Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, but most commonly to remove teeth which have become nonrestorable through tooth decay, periodontal disease or dental trauma; especially when they are associated with toothache. Most extractions can be performed comfortably and quickly at Clemens Oral Surgery by utilizing either local anesthesia or some type of sedation.
Generally, recovery from most extractions is straightforward and most patients can return to their usual activities in 1 to 3 days.
