Tooth Extraction in Beaverton

Neish Dentistry in Beaverton, OR, understands the importance of preserving your teeth whenever possible. However, there are situations where tooth extraction is the best step to protect your oral health and overall well-being. 

If you're dealing with pain or have a damaged tooth, you may have questions about the procedure and what comes next. How will my smile look? Will I be able to eat comfortably?

What about tooth replacement options? Rest assured that our team is here to support and guide you every step of the way.

Reasons for Tooth Extraction in Beaverton

Several factors could lead to a tooth extraction;

• Tooth decay or infection cannot be resolved with a filling or root canal
• Advanced periodontal disease has loosened teeth
• Tooth crowding is causing alignment issues
• A tooth is broken beyond repair
• Wisdom teeth cause discomfort or pose infection risks
• Teeth need to be removed to prepare for dentures or implants

We know the thought of having a tooth extracted can be intimidating, and we’ll support you every step of the way. Dr. Neish takes time to explain the procedure and address your concerns to put your mind at ease. Using digital x-rays and advanced imaging technology, he carefully assesses your needs and plans treatment to ensure an efficient procedure.

Dr. Neish uses strong anesthetics to numb the area and may provide oral sedation, if necessary, for your comfort. In keeping with our approach that considers your overall well-being, we conduct atraumatic extractions. This method minimizes harm to surrounding tissues, promotes faster healing, and decreases discomfort after the procedure. 

Enhanced Healing with L-PRF Grafting

Following a tooth extraction in Beaverton, Dr. Neish typically utilizes L-PRF (leukocyte platelet-rich fibrin) grafting to improve healing. L-PRF is derived from a sample of your blood processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors, then applied to the extraction site for improved healing and tissue regeneration. This technique can also aid in preserving bone structure, increasing the success rate of tooth replacement options.

Post-Extraction Recovery Tips

Proper post-extraction care is essential for a seamless recovery. We will provide complete instructions before you leave our office, including:

• Avoiding strenuous activities for the first 24 hours
• Using ice packs to reduce swelling
• Eating soft foods and avoid chewing near the extraction area
• Avoiding spitting, smoking, or using a straw to prevent disturbing the healing clot forming over the extraction site

After healing, we would be happy to discuss tooth replacement options to restore your smile and comfortable chewing. Our solutions include dental implants, bridges, and dentures. We'll work together to find the choice that suits your needs.
