What Is An Emergency Tooth Extraction?
At Coyne Oral Surgery, we strive to preserve our patients' natural teeth whenever possible. However, in some cases we may need to extract a tooth that is infected, broken, or causing problems inside the mouth. Whether you need an emergency tooth extraction or simply need to make room for healthy growth, Dr. Cathleen Coyne and our team are dedicated to making your experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. We can offer multiple sedation techniques, including nitrous oxide and IV sedation, to keep you relaxed and calm. If you're dealing with a broken or infected tooth, we invite you to contact our Franklin, TN dental office to discover if a tooth extraction is the best option to preserve your smile.
How Do You Perform A Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extractions are performed on-site at our Franklin, TN practice. Before starting, we'll provide local anesthesia or more comprehensive sedation to help you stay relaxed and comfortable. Once you're ready, Dr. Coyne will start the extraction. For a simple extraction, Dr. Coyne will loosen up the tooth with a special device called an elevator before removing the tooth. A surgical extraction involves making incisions in your gums to get to the tooth. If necessary, the tooth may be broken up into smaller pieces so it can be removed. After finishing, Dr. Coyne will close the incision in the gums. You may be prescribed antibiotics to take before or after your tooth extraction, especially if you are prone to infections or have other health concerns.
Before you leave, we'll discuss tooth extraction aftercare instructions, including steps you can take to manage pain or bleeding. Depending on how complex the procedure is, it may take you anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for the area to completely heal. In the meantime, you should stick to soft foods (like yogurt, soups, and ice cream) and avoid spicy or hard foods that may irritate your gums.
What Are the Benefits of Tooth Extractions?
At Coyne Oral Surgery, we understand that the idea of having a tooth removed can be daunting, which is why we're committed to making the process as easy as possible for you. The benefits of tooth extraction include:
- Protects healthy teeth from damage caused by an infected or impacted tooth
- Provides a quick, efficient procedure tailored to your needs
- Ensures comfort with local anesthetic and sedation options
- Stops infections from spreading to other teeth and gums
- Creates a strong foundation for tooth replacement options like implants
Tooth Extraction Reviews
Dr. Coyne is a highly skilled oral surgeon. The entire process, from consultation to recovery, was efficient and professional. She took the time to explain the procedure and answered all my questions. The surgery went smoothly, and I experienced minimal discomfort during recovery. I would recommend Dr. Coyne to anyone needing wisdom teeth removal.
Cannot rate Coyn high enough. My wife had her wisdom teeth done here and from start to finish our experience was so warm and welcoming. My wife was very anxious and nervous about this procedure, but the entire staff noticed and aided her in all ways. I recommend this center to anyone and everyone! 10/10.
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Coyne & her team for my 4 wisdom teeth, anesthesia-led, extraction. From surgery prep to leaving the building, the entire team was very professional, kind, & reassuring. Day 2 into my recovery & I’m nearly pain free! Would highly recommend Dr. Coyne to any & all who are needing Oral surgery.
I had a tooth extraction done yesterday at Coyne Oral surgery, of course I was very apprehensive about having this done. I have a very small mouth, so I'm glad I chose to have IV sedation. Everything went very smoothly, I had a little pain yesterday after I got home, but today I'm absolutely fine! Highly recommend Dr. Coyne!
I had the best experience at Coyne. I needed to get my wisdom teeth removed, but was severely anxious regarding the procedure. Marlena was the absolute best resource and spent extra time with me, answering my many (and sometimes irrational) questions and easing my worries. They did everything possible to ensure I had a smooth and painless experience. They even called to check up on me in the first few days after my procedure. I could not more highly recommend an oral surgery practice!!!
