Benefits Of Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are always performed with your overall health in mind. There are benefits to having a tooth pulled, including:
- Prevention of decay and infection: Sometimes the best way to keep a problem from spreading is to eliminate it right where it took root. Tooth extraction can be the best way to ensure the continued safety and health of all your teeth.
- Providing adequate space: An overcrowded mouth can come with a slew of its own problems and complications, such as greater risk of injury, infection, or wear to protrusive or misaligned teeth. Extracting some of the excess teeth can drastically improve your ability to brush and floss thoroughly.
- Relief from pain and difficulty: Having a tooth pulled can be the most efficient way to eliminate pain, restore full functionality to the mouth, and correct certain speech or eating difficulties.
There are many benefits and reasons for a tooth extraction. You can always rest assured that our dentists have considered all your options and are proceeding with what is best for both your oral and overall health.

Feeling Nervous About Tooth Extractions?
Anxiety-Free Tooth Extractions
If the very thought of a tooth extraction fills you with dread, we can provide a plethora of personalized comfort menu options to make your experience a soothing one.
Talk to us about any anxiety you are feeling, so we can tell you what we offer in our office to help you feel calm and relaxed during your appointment.
One of the benefits of tooth extraction is that it can be completed quickly right in our office. While every procedure is different, simple tooth extractions are usually completed in under an hour.
Simple Healing
The healing process from a tooth extraction is fairly straightforward. Your dentist will explain what to expect as you heal from your procedure, but we recommend taking it easy for at least 24 hours. After 24 hours, let your body be your guide and proceed with your normal routine as soon as you feel comfortable. You will be provided with verbal and written post-op instructions to refer to during your quick recovery process.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Your wisdom teeth are an extra set of molars that typically grow in between the ages of 17 and 25. Although these wisdom teeth were useful at one time, we no longer need them.
Wisdom tooth removal is a common type of extraction procedure we perform at Future Of Dentistry in Billerica. Having a wisdom tooth pulled can relieve overcrowding. In this case, tooth extraction protects your other teeth from uneven wear and other forms of damage.
We can even remove wisdom teeth that have become impacted, which is when a wisdom tooth grows at an odd angle or becomes trapped beneath the gums. Rather than referring you to a specialist of some sort, we can perform impacted wisdom teeth removal here in our office.
If you are searching for an anxiety-free and painless tooth extraction experience, then look no further than Future Of Dentistry in Billerica. Call (978-663-4303) or contact us here to schedule your tooth extraction appointment in Billerica today.
How To Extract A Wisdom Tooth?
Like all of our procedures, the first step is a comprehensive evaluation. Our dentists will look at your overall dental health and use diagnostic tools such as x-rays to form a complete picture of your teeth and jaw.
When you move forward with wisdom tooth removal, the procedure is performed in-office and usually takes only an hour.
- The first step is to administer the local anesthesia and numb the areas.
- When the tooth is beneath the gum line, an incision is made in the gums.
- The wisdom tooth is removed either whole or in pieces.
- The extraction site is irrigated and cleaned out.
- If an incision was made, stitches might be placed.
- Lastly, gauze is placed over the extraction site to help stop any bleeding.
It’s common to require some recovery time with us in the office. When you’re ready to go home, we’ll make sure you have everything you need to ensure a smooth recovery process.
