Tooth Extraction in Toms River, NJ

REQUEST APPOINTMENT

The thought of having a tooth pulled can be daunting. At Cambridge Dental Group in Toms River, we believe that tooth extraction, when necessary, should be a comfortable, stress-free, and positive step toward restoring your oral health. Dr. Isaac V. Perle and Dr. Revah, with their decades of combined experience and gentle approach, are here to provide you with exceptional, pain-free tooth extraction services in a calming and modern environment.

While our primary goal is always to save your natural teeth, there are situations where an extraction is the best course of action to alleviate pain, prevent infection from spreading, and pave the way for a healthier smile. Using state-of-the-art technology and advanced techniques, we ensure your procedure is as quick, comfortable, and predictable as possible. You are in expert, caring hands.

Understanding When a Tooth Extraction is Necessary

A tooth extraction is the careful removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. Our dentists only recommend this procedure when a tooth is too damaged or diseased to be saved by other treatments like fillings, root canals, or crowns.

Common reasons you may need a tooth extraction include:

  • Severe Tooth Decay: When decay reaches the inner pulp of the tooth, it can cause a severe infection that cannot be resolved with a root canal.
  • Advanced Gum Disease: Progressive periodontal disease can loosen the teeth by destroying the bone and tissues that support them.
  • Impacted Teeth: This most commonly affects wisdom teeth that are trapped in the jawbone or gums, often causing pain, swelling, or risking damage to adjacent teeth.
  • Cracked or Fractured Teeth: If a tooth is broken beneath the gum line, it may be impossible to restore it with a crown.
  • Crowding: Sometimes, teeth are extracted as part of an orthodontic treatment plan to create space for proper alignment.
  • Risk of Infection: For patients undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplants, or other procedures that compromise the immune system, removing a potentially problematic tooth is a proactive measure.

Our Tooth Extraction Services

Cambridge Dental Group is fully equipped to handle all types of tooth extractions, from simple to complex surgical procedures. You can find all the expert care you need right here in our Toms River, NJ office.

1. Simple Tooth Extractions

A simple extraction is performed on a tooth that is visible in the mouth, has a single root, and is intact.

  • The Procedure: After thoroughly numbing the area with local anesthetic, Dr. Perle or Dr. Revah will gently loosen the tooth in its socket using an instrument called an elevator. They will then use forceps to rock the tooth back and forth until it can be easily lifted out. You will feel pressure but no pain during the process.

2. Surgical Tooth Extractions

This is a more complex procedure required for a tooth that has not fully erupted, has broken off at the gum line, or has multiple or curved roots.

  • The Procedure: Dr. Revah, with his 30+ years of oral surgery expertise, performs these procedures. After ensuring you are completely numb and comfortable, a small incision may be made in the gum tissue to access the tooth. In some cases, a small amount of bone may need to be removed, or the tooth may be sectioned into pieces for easier removal. Dissolvable stitches are often placed to aid healing.

3. Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last to erupt and often cause problems due to a lack of space.

  • Our Expertise: We are highly experienced in wisdom tooth management. Using digital X-rays or 3D cone beam scans, we can precisely determine the position of your wisdom teeth and anticipate any potential complications. We then perform a gentle surgical extraction to remove the problematic teeth, relieving your pain and preventing future issues like cysts, damage to other teeth, and misalignment.

4. Extraction Site Preservation (Bone Grafting)

After an extraction, the jawbone that once supported the tooth can begin to deteriorate. If you are considering a dental implant to replace the missing tooth, preserving this bone is crucial.

  • What We Do: Immediately following an extraction, we can place a bone graft into the empty socket. This graft acts as a scaffold that encourages your body’s own bone to grow, maintaining the jawbone’s structure and volume for a future dental implant. This simple, proactive step makes your future restoration much more successful.

The Cambridge Dental Group Difference: Your Comfort is Our Priority

We understand that anxiety often accompanies a tooth extraction. That’s why we have built our entire process around your physical and emotional comfort.

Step 1: A Thorough, Compassionate Consultation

We never rush into a procedure. We begin with a comprehensive examination, including digital imaging, to assess the tooth’s condition and the surrounding bone structure. We will discuss your diagnosis, explain why an extraction is recommended, walk you through the entire process, and answer all of your questions. Your informed consent and comfort are our top priorities.

Step 2: Pain-Free Procedure with Advanced Anesthesia

We are experts in administering local anesthesia to ensure you feel no pain during the extraction. For patients with higher levels of anxiety, we also offer dental sedation options to help you feel deeply relaxed and at ease throughout your visit.

Step 3: Expert Surgical Technique

Our dentists’ decades of experience mean they possess a gentle, precise touch. They work efficiently to complete the extraction with minimal tissue trauma, which leads to faster healing and less post-operative discomfort for you.

Step 4: Clear Aftercare Instructions & Support

Your recovery is just as important as the procedure itself. We will provide you with clear, written post-operative instructions and a care kit. Our team is also available to answer any questions you may have during your healing process.

FAQs

How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?

Initial healing, where the gum tissue closes, typically takes 1-2 weeks. The underlying bone will continue to heal for several months. Most patients can return to normal activities within a day or two.

What should I do after a tooth extraction to promote healing?

Bite gently on the gauze pad for 30-60 minutes, rest for 24 hours, avoid rinsing or spitting forcefully for the first day, and use an ice pack to minimize swelling. After 24 hours, rinse gently with warm salt water. Stick to soft foods and avoid using a straw.

Will the procedure be painful?

No. You will be completely numb with local anesthesia during the extraction. You will feel pressure, but not sharp pain. After the procedure, any discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers or a prescribed medication if necessary.

What are my options for replacing the missing tooth?

It is important to replace a missing tooth to prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth. We offer several options, including dental implants (the gold standard), implant-supported bridges, and traditional bridges. We will discuss the best option for you during your consultation.

Do you offer sedation for anxious patients?

Yes. We understand dental anxiety and offer sedation options to help you feel completely relaxed and comfortable throughout your extraction procedure. Please discuss your anxiety with us during your consultation so we can create the best plan for you.
