Tooth Extractions in
Ravenswood, Chicago

When a Tooth Extraction Is Needed

Dr. Renieris may recommend a tooth extraction when:

• A tooth is severely decayed or damaged beyond repair
  
• Infection has spread to the root or surrounding bone
  
• Crowding prevents proper alignment
  
• Wisdom teeth are impacted or causing discomfort
  
• A tooth needs removal before implant placement or orthodontic treatment
  

We’ll always explore conservative options first, such as tooth repair, before recommending extraction.

The Tooth Extraction Process

1. Examination & Imaging: We take digital X-rays to assess your tooth and surrounding bone.
   
2. Comfort First: Local anesthesia gently numbs the area for a pain-free experience.
   
3. Extraction: Dr. Renieris carefully removes the tooth using precise, minimally invasive techniques.
   
4. Aftercare: We provide detailed instructions to help you heal quickly and comfortably.
   

For patients feeling anxious, we also offer sedation dentistry options to make your visit even more relaxing.

What to Expect After Extraction

Some mild swelling or tenderness is normal for a day or two after your procedure. You can expect to:

• Bite on gauze to control bleeding for the first few hours
  
• Use an ice pack to reduce swelling
  
• Eat soft foods for a couple of days
  
• Avoid smoking or using straws during initial healing
  

Most patients feel back to normal within a few days and can return to work the next day.

After your extraction, we’ll discuss replacement options such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures to restore your smile and function.
