What is Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is the removal of the tooth from its socket within the jawbone. As you're able to imagine, it's not appealing, but it is a standard surgical procedure for oral surgeons that takes place under general or local anesthesia. Teeth can be either simply or surgically extracted based on their positioning.
Wisdom teeth, also known by the name of third molars are the most frequently extracted because of the high possibility of impaction, crowding or infection when they are introduced later in the life. But, there are also situations where teeth might require extraction due to the fact that they're decayed, damaged or are causing crowding.
Is Tooth Extraction Surgery Painful?
Dentists usually provide local anesthesia in order to numb the region. If needed you require sedation, there are options to help calm anxious patients or permit more complicated extractions. These options include nitrous oxide or laughing gas and IV sedation.

1. Tooth Preparation – Your dentist will remove some of your tooth to allow space for the crown. He will also take impressions of your tooth so that your crown will fit snuggly.
2. Placement of Temporary Crown – Once the impressions are taken your dentist will place a temporary crown over the tooth to protect it while your crown is being made.
3. Permanent Crown Cementation – It will normally take 7-10 days to have your custom crown ready to be placed. On your return visit the temporary crown is removed and your permanent crown is cemented to your tooth.
