Identifying Crucial Dental Symptoms
At North Harwood Family Dentistry, we understand the severity of tooth pain and the urgency for relief it brings. We offer prompt solutions that not only alleviate your pain but also aim to preserve your tooth whenever possible.
Please reach out if you encounter any of the following:
- Intense tooth discomfort.
- Increased pain during biting or chewing.
- Stiffness or pain in the jaw.
- Inflamed gums surrounding affected teeth.
- Symptoms of gum disease, including changes in color, bleeding, or unpleasant smells.
The Treatment Plan
There are many reasons a tooth may require removal. They include (but are not limited to) the extraction of baby teeth that have trouble coming through on their own, the extraction of teeth for orthodontic treatment, and the extraction of teeth due to pain or infection.
A dental extraction removal usually requires one office visit and is performed by a dentist. Here is how we go about extracting the tooth:
Exploring All Options
Before opting for extraction, we prioritize your health and comfort by exploring all possible alternatives to save your tooth, offering relief and preserving your dental health.
Gentle Extraction Process
We tailor the extraction process to your needs, using local anesthesia to numb the area and offering sedation options for a pain-free experience. Our approach minimizes invasiveness, promoting comfort and swift recovery.
Aftercare and Follow-Up
Post-extraction, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions for healing and are ready to address any concerns during your recovery.
Cost Of A Dental Extraction In Ajax
The investment in dental extractions varies significantly, reflecting the complexity and individualized approach of each case. At North Harwood Family Dentistry, we strive to make financial considerations transparent and manageable.
With standard insurance coverage, out-of-pocket expenses for a dental extraction may range from $100 to over $200. Our team is ready to assist with advance quotes for insurance purposes, ensuring you have a clear understanding of potential costs. For those without insurance, the price can range from approximately $200 to $600 or more per tooth, influenced by various factors unique to each patient.
Due to the personalized nature of dental care, we are unable to provide precise estimates without a comprehensive oral examination. Dental extractions fall into two main categories, each affecting the cost differently:
Simple Tooth Extraction: This procedure involves teeth that are visible and can be easily accessed. Performed under local anesthesia by our general dentists, simple extractions are more straightforward and thus less costly.
Surgical Tooth Extraction: For teeth that are not visible or accessible, such as those not fully erupted or broken at the gum line, surgical extractions are necessary. These procedures are more complex and require the advanced skill and care of our team, resulting in higher costs.
