Fast and Easy Tooth Extractions in Alexandria, VA

McLean & Arlington Extraction Specialists

Decaying or damaged teeth are often painful for patients and can affect their overall oral health. In some cases, the best course of treatment is to have the tooth extracted. This can be done through a simple extraction, which is when the dentist removes the tooth from the socket with forceps, or a surgical extraction, which is when the dentist cuts into the gum tissue to remove the tooth. At Dental Masters, we perform tooth extractions after providing a consultation to assess the needs of each patient.

The Purpose of Tooth Extractions

Many patients ask why a tooth extraction is necessary. When the tooth is damaged and at risk of spreading infection, it's better to have the tooth removed and then replaced in the future. There are a few other reasons why your dentist may recommend a tooth extraction:

To remove a tooth that is too damaged to be repaired

To remove a tooth that is causing crowding in the mouth

To prepare the mouth for dental implants

Signs You Need a Tooth Extraction

Do you have a painful, damaged, or unsightly tooth you think may need to be extracted? If you think your tooth is beyond repair, here are other signs that you need a tooth extraction:

Your tooth is severely decayed

You have an abscessed tooth

Your tooth is infected

You have severe periodontitis

You have wisdom teeth that are causing pain or crowding

Does a Tooth Extraction Require Sedation?

Sedation is not always necessary for a tooth extraction, but it may be recommended depending on the circumstances. If you're having multiple teeth extracted, sedation may be used to help you relax. Sedation can also be used if you have a fear of dental procedures or if you have a low pain tolerance. There are several different types of sedation available at Dental Masters offices, including nitrous oxide, IV sedation, and general anesthesia.

"I’ve been going to Dental Masters of Alexandria for years and a patient of Dr. Laviola since he started practicing here. He’s very personable, knowledgeable, takes time to explain procedures (I’ve had quite a few!) and is just an amazing dentist. The entire staff is wonderful, always helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!"

Aimee P.

"I have been a patient of Dr. Laviola's for several years now, and this is the best dental practice I have ever been to. Dr. Laviola and the whole team takes extraordinary care to make sure you are always comfortable throughout any cleaning and procedure, both major and minor (I have had both). The entire support team is also great."

Brett E.

"Dr. Laviola explained everything down to the last detail ..Soon after I was getting prepared for a life-changing event with dental implants. The surgery was so simple ..If you follow all instructions on medications there is little to no pain. The dental surgeon is amazing ..Everything from start to finish was done with perfection."
