faster healing times
- Reduced discomfort
- Minimal impact on surrounding tissues
Expert Care Every Step of the Way
Our experienced Ottawa dentists will:
- Thoroughly assess your situation
- Explain all your options
- Perform the extraction with utmost care
- Provide comprehensive aftercare instructions
Post-Extraction Care: Ensuring a Smooth Recovery
After your extraction, we’ll guide you through the recovery process. Here are some key tips:
- Use ice packs to reduce swelling
- Take prescribed pain medication as directed
- Rest for at least 24 hours
- Avoid smoking or vaping
- Eat soft foods and reintroduce other foods gradually
- Keep your head elevated when lying down
Beyond Extraction: Restoring Your Smile
At BluSky Dental, our care doesn’t end with the extraction. We offer a range of restoration options to bring your smile back to life:
Dental Implants
Once your extraction site has fully healed (typically 3-6 months), dental implants can be an excellent option to restore your smile. Our team will assess your jaw health to determine if you’re a good candidate for implants.
Other Restoration Options
Depending on your specific needs, we may also recommend:
- Bridges
- Partial dentures
- Full dentures
Our team will work with you to find the best solution for your unique situation.
Regular Check-ups: Your First Line of Defense
Remember, many extractions can be avoided with regular dental check-ups. These visits allow us to catch and treat issues early, potentially saving your natural teeth. Learn more about our dental cleanings and check-ups.
