Our Tooth Extraction Process

It’s important to note that the extraction process may vary depending on the specific case and the patient’s needs. Oral surgeons are highly trained professionals who prioritize patient comfort and safety throughout the procedure. Patients should communicate openly with their oral surgeon and follow their recommendations for a successful recovery.

Patient Evaluation and Consultation

The process begins with an initial consultation where Dr. Tebyanian evaluates the patient’s dental and medical history.

X-rays and scans may be taken to assess the tooth’s position, condition, and the surrounding structures.

Treatment Planning

Based on the evaluation, the oral surgeon develops a treatment plan that outlines the necessary extractions, any pre-operative instructions, and post-operative care recommendations.

Preparation and Anesthesia

On the day of the procedure, the patient is prepped for the extraction. This may involve taking vital signs and reviewing the treatment plan.

Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the tooth to be extracted. In some cases, sedation or general anesthesia may be used, especially for complex or multiple extractions or for anxious patients.

Extraction Procedure

Dr. Tebyanian will employ various techniques and instruments for extracting problematic teeth with the least amount of trauma to the site, adjusting his approach based on the complexity of the extraction.

Stitching and Wound Care

In certain cases following a tooth extraction, sutures may be necessary, particularly when bone grafting has been performed.

Dr. Tebyanian ensures that bleeding is controlled and may place gauze over the extraction site to aid in clot formation.

Post-Operative Care

The patient is provided with post-operative care instructions, which may include:

Prescribed pain medications to manage discomfort.

Instructions on proper oral hygiene, including avoiding certain foods and activities.

Recommendations for ice packs to reduce swelling.

Follow-up appointments for suture removal and to monitor healing progress.

Recovery

Recovery times vary depending on the complexity of the extraction and the individual’s healing ability.

Patients are typically advised to rest and avoid strenuous activities for a specified period.

It’s important to follow all post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize complications.

Follow-Up

Patients are scheduled for follow-up appointments to assess the healing process, remove stitches if necessary, and address any concerns or complications.
